The paintings below were created by Jim Unwin (http://jimunwin.com), designer of LBP’s User Experience, also known as the guy who makes hundreds and thousands of teensy icons to fill up your Popit. Even better, they were created in Move Paint, a new tool in The Move Pack (out now!) that allows you to paint your own stickers, or create masterpieces of modern art by using the Move Motion Controller like a glowing digital paintbrush…

Have you tried painting with Move yet? Link us some meisterworks folks!

Oh my! We’ve only gone and fulfilled our new years resolution by recording another podcast this year (although it should have been released last week oops)!

Mm Podcast 5 is slightly different to what I’m going to describe as the normal way we do things, despite not really recording enough of them to establish any kind of norm. This time we invited Jim Unwin and Nathan Ruck to join the usual gang of Spaff, Tom and Kenny, and focused our discussion on how these guys designed the User Interface for LittleBigPlanet 2.

As referenced in the podcast, Jim has recently uploaded a presentation of his concepts for the UI to Flickr. They should provide you with a more in depth glimpse into the creation of the new UI in LBP2.

Additionally, Jim will be talking at SXSW in March, so if you are going, you should go and listen to what he has to say!

If you have any questions you’d like to ask us, or any comments for us, you can mail us at podcast@mediamolecule.com - thanks for listening, we’ll be back soon!

Found this one on Jim’s desk, I think it’s a Sackboy represented in 3 Dimensions using Lego. Whatever it is, it’s totally awesome. Amiright?

Jim Unwin is our resident king of awesome haircuts, user interface master,  cliff climber, and a member of our team of incredible artists. Using his powers of design, he created this colourful Threadless shirt entitled Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, an immensely positive message to say the least.

It’s been on the internetwebs for what feels like five minutes, but in the grand tradition of internet culture, it has already been made into a cake!

Wait a second, make that two cakes!

That’s enough to make it a meme – any bakers out there want to try their hand at a Jim Unwin Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes cake? I know I will be giving it a go soon. If you want to get your hands on the shirt that spawned two a thousand cakes, you can do so over on Threadless.

If you are in or near to Brighton, UK, why not pop down to the Fishing museum on the seafront this weekend, and take a gander at the Pixel Hail exhibition, where art by our very own Jim Unwin and Kareem Ettouney will be on show. We’ll be heading down tonight to a private showing, ooh aren’t we fancy?

22nd May – 24th May 2009 – The Art of Videogames
An exhibition of art from, and inspired by, videogames

For three days, the annex of Brighton’s Fishing Museum will be taken over by a multimedia exhibition of art from, and inspired by, videogames. Award winning videogames artists will exhibit, alongside artists who’s lives are meshed in someway with the world’s largest entertainment industry: videogames.

Private view: the Friday night opening event will play host to the UK and Brighton’s games luminaries as well as artists and members of the press. A mobile phone auction on the evening will give away an exclusive one-off piece of game art, with all proceeds going to charity. The following two days will be a public exhibition with a special kids’ cosplay event on the Saturday afternoon outside the Fishing Museum.

Venue: Brighton Fishing Museum on May 22nd (private view on the evening), May 23rd and 24th (open all day for visitors).
