Here is a closer look at how I work with a look at one of the illustrations I made for Science Focus for the feature on Social Anxiety.

I thought I’d share the rough of the Slime Rancher 2 piece since there are some nice things I did in it and to show how I work when it comes to making illustrations.

Happy New year! Here’s to 2025 with some of the work I did for clients and exhibitions. I’ve still got work I can’t show yet but soon such as the illustrations I made for a book which is coming this year.

Not quite Christmassy but something that made me more optimistic for next year while looking at the images I’ve created in the past.

this is an illustration that was made for LostinCult’s Console Chronicles for an article about Animal Crossing

Thanks, great to see you are keeping busy

New work for Science Focus on an article about social anxiety and maybe there are other elements to it which affect people who suffer from public spaces.

Getting cold out there so here a shoutout to last year when I made this poster for Terror Twos.

For this poster I wanted to go with giving the feeling that the creature was thawing from its ice tomb.

New work this time for Noema Magazine on an article discussing the case for AI datarails to be put in place since there is an increasing need to regulate AI training data to prevent manipulative tendencies.

With the Slime Rancher 2 exhibition now open, I can now show off my piece for the show, I wanted to capture the feel of the adventure since this is a new island for the player to explore

Thanks to @gallerynucleus and @monomi_park for the chance to make something for this

Here’s a little teaser of the piece I made for @gallerynucleus and @monomi_park in celebration of the release of Slime Rancher 2

Join us & @monomi_park from November 8 - 26 to explore an exclusive showcase of tribute art, concept art, and Interactive installations.

Thank you Carly

Here’s my piece for @kcuriostudio exhibition Kasecurio where artists make cover art on fictional games.

I went with making this trance psychedelic piece loosely based on video games Rez, lsd, wipeout and all the other visually weird and wonderful games from the 90s

Still working away on things, shame I didn’t have time to make something for Halloween so here is an illustration based on pinhead from Hellraiser from a spooky art show where I think there are still prints available of this at Gallery 1988

Some illustrations I’ve worked on over the year which were fun projects to work on. I’m still working away on things though I can’t show anything yet

A photo of three promotional trading cards being held in a hand in front of a plant. The cards show images by different illustrators.

A selection of our fabulous members' Artist Trading Cards to gladden your eyeballs 🙂 Here we have cards from @scottbalmer.bsky.social, @egorodriguez.com and @kristinagehrmann.bsky.social.

Since the Crazy 4 Cult art show is now live at Gallery 1988 I thought I’d show how this piece was constructed with Affinity Designer

I tend to work between computer and iPad with the iPad being used for touch ups and shading

This Friday is the opening of @galleries1988 Crazy 4 Cult with this piece being based on 80s flick Flight of the Navigator.

Influenced by old 80s cgi and video tape packaging I wanted to have this piece capture the feel of the time

I can finally reveal the latest card I made for Magic the Gathering the Rust Harvester

Part of the Edge of the Eternities line this was such a fun card to work on and one I can’t wait to see players get it in their hands

What’s it going to be then, eh?

As Alex sits with his three droogs in the Korova Milk bar wondering what to do. I went with making a book cover illustration on A Clockwork Orange
