Peachbo’s mysterious painting of a person in the rain is the winner of our Crea art contest! Congrats Peachbo! Your painting will be included in Crea and enjoyed by players all over the world.

Here is a statement from the artist:*

My work explores the relationship between Bauhausian sensibilities and urban spaces. What starts out as triumph soon becomes corrupted into a manifesto of temptation, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the unlikelihood of a new undefined. As spatial forms become undefined through studious and academic practice, the viewer is left with a new agenda of the darkness of our condition.

Thank you to everyone who entered the contest! There were so many awesome entries, and we hope you had fun making them. Because of Crea’s mod-friendly nature, it will be super easy to add your own paintings into the game as a mod.

*Peachbo did not actually say this.

In Crea, you will be able to craft paintings for your home! The paintings will be randomly created, so you never know which one you’ll get. Collect the whole set!
