Unfortunately I've been affected by the Xbox layoffs as well as numerous of my talented colleagues. I'm sad our hard work on Perfect Dark may be lost in the dark.

I'm in the market for senior concept artist, lead concept artist and Art Director roles!

My favourite part of the Electric Dreams exhibition at the Tate is Suzanne Treister's "Fictional Videogame Stills" that she made on an Amiga 1000 in the early 90s.
We only have them now because she took photographs of her art on the screen back then - the original Amiga discs have corrupted!

A bit of a late announcement, but I’ll be at GDC this year as part of the Pixelles Ensemble! 💜 Feel free to message me if you’re there and you’d like to meet-up and chat. (especially if it’s art/lighting/cinematography)

Just read a silly take on ray tracing not being noticeable.

Nah

Piss on something other than lighting if you want to talk about marginally meaningful art/tech improvements in games.

Lighting is one of the most powerful levers around to make something feel quality regardless of level of detail.
