½ 8 is an online gallery maintained by Anton Sokolov. Mostly artworks, available in hi-res for download & print, free of charge. If you want to pay an attribution, just hang it on your wall. I do appreciate it.
I live and work in Tokyo and am keen on lo-fi CGI. Both aspects are paramount in my work. Also, on rare occasions, ~2 times a year, some artworks are accompanied by music. Ambient, raw, yet to feature vocals.
To learn more about my approach, listen to the overview of my recent posters (get a cup of coffee, it's 1 h long).
Besides my personal art, I provide design direction and product management for the next generation of JetBrains apps. Currently, I work on the chat-centric platform for software development teams called Space and Fleet, a next-gen IDE.
If you are interested in building software together with us, apply for an open position or internship through the careers page.
For work inquiries and collaboration ideas, please use info@halfof8.com. I enjoy working with science and cultural institutions, and it is always a pleasure to create new artwork for the Poster Project with a talented ☼ person.
