An epic modern saga of love, betrayal, corruption, revenge and redemption!

I did this watercolor for a Galerie Maeght show in Paris last February, based on a rough sketch in my sketchbook, and my memory of the scene, which touched me for many reasons.

no way... they charge eight bucks for a coffee, and there's a line! Hemingway wouldn't have stood for it

Paris sketchbook, January 2018. Can anyone guess the café? (Hint: quai of the Seine is just the other side of those trees)

It was cool to see the author of Prince of Persia here on Bluesky. I was even more surprised he also made Karateka. I mentioned Karateka in a school essay when I was seven years old.

Woo-hoo! Congrats !!🙌🎉🕹️

Congratulations to Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection for winning the #DICEAwards Fighting Game of the Year! @digitaleclipse.bsky.social

Do you remember this Game Boy game?

🕹 Master Karateka (JP)
📅 1989
💡 Cinematic martial arts action
🥋 Timing and precision were everything

👑 Based on Karateka by @jmechner.bsky.social. You can already feel the ideas that later shaped Prince of Persia.

Prince of Persia is our fifth pick, largely the work of the magnificent @jmechner.bsky.social!

A technical marvel and an artistic statement. No matter how you play it, you won't forget it!

Prince of Persia, que lembranzas! Anclado como estaba eu nos 8 bits do meu Amstrad CPC 464, que xa me proporcionaran o seu debido «sentido da maravilla» no pasado, nos primeiros anos de instituto fascinábame este xogo, que podía probar na casa dalgún compi afortunado que xa gastaba 286 con *Adlib*!
