Thanks Andriy! :)

Illustration for a bookmark. It's a red and teal overlapping style for a riso print. The image is of Barad Dûr with beams emanating from Sauron's eye at the top. The eye is surrounded with the words inscribed on the one ring. In arching text it reads: "I'D RATHER BE READING THE LORD OF THE RINGS AGAIN" and "JRR TOLKIEN".

BOOKMARK! 📖

Okay but what if I were to make a bucket hat with a yellow top and white brim and call it the eggg hat.

Did you know that you can just LEAVE twitter? Like, your life will become a lot better I promise you this.

A joyful zebra, that is also a knight, ON FIRE, with stripes and tail turning to flames, garbed in a golden helmet with plumes that also turn to flames, rearing up and holding a striped lance that is also on fire, setting out on an adventure across sunny mountains, along a road leading to a golden castle. A little fire salamander friend tags along.

Happy Year of the Fire Horse! 🔥

Fire zebra, whatever, close enough…

I know, late to the party, but party on anyway!

Couldn’t figure out why I was enjoying The Artful Dodger so much until I realized that it has A Knights Tale vibes.

Collage illustration showing Link, from The Legend of Zelda, leaving a dungeon, holding a sword and shield. The dungeon entrance is sculpted as a monster face, around which 2 spider-like creatures are lurking. There is a row of stylized repeated trees in the background, and a mountain far in the distance. A fairy hovers in the foreground over some bushes.

Collage illustration based on The Legend of Zelda, for the NES. Link is going up a set of stairs up the mountain, towards a dungeon entrance in the background. But in front of him, in the middle-ground, there is a plateau with a group of Armos statues. One of them, of a different color, seems animated and is coming to fight Link.

Collage illustration based on The Legend of Zelda, showing link on a raft going towards an island with a dungeon entrance. This is a reference to a part of the game where the player floats to an island in this way, but also an allusion to Isle of The Dead, a famous painting by Arnold Bocklin.

Collage illustration based on The Legend of Zelda. Link fights a giant hand trying to grab him. The ground they are standing on is made of rock blocks forming paths and a platform, surrounded by a bright red liquid that looks like lava. There is a skeleton in the foreground, trespassed by a sword, and a dirty old door with a big keyhole in the background.

Zelda 40th anniversary, that's a big one! Time to pull these out (I try not to spam them so much these days, but today it's mandatory).

Also, a 35% promo on my website started just in time, in case you'd like to celebrate with a print! 🙏

2 colour illustration that will be a flag and risograph. In spiky white black metal type the word MORDOR at the top. A cruel iron wall with spiked towers on either side fortifies a gap in the black mountains. In the foreground the Mouth of Sauron rides a dead horse caring a black banner with a red eye on it. Blasted/jagged rocks litter the ground around him. In the background Barad Dûr stands emanating a hateful aura. A white road leads from the fortress through cruel open gates. This is for a convention in April/May. Ill release it as a digital print towards the middle of the year.

THE BLACK GATE OPENS

Still from Independence Day (1996). Sunfish obliterating the White House with an energy beam.

Yesterday I finished my last illustration for Castle Whiterock, the campaign setting by @goodmangames.bsky.social . This April they’ll release the Backerkit campaign. In the meantime, here’s a quick preview of my last illustrations. I hope you like them!

Joke would work much better if he wasn't a cop.

You joke, but I got fired from the Sunday Nonce because my article on how knife crime was caused by genetic defects from the 1875 miasma didn’t put enough blame on poor people.
