Cleeks Art of Golf Collab: Cem Tezcan

Meet Cem Tezcan

Cem Tezcan is a technical artist with more than two decades in computer graphics. His work moves between CAD modeling, procedural texturing, real-time engines, and detailed environment design. Known for his curiosity and precision, Cem builds worlds that blend engineering, imagination, and play. His practice stays rooted in problem-solving, experimentation, and a belief that digital craft can carry the same sense of emotion and story as physical art.

For his Art of Golf design, Cem imagined the golf bag as a portable game station inspired by 90s technology. The bag carries game cartridges, a rechargeable battery, and a vertical CRT screen that plays a custom shoot ’em up called Aerial Combat. He built the game procedurally, creating aircraft, landscapes, explosions, and effects that were later pixelated with a custom dither table to mirror 16-bit color and resolution limits. The result is a playful blend of nostalgia and digital craft.
