"Survival Kit for the Information Age."

Electronic organizers and early PDAs continue to be fascinating to me, and this is one of the more unusual hybrids: The debut OZ-7000 model, expandable via 'IC Cards', each with specific functions, memory storage, and touch-sensitive overlays.

A magazine ad for the OZ-7000 with its sleek folio type design and calculator style buttons and a small green LCD. IC cards flow to it to be slotted in.

Can you smell what Lost In Cult's COOKIN'!? 🍖

Lukasz Kowalczuk @elkowalczuk.bsky.social · 1d

I love the smell of package from @lostincult.co.uk in the morning. I did shitload of illustrations for Do You Know Gaming. It looks amazing. The Console Chronicles looks great. Thanks!

“Marissa Marcel was a film star. She made three movies. But none of the movies were ever released. And Marissa Marcel disappeared.”

Finally got some of the extra goodies framed from @lostincult.co.uk’s Immortality Design Works. An extremely special game and an experience playing I’ll never forget.

I'll make another post but reminder that I'm looking for work! I did pretty okay last year, but didn't really feel like it because a bunch of gigs paid late/barely on time which had a real knock-on effect, and this year's been very slow

hi #PortfolioDay - available to make otherworldly work from 2025.
TTRPGs, board games, more vinyl covers and concept + visdev stuff for games/film/tv would be cool!

illustration for Haunted Table's Triangle Agency adventure 'rom dump' - of adventurers zapping out of a barn window - a horned cyclops witha book of spells, a protagonise-looking goblin girl, a blue demon with some kind of spirit mace. A grim reaper hovers in front of the crescent moon.

Illustrated cover to the monkey man soundtrack vinyl. The monkey god hanuman opens his ribcage out, behind Dev patel's head. Hanuman's tail is a flaming circle that frames the figures, which dev patel graps. There's flame, blood, fleshy vomit.

the busts of two figures, one looks in pain, as they're having their vocal cords yanked from a hole in their throat by the other, who clutches them in a bunch with their furthest hand. With their other hand they concentratedly use a stringed instrument bow on the vocal cords. A rainbow bridges the heads, and is dotted with fantastical music notation. Their busts rest above a small basin.

a dark starry background, and a blue room where a bed sit next to windows looking out to the night sky. Psyche lies naked on a patterned bedframe amongst plants, her white hair arching around to the foot of the bed. She looks in wonder at Cupid - who is illuminated by the three candles she holds up. Cupid appears as a fleshy mass, strung within a halo, from which arrows eminate haphazardly.

Incredible stuff 👏👏👏

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I made this poster in anticipation of the game shipping and I’m still proud of ‘Prepare to Buy’ as a tagline, I haven’t looked into it at all in the slightest but feel totally confident in saying that I came up with this first.

Myself, @elkowalczuk.bsky.social and Juan Pez worked on the illustrations alongside @nijimaw.bsky.social on the design.

Tons of cards, tons of artwork and tons of questions, we went all out on this one.

Got my copy of Lock-On Volume 6, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. What an incredible volume, and I cannot say how thankful I am to have a piece in this next to so many inspiring writers and artists.

So thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the incredibly talented @maxprentisvisual.bsky.social on this amazing cover for @lostincult.co.uk latest, 'Mouthwashing: Design Works'

The cover wraps around to the reverse cover where you will see Daisuke, Swansea and...a cute cartoon pony :)

An image of Curly from the PC game Mouthwashing looms over Jimmy and Anya, his eyball bulging from beneath his surgical gauze
