I know times are tough, but this job isn't it. I make more than this in QA, and my work isn't used to screw over other artists. They'll treat you like crap, spit you out when they're done, and all you'll accomplish is making life harder for other artists. #GameDev

Today, The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin opens at AA Gallery in London! Curated by Sarah Shin and Harriet Jennings, the exhibition presents a selection of Ursula's maps, including some that have never been exhibited before.

A photo of the entrance to The Word for World exhibition, with two banners hanging vertically down outside the doorway to a brick building with white-paned windows. A row of bicycles are parked in front. The banners are purple and white and say the name of the exhibition and Ursula K. Le Guin's name.

A cord-wrapped rock rests on a vivid blue background next to a map of and program for The Word for World exhibition.

A stack of copies of The Word for World book, which shows the title in vivid blue against a black cloth cover.

Hey friends - my time at Heart Machine is ending after nearly 6 years. It’s difficult to say goodbye to a studio that has seen so much growth in myself and others.

If you know of any studios hiring for audio lead or senior roles, please send them my way. DMs are open!
