Class is back in session! Embrace the nostalgia this fall with acrylic charms based on your favorite 90s virtual pet game, and let work feel a little less like work!

Hey 2D artists! JOB ALERT! 📣 Especially those who do cozy cartoony or pixel art.

I have some game dev friends here in Galway from Psychic Software (Just released Necromancer's Tale) that are looking for an artist to team up for their next game.

Send your portfolio over to [email protected]

I've seen it too, though I'm kinda surprised the biggest franchise is cutting those kinds of corners. Usually its to reduce back and forth revisions when there's ridiculously tight deadlines and sometimes an outsourcing language barrier involved.

A portrait of my friends Kari and Brad (and their kitty), in the style of Steven Universe.
Great friends can be make or break as we navigate the tougher times in life, and I'm so grateful for mine!

Here are some pretty renders of the packaging design work I did on the game BullShark for Wombo Combo Games!

Background art for the rectangular box by Jane Kang, character colors for the rectangular box by Caden Cheron.

Do I (or do you?) know anybody who does commissioned digital art, is available, and can (with urgency) create an incredible, soft, ephemeral magical water painting-style piece?

While I know tons of incredible game artists I sadly never paid too much attention to their waterpainterly work.

Mr Beast’s recent failed attempt to sell AI YouTube thumbnails shows that creators want art made by real people. Don't replace experienced professionals with a colorful slot machine. In light of that, I'd like to remind you that I'm available to make custom illustrated thumbnails!

My first ever Neopet back in the day was a green Mynci!

The Moehog is one of my favorite Neopets species.
Which 8-bit Neopet should I make next?

Less than a week after releasing the 56th species of Neopet, Varwolf, the Neopets team has resurrected another old April Fools design for official release! Meet the Hughman, the 57th Neopet species!

Neopets just released their first new pet in over a decade, so I thought I'd try my hand at an 8-bit version of the new Varwolf.
