If our preferred art direction works for you, we'll love to give illustrating your children's book a shot.

Always wanted to join in for #kidlitartpostcard day! Our studio has always wanted to try our hands on kid lit. Our approach tends to be on the more realistic side (but still cute!). Drop us an email at [email protected] if you want to work with us.

This is my favorite line from this Oatmeal comic.

This isn't a death sentence for artists; it's a tired groan into mediocrity - a Fortnite dance into a sea of Giphy-powered dog shit.

What was once a cherished skill is now just a marketing influencer slopping up engagement metrics like a nude pig in a cheap, hot dumpster.

Looks like no AFA for us this year. It's good to take a break for once. I guess.

Already?!

I tried the Dear Me, I was demo at TGS! Mostly because there was practically no queue and that clear folder swag is good. I think they drop you directly into Chapter... 5? Having not played the game myself yet, I had zero context. So I was just clicking cluelessly on the screen till I reach the end.

These are a selection of illustrations we did for the documentary. We didn't know it ended up as a massive ad for Grab though...

Transforming itself from cell phone to smart phone. A picture of a middle aged businessman talking into a massive brick cell phone on an urban street.

It had 170,000 borrowers across the country... Policemen behind a table with motorcycle helmets on it. The center policeman is holding a sheet of paper with the text 170,000 borrowers written on it.

A fatigued driver lost control of the bus and it careered off... A bus crashing off the side of a mountainous highway. Glass shards everywhere.

They smash the knitting machines inside to smithereens. Workers doing just that. Very satisfying. In the right timeline, these workers should have won.

Era of the Super App. We did a bunch of illustration for this Nat Geo documentary a couple of years back. Just learnt that it has been online all these while!

Thank you. It's kinda annoying that we are getting swamped out out by so, so many spammers. I used to think that we are just competing with other artists who are just much faster!

Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, if we are interested in illustrating new covers for Retrogamer, how do we get in touch? Are new illustrations something Retrogamer commissions?

Check out the Futsumashi Clan artwork from our own Poopiepuff! It was done for R.Talsorian Games' Shadow Scar which is currently on Kickstarter.

A lot of ninjas training within their training hall. Their trainer in the background. There's also mystical creatures too.

The Hibana Clan

Daitengu Sankibo had her hand in founding the Hibana, her focus being finding more experienced practitioners to refine a smaller but unparalleled clan.

Flame, shadow, poison, and drugs are the tools they use to gain the upper hand against enemy Yokai.

Ok. I know the #wahawednesday this time isn't the most 'accurate' depiction of Silent Hill f. I was at TGS 2025 & had the opportunity to check out Konami's booth. It was so atmospheric and creepy. I can't wait to play the game myself eventually. Please bring it to the NS2 as a proper physical game!

The Konami booth at TGS 2025. Promoting Silent Hill f. The key visual for the game prominently on the booth.

Silent Hill f. A creepy miko monster statue in the midst of spider lilies. Display from the Konami booth at TGS 2025

Red lighting. A monstrous looking school girl mannequin holding a sickle. A blackboard with many graffiti and posters as a backdrop.

Watch out fiends! There's a new kick-arse heroine in your spooky, silent hill town. She has a lead pipe and she's not afraid to use it! #wahawednesday

Hinako will not take any prisoners. WHACK. SMACK. CRASH. Eat pipe, ya Silent Hill monstrosity.
