Really happy to share my #artvsartist 2025 as this was the year I returned to freelancing after being made redundant from my games job - and what a year it was! ✨

Thank you so much to the clients who supported me - I feel like my work grew a lot through challenges faced <3 Let's go, 2026! 💪

I've kicked new life into my Elementals series, a collection of paintings depicting the physical manifestation of spirits connected to various elements and powerful phenomena on Earth.

Here's the first of the new collection

Hello to the bunch of new followers who popped up this week 👋

Great to see new faces!

I've got a bunch of work in NDA land right now but the Christmas break means I can spend time painting some personal pieces too which I'll share soon

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

SO! I found the solution to appeal in an old renaissance book on architectural design:

"Beauty is the state where nothing can be added or removed from the design, except to its detriment.”

Which is pretty much what I remember hearing Tyler Edlin saying as well - we just can't say beauty anymore
