Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman, inside and out. Swedish artist Johan Andersson tried to convey her ethereal feminine look in a topless, post-mastectomy portrait. The vulnerable painting of Brad Pitt's love is going to be sold for auction, per ArtBelow.org. Proceeds from the sale will go to the Falling Whistles charity, an organization that campaigns for peace in the Congo, which ArtBelow points out is, "a cause which Angelina Jolie herself is very passionate about."

Famed Swedish artist Johan Andersson has painted a topless portrait of actress Angelina Jolie that may be shocking to some.
The oil painting features a bare-chested Jolie after her elective double mastectomy surgery -- an experience she described in a candid op-ed for The New York Times titled "My Medical Choice" earlier this month. The 37-year-old elected to undergo the surgery after learning she carried the breast cancer gene. The surgery lowered her risk of getting breast cancer from 87 percent to under 5 percent.

For Andersson, Jolie's plight hit home.
"My mother had aggressive breast cancer when I was 15, the thought of her having to have a mastectomy really scared me and she was fortunate enough to have surgery without the mastectomy," Andersson told U.K. art enterprise Art Below, which has worked with the artist on past paintings. "The recent news about Angelina stirred an anxiety within...

EA and Disney recently announced a new deal that will see EA developing a series of Star Wars games, but Nintendo fans may not be joining in the fun.
According to Dice Technical Director, Johan Andersson, the team behind the Frostbite Engine has hit stumbling blocks with the Wii U, and finds its lack of power disturbing. Andersson recently tweeted “FB3 has never been running on WiiU. We did some tests with not too promising results with FB2 & chose not to go down that path.”
This is a problem, as the Star Wars games coming from EA, beginning in 2014, will be using the Frostbite 3 engine, meaning that the franchise will likely miss the Nintendo platform out.
Alongside this, other titles slated to use the FB3 engine may also...

Even though Electronic Arts has yet to announce a single title from their recently announced deal with The Walt Disney Company to produce video games based on the Star Wars brand, we are already seeing pretty clear signs that none of the upcoming software will be ported to Nintendo’s Wii U console.
After EA announced the Star Wars deal earlier this week, Dice technical director Johan Andersson took to Twitter to clear up some confusion over the studio’s history with the Wii U. While responding to a follower Andersson revealed that Dice has never attempted to get the Frostbite 3 game engine running on Nintendo’s new console. According to the Tweet, the studio “did some tests with not too promising results with Frostbite 2″ and ultimately decided not to “go down that path.”

Battlefield 3 is to focus on scale and environmental destruction over visuals on consoles, Dice has revealed. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game will have a screen resolution of 720p and a framerate of 30 frames per second, both of which are described as the norm for shooters by rendering architect Johan Andersson. He told a user on Twitter: "99.9% of PS3 and Xbox 360 games are 720p and a lot of them, including MW2 is way lower than that. How is that a shame [sic]?" Andersson explained that it would not be possible to include vehicles, scale and a large number of players otherwise. "Name a single Fps game that runs at 1080p on any of the consoles? Would have to do huge gameplay cuts," he wrote. (more)...
