Close-up photograph of a black denim jacket, focusing on an embroidered patch of the rock band AC/DC. The patch features the iconic AC/DC logo in bold, red and white stitching. The letters "AC" and "DC" are separated by a distinctive red lightning bolt. To the right of the AC/DC patch, there is a portion of a second, circular patch which that is silver and black, depicting a yin-yang style dragon and some visible text, "Blind" as in 'Blind Guardian.' The image is captured in a low-light setting, highlighting the texture of the black fabric and the sharp colors of the embroidery. Buttons are visible along the lower-left edge.

Moore is my favourite, but having a favourite doesn't mean thinking they're the best & my word this guy is the *ultimate* 007. He embodies everything that made the previous actors' versions great. Just look at him. That's James Bond.
A photo of Pierce Brosnan in Tomorrow Never Dies. He's stood before a fighter jet in a black leather trench coat and gloves. He's holding an automatic rifle that rests on his hip, his hands hold it just above the magazine. He looks focused and impossibly cool. His hair flops over his face a bit on his left.

Voicing Nikolai was a gift. He's got it all: depth, humor, pathos, the ability to become an 8ft monster. Huge thanks to director Luke Poling & @graphicaudio.bsky.social for letting me join you on this trilogy. I had a blast both working with you & with the script itself. #VoiceActor
Close-up, slightly cropped photo of a white man wearing glasses and headphones in a white-lined recording booth. In the foreground, a silver condenser microphone with a mesh grille is visible, shielded by a black Rode pop filter. The man's left hand is raised, palm facing out, mid-gesture. He is looking intently to the left at a superimposed image of The Midnight Project: Retribution audiodrama cover. Cover art for the GraphicAudio audiodrama production "THE MIDNIGHT PROJECT: RETRIBUTION" by Joseph Nassise. The artwork depicts a dynamic, jungle-like setting with a dense canopy and a waterfall in the background. The scene is centered around a wooden rope bridge. A woman in black is standing on the bridge, facing off against several large, winged, bat-like or reptilian creatures flying toward her. The lighting is dramatic, suggesting a magical or adventurous tone. Logos for GraphicAudio, GraphicAudio ORIGINALS and RBmedia are visible.

I love voicing Nikolai, the strong, protective fella with a mafioso past & 8ft. monster-mode. Big thanks Luke Poling & @graphicaudio.bsky.social for having me return to play him in the 2nd installment. Honestly, these are as much fun to listen to as voice act in (approx 275 tonnes)
A white man in a white padded sound booth. He points to a superimposed picture of cover of The Midnight Club: Revolution audiodrama from GraphicAudio. He wears headphones, glasses and is in front of a mic and pop guards. He wears spectacles. The cover art for an audiodrama titled "THE MIDNIGHT PROJECT REVOLUTION" by Joseph Nassise. ​It features a man and a woman, standing with their backs to the viewer in what appears a large, dark, and grand temple chamber. They are looking towards a bright window or at the center, surrounded by human bone architecture. Stacked skulls on platforms, flank the chamber. ​Overlays indicate it's a GraphicAudio production.

*Available now* It was great to return to the world of #VampireHunterD for @graphicaudio.bsky.social. Working with GA & director Scott McCormick is always a treat. Thanks for trusting me with fan-loved character Benelli the Grim Reaper. #VoiceActor

Played a good friend at #Warhammer World yesterday. Lovely chatting to a mum & her young son who wanted to get into it & being able to say:
🎲 It helps my dyscalculaic self improve my maths
🎲 I've made great friends around UK through it
🎲 It's structured yet wide-open creativity
🎲 No screens needed

My Scope from Colonel Schaeffer's Last Chancers. A fresher coat of paint following the one I gave him as a kid. Probably my favourite single box of toy soldiers I've ever bought.

An in-universe poster from the Zeo Genesis sci-fi tabletop battle game universe. It is an illustration by Andy Hepworth of a suave-looking man extending a glass of Uuhpyores sake to the 'camera' like Bill Murray in Lost in Translation. The 'poster' is made to look old and damaged by folding. The slogan "Time to relax Time for Uuhpyores" Is in the bottom left. Below these are white silhouettes of different bottle types. In the top right is "The only go-to amid the 100 suns. Trevallyon Franklin-Ridgeway Patriarch elect, Rosen Industries" And below that, a fancy but very legible signature: "Trevallyon"

Lovely meeting @gavthorpe.bsky.social in the flesh for a drink yesterday after working with him on @zeogenesis.com for... maybe a year? Definitely approaching it. Always helpful & considerate when it comes to editing the Travelogue stories I write for the game. Nice happy photo 😁😁

Happy #WorldVeganDay to all my fellow lovers of animals and care-abouters of the environment!
Here's a couple of animals I wouldn't eat, thus I wouldn't eat the ones I don't personally know.

Then we went to see one of my very favourite films, The Thing, at the Light cinema. Not only was it not too gory (I was a bit worried when the BBFC card emphasized 'strong violence' and 'gore'!) for them, but they really enjoyed it!

I do a decent amount of work prep on my phone when out & about, waiting for things, etc. & I wish Google Keep had that same format capabilities as Google Docs. I find the Keep app much more readily accessible but I'll nearly always just use a Google Doc now.
(Pics of isn't client work, just e.g.)
A phone screenshot of a Google Keep note which has a number of basic text entries. A phone screenshot of a Google Doc document which has a number of bullet point and sub bullet point text entries - some of the text is in bold, italics, underlined or a combination of these things.

I like this promo image for Fallout season 2 that imitates Anthrax's classic 1987 third record, Among the Living.

#Fallout #Anthrax #ThrashMetal #Scifi #horror
A poster for season 2 of the Fallout TV show with the Ghoul character among a group of ghouls dressed similarly like Elvis Presley. It imitates the cover art for the Anthrax album Among the Living. Painting by Don Brautigam for Anthrax's 'Among the Living' album. An eerie old man in dark clothes stands out from a dense, nearly identical crowd of young men surrounding him, waving his hat. The old man is slightly glowing, suggesting a sinister presence lurking among the living. The Anthrax band logo is in yellow at the top, the album title is at the bottom.
