Join us for our first ever Casual Jam.

Casual Jams are a more frequently run skin jam, where there are no prizes, no judges and no winners. Just a theme and good vibes.

To celebrate pride month, the first theme is pride!

Looking for feedback on a different layout for the new editor. Do people like it? Is there anything else about the layout that should be changed?

I would like to introduce skins.place, the new permanent home for the Skins Place editor, from our April Fools day event.

Skins Place is a real-time, collaborative skin experiment, where you can place a pixel on the skin, and watch the skin change over time.
