Hey newcomers :) I'm Alex, a videogames artist from Bristol, based in Hamburg, specialising in 3D environment work and 2D illustration.

Current and recent work includes Roman Sands RE:Build and Dreamsettler.

I also play synths in my band ANTA.

I'm always up for talking to new folks!

A 3D scene of a Luthier's workshop, modelled and rendered in Blender. There are lots of half built instruments and both natural and electric light.

A 3D model of a shop with a wooden balcony extrusion. There are lots of goods for sale on the ground in front.

Screenshot of the bar scene in Roman Sands RE:Build. A circular art deco-style bar and various lanterns and chairs are bathed in purple light. Scene designed and directed by @spacecatt.bsky.social

A render of a Bandstand environment, modelled and rendered in Blender. It has an oxidized copper roof and is surrounded by a redbrick wall, with yellow birch trees surrounding.

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!

Yeah, I'm dreading doing the final round of that. Going for the Memento right now and dodge is the only one left

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

Tidligere i år meldte vi et forskningsprosjekt til redelighetsutvalget ved OUS og UiO.

Nå er forskerne felt for alvorlige brudd på forskningsetiske normer.

I'll be amazed if I make it out of the toddler years with both my nuts, honestly. Really surprised there hasn't been a broken nose yet too. They're so powerful.

When I get older, losing my teeth
All too soon indeed
Will you still be phishing me with dodgy texts
AI emails promising sex
If I let your malware access my cam
Will you doxx my dick
Will you still phone me
Will you still pwn me
When I'm ninety six

I think the people who saw no issues with assisted dying being brought in in the UK should take a look at this and think about Britain's lethal contempt for disability.

This is utterly heartbreaking. Too sad for words. A direct result of underfunding the NHS.
