Ending things on a high we have Studio Director, Tom, reflecting on a very talented figure:

"Sonia Delaunay was an abstract artist obsessed by colour and its many subtle interactions. She co-founded and pioneered several movements and was the first living female artist to have a retrospective at the Louvre. What really inspires me though, is the fearlessness in which she expressed her work in whatever medium she saw fit. From textiles, to giant mural paintings, to costume design, to decorating a car! If you have a passion for an idea, Sonia Delaunay teaches us we should believe in that passion and go for it!"

Our brilliant Production Assistant, Maria, shares her reflections on one of the women who inspired her and the importance of positivity:

“Canadian Artist Qing Han, aka Qinni, is most famously known for her work on DeviantArt and especially her freckled galaxy girl piece. Her style is beautifully melancholic, a reflection of her struggle.
She suffered heart conditions and then got diagnosed with cancer last year. But through her pain, she would create, teach and add a touch of comedy to her situation. Unfortunately, she passed away to cancer this year on the 10th of February. She taught me that even in the hardest of times, positivity is a choice. Her art continues to inspire. She won’t be forgotten.”

"Some of my earliest gaming memories come from playing the original Core Tomb Raider game on the family PC. Lara Croft is an gaming icon in an industry dominated by male characters, and to kid me she was cool, brave and athletic with just the right level of sass. Fighting velocoraptors, solving puzzles, traversing giant underground temples and facing down undead monstrosities; Lara encouraged me to have confidence in a scary and changeable world. She deserves to be recognised for more than just her design; for the ways she inspired young gamers and impacted future game development around the world." .
