Because I haven't shared these here yet, I thought I'd share them all together!

Here are all of my pencil and ink sketches for my solo show @gallerynucleus.bsky.social!

Thanks! I will!

A photo of a boxed RX-78F00/E Gundam plastic model kit. The model includes blue wing-like solar panels and looks cool as f.

My mother-in-law asked me to assemble this Osaka Expo exclusive gunpla for her. I played it pretty cool in the conversation but I’m not going to lie I’m pretty excited about it

A digital illustration in isometric perspective of the upstairs of a tiny bookshop. Afternoon light streams through the window. A young woman stands, flicking through the pages of a book.

Draw a bookshop, they said. It'll be fun, they said. And hey - it was, so I guess they were right. 📚 Done in Procreate with some of the new brushes

A pencil drawing of a cloudy Black Rock beach in North Wales from 3 years ago this week.

My OCs, sister and brother Ema and Ren, living their lives full of adventure and fun ⚔️💕 Finally finished drawing this after months of putting it in the backseat! 🥰

Side Quest Warriors ⚔️
Ema & Ren seeking out those bonus items and stories any way they can 🗺️💪

A drawing of a woman in plate and cloth armor, reaching behind her head to tie her hair. She is wearing a sword, shield and rondelle dagger at the hip.

Me: The Middle-Ages were actually very colorful.
Also me: I only want to paint black and green.

I wanted to play that but I was there by myself so I had no one to play with!

I really enjoyed Tokyo Game Show! I played a lot of cool games and met a lot of cool people. I also came away with an inordinate number of free stickers.

Other games that I didn’t get chance to play but looked really cool: Time Flies! Over the Radio! And Roger! Graytail! Electro Bop Boxing League! Tanuki: Pon’s Summer!

Some cool indie games that I played at TGS (but didn’t get any photos of): Gecko Gods! Motorslice! Dreams of Another! Until Then! The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time! Aikyam!

My one purchase at TGS: Stopped by the @iam8bit.com store on my way out and bought the Sayonara Wild Hearts LP.

I *might* be able to fit it in my apartment if I try really hard. Not sure my wife would agree to it though…

Didn’t get chance to play this one but it looked super cool

Spent the second half of the day deep in indie games land. Didn’t take many photos, but I played some good games!

Confession time - I have never played Katamari Damacy

Another fun game at the Annapurna booth.

This game was pretty fun!

Although, having said that, it might just be because I’m an decrepit old man but I think @annapurna.com might win just because they let me sit down while playing their games

I think Level 5 win the award for best booth design. (And also the game was fun!)

This game wasn’t playable at the show but these models look pretty rad
