Death Wins
Acrylic on found wood
2009

Drawn seven years ago, it’s an apt way of showing the art block and problems I currently have.

Not much to report. Just getting some ink drawing done.

Thanks Neil, I hope you’re well!
Yeh, I’d say my infamy and experience sort of makes me feel like I’m a failure when it’s just not working at the moment.

I’m seeing it as a sabbatical. I think I’ve lost my authorial voice by being too agreeable in advertising/ branded work.

Tell me about it. When I was working on a big book project I just played pc engine shmups in my lunch break and ended up getting really good at them.

I keep falling asleep trying to play unicorn overlord. Like all vanillaware games, it’s part visual novel, but there’s a lengthy opening tutorial

ZINEHAMMER!
Food for thought for The Food For Thought God.
Full color A5 CHARITY zine. Warhammer inspired art and prose. 2026ish. If GW won't send assassins after me.
Just look at the art recently created by @jackteagle.bsky.social, @frederikhornung.com, @brendanalbetski.bsky.social and me.

I’ve had that itch too.
I’m really struggling to find any time for gaming, but I feel like retro stuff actually wastes your time way less than all the modern behemoths.

Haha I got sword of kings in the first encounter with that particular enemy! This was years ago.

Correction sorry, I don’t have L.
I have M, XL and XXL

I've put the last of my GAME OVER MAN shirts on discount as an end of the line deal. I only have a few M, L and XXL left of these.

You can grab one from my store at: jackteagle.bigcartel.com
(I can't send to the US for the time being)

Yeh, the variety of your characters and the depth of your world and the dialogue, I can’t imagine being able to make that all caged up!
jackteagle.bsky.social
No, but not far off! I do a little of everything. I’m front of house and shop assistant, and I tend to bonsai.

It’s a small, intimate garden that’s got a lot of accessibility, so it’s nice ushering people in who maybe can’t do longer walks.

Yeh I was going to get a watch with a step tracker but the watches I want have smart phone integration, so I’m just getting a classic Casio.

Stops any temptation of checking notifications when checking the time. Also, the batteries on objects that JUST do their jobs lasts sooo much longer!

On top of that, I love my job. I work at a garden that I would take my daughter to a lot when she was a toddler.
I really love being able to great people who are also looking for a bit of inner peace.

It’s nice just making thing and experimenting instead of seeing some modicum of online success with an image and then immediately thinking “I can monetise this!!!”

I also find it hard to keep up with the content churn. Everything has accelerated since I was first online.

I worked on some big projects in the last few years but I think I just massively burnt out.
I’ve been dealing with the passing of my gran and grandad who I helped care for, for the last few years.
My online store ground to a halt. It’s hard out there. But I’m much happier reflecting on everything

I’ve been full time freelancing as an illustrator for 15 years. In July I took on a part time job.
It’s been really helping me to find better balance and routine in my life, and I’m slowly learning to love making personal work again. It’s nice to feel a lot more centred.

Thanks Lukasz! Cheaper than painting the real thing roo 😉

Getting back into watercolour for fun.

I got this painting accepted into the county museum for an open call exhibition! Varnished and sent to the framers today!

Thank you everyone for the flurry of support recently. I’m not very active online at the moment. I’ve had a very tough year.
I’ll do my best to share my art, but it’s just been really challenging. I’m very time poor at the moment.
jackteagle.bsky.social
Thanks! That’s really made my day to hear. I’ve been struggling with artist block for a while in my personal work, so I’ll try my best to keep going and pushing through it.
