Snowball Fight

February 1st, 2010 by Victor · No Comments · Cinekin Artwork

…as in I desperately want to start one before the snow goes away (fortunately, as Cinekin HQ is in Chicago, that shouldn’t happen until around June). It has been far too long since I have had a good snowball fight.  In fact, in recent years, I have taken to fantasizing about getting all my various [...]

Sadkin

January 25th, 2010 by Victor · No Comments · Cinekin Artwork

This image was one of a handful created for our Facebook App (MovieNightsByCinekin).  He’s the default image that’s visible before users rate any movies or invite friends, etc.  He was a fun one to draw, partly because his melancholy expression is radically different from the sunshiny happy faces of the typical Cinekin.  Also, I love [...]

Dadkin (or Transition from 2009 to 2010, Cinekin style!)

January 7th, 2010 by Victor · No Comments · Cinekin Artwork

I was looking back over some older artwork and I found this little guy. I don’t remember what I drew him for and I don’t think I ever colored him. I think I tucked him away and then completely forgot about him.  In the spirit of Auld Lang Syne, here he is, brought back from [...]

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…Cupid?

November 17th, 2009 by Victor · No Comments · Site Update

I know it’s not Valentine’s Day and we missed Sweetest Day, but I drew up this little guy because I felt it was high time to start visually associating the Cinekin with romance! Matchmaking by Cinekin has been out for a little while now and I felt that it would be a good idea to [...]

Autumn!!

November 6th, 2009 by Victor · No Comments · Cinekin Artwork

Here in Chicago, the days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder as we move towards the holiday season. It’s prime time for romance as we look to that someone special to keep us warm and secure. Personally, I love this time of year. I come from tropic country and I have fond [...]

Zombies!!!

October 23rd, 2009 by Victor · 1 Comment · Cinekin Artwork

Everyone loves zombies!  I don’t know exactly what it is about them that appeals to us so much.  But, considering how many movies are made involving the living dead, and the fact that several US cities are victim to organized zombie walkabouts and pubcrawls (of which I have yet to participate in myself), I think [...]

Matchmaking by Cinekin is like looking through a crystal ball — a crystal ball of science!

October 2nd, 2009 by Victor · No Comments · Cinekin Artwork, Matchmaking by Cinekin

This is GypsyKin. She sort of embodies how I perceive Cinekin: fantastic creatures that, when approached with proper decorum (password and movie ratings), can reveal arcane insights and wisdom (recommendations and matches) by magical means (our patented algorithm). She was obviously inspired by the fortune-telling novelty machines that you used to be able to find [...]
