I'm Jack, aka Zealous Alchemy, an English xylographer (woodcut printmaker) and artist.
I prefer to work with limited colour palettes, often B&W.
I'm interested in anime, cinema, Westerns, and country music - my work mostly reflects these in some way.

International postage rates are out of control. UPU changes mean you can no longer send goods as Letters - they must be sent as Large Letter.
Sending a sticker from UK to USA costs £4.20 + 50p handling = £4.70 (+tariffs!)
Jan 2025 it cost £2.80. ~68% increase.

Been meaning to make some AT Field stickers for a while! I've been playing around with screentones lately, as I enjoy its aesthetic qualities.
This design will be printed on clear vinyl, so I'm hoping it results in an interesting effect.

Not surprised my top 2025 films were Japanese, and two were from IPs I already like.
Nemurubaka was probably my favourite though, worth a watch if you're into Japanese media.

Wasn't happy with my first attempt at this one, so I went back to the drawing board. Pretty pleased with how it turned out this time around!
Now to work on Angel Eyes and Tuco...

That time of year that makes you question everything you've been doing thus far, whilst you try to set out some sort of plan for where to head in the next 12 months...
I want to draw more Western art, but otherwise I'm at a crux.

My purity seal stickers have really popular this year, so I've designed a bunch of variants to get printed in 2026.
I enjoy the idea of people maintaining traditions, yet altering them to fit into their current world view.

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.
He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

Planning a big sticker restock in Jan. Going to retire most of my old designs, except for the most popular.
In the meantime, stickers are 33% off until the end of 2025 - the cheapest they've ever been!

Rewatched Django Unchained. I appreciated it even more this time around, as I've seen a lot more spaghetti westerns since.
Been working on some studies lately, pretty happy with how this one turned out.

Another year, another diabolical Xmas market.
Firstly, terrible weather. Rain all day, it was dark by 2pm. Next, the heating didn't work in the room I was situated in. The venue then bought electric heaters to fix the issue; however the only plug socket near me didn't work.
Maybe I'm cursed.
