They really do... I am a (bad) 3D modeller/printer, hopefully improving DM, Father, Stepfather, Husband, Son, Brother - I follow people who say interesting things or make models that make me jealous, and block the uninteresting, unpleasant or irritating.

Do you like cars, retro games, and sci-fi? Do you drink tea or coffee? Do you wear t-shirts? Do you put art on your walls?

GOOD NEWS!

I have a range of UK-produced, high-quality merch that may be right up your street. Available (almost) worldwide.

Well, I've paid back almost half the machine, but no activity in the last 6 days.

Any help is appreciated.

It's a really financially tough time of year for people, especially those that fronted me this replacement computer.

Reposting helps! Thanks!

Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

A couple of you have already ordered some prints, which I really appreciate. Thank you. All profits are going towards the Probe restoration next year, so every little helps.

Anyone ordering anything between now and the end of December will also be entered in a prize draw. Detail to come!
I finally got my online print store up and running. Initially there are a number of prints available, covering motorsport, road cars, geeky stuff and nature.

Soon much more will be added including t-shirts and mugs.

Let me know what you'd like to see!

We have an immediate need for an RPG proofreader. This is a paid gig, proofing just over 11,000 words. Experience is preferred.

Please email [email protected] with your resume and rate. If you don't have a set rate that's fine - we can talk.

Please feel free to share, tag and recommend.

Well, there we go.

As of today, I am officially unemployed. Money is not a problem for a year or so, and I feel fine.

More time for modelling and learning stuff 🙂

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

Once upon a time, I created an alien race who resembled imposing marsupial bipedal saurians. They had a meritocratic culture based on knowledge and facts (the more you knew, the higher your status), but because of their different atmosphere they also sounded like they were on helium...1/2

Today is the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street. You’re familiar with it by now, of course, but... well, it never hurts to be reminded, does it?

Also, needs saying again that @mrjalco.bsky.social's work on the covers for Fermi's Wake has been unbelievably beautiful. Not only has he created some awe inspiring exploding planets, he's also redrawn the Fermi from scratch making her look even more foreboding-yet-shonky than before.

I'll be quiet today - I will be dragging my arse across London to the office for the second-to-last time, primarily so my boss can buy me drinks. Then I have to do the same thing next Friday...
