oooh @gamesaid.bsky.social following me reminds me that I bought some raffle tickets from them at Develop Brighton (I'm a sucker for a good raffle) and ended up winning myself a nice piece of protective gear.

Time to start my new career in Ripping & Tearing

Jonas is swearing with two fingers at the camera as he poses, his face completely obscured by a dark green helmet with a visor covering the eyes. His long dreadlocks can been seen coming out the helmet.

A dark green helmet with a visor. The helmet is extremely detailed and looks a bit sci-fi.
