hi #PortfolioDay - available to make otherworldly work from 2025.
TTRPGs, board games, more vinyl covers and concept + visdev stuff for games/film/tv would be cool!
illustration for Haunted Table's Triangle Agency adventure 'rom dump' - of adventurers zapping out of a barn window -  a horned cyclops witha book of spells, a protagonise-looking goblin girl, a blue demon with some kind of spirit mace. A grim reaper  hovers in front of the crescent moon. Illustrated cover to the monkey man soundtrack vinyl. The monkey god hanuman opens his ribcage out, behind Dev patel's head. Hanuman's tail is a flaming circle that frames the figures, which dev patel graps. There's flame, blood, fleshy vomit. the busts of two figures, one looks in pain, as they're having their vocal cords yanked from a hole in their throat by the other, who clutches them in a bunch with their furthest hand. With their other hand they concentratedly use a stringed instrument bow on the vocal cords. A rainbow bridges the heads, and is dotted with fantastical music notation. Their busts rest above a small basin. a dark starry background, and a blue room where a bed sit next to windows looking out to the night sky. Psyche lies naked on a patterned bedframe amongst plants, her white hair arching around to the foot of the bed. She  looks in wonder at Cupid - who is illuminated by the three candles she holds up. Cupid appears as a fleshy mass, strung within a halo, from which arrows eminate haphazardly.

A green line drawing featuring a figure looking out the port window of a space craft unto the glowing planet below. Various plants sit on the table. The text beneath reads: "i'm in love with my own reflection, i'm in love with the fruited earth."

El próximo número de @revistaloop.bsky.social tratará sobre religión y folclore, y vendrá acompañado de un devocionario para el cual tuve el placer de ilustrar la portada.

Espero que esta Rennala os anime a echar unas moneditas al crowdfunding para este nuevo bucle de la revista <3

Advert for quitting your cigar dependency, that rewards quitting with lots of cigars, and then gives you the offer to become a 'supplier' of 'cigar meat' if you herf them all in 24 hours.

'Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium' - another recent embroidery commission that now has its new home... doing the buildings was a challenge for me, I'm not so experienced on those. I think I got good detail in without it getting overcrowded :) overall, this aerial landscape was a good challenge!

Aaron Bushnell literally immolated himself in broad daylight to protest the Palestinian genocide and every single person with their hands on the levers of power in this country gave a great big collective shrug and went back to business as usual

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.
if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that.

I forgot about my novelette 'Breaking Water', which was nominated for the Shirley Jackson Awards in 2016, and follows a journalist and a cook who becomes a 'dead charmer' as they grapple with the spiritual fallout of an epidemic of the undead in Kolkata:
