Apparently my work is popping off over here... That’s cool… maybe I should put some effort into building up this space? Most of my followers are now bots or vacated altogether 😂 Thanks @NoTMax1E for sharing and crediting 🖤

Breaking the silence with a long overdue Timelapse of the “Even In Arcadia” battle illustration ⚔️ Originally created as exclusive festival posters for @DownloadFest + @rockamring, this artwork now makes its return as a Tee on the @sleep_token merch emporium.

Apple be like “let’s just put a blurry haze on everything and call it ‘glass’ in this update” Honestly feels like I’m having an eye exam every time I look the icons.

I’ve been very quiet, I also have a backlog of things to post. Now I’ve missed windows to do it strategically, I’m also ill and I’m also seeing Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle tomorrow… none of those things are related.

As a Brit, I’m somewhat unfamiliar with cracker barrel, but its logo debacle has sparked a lot of design talk. Does simple equal boring? Maybe? That’s debatable, but from a lot of use applications such as print, web, app icons, favicons, as well as accessibility, simple is key.

For clarification that’s Adobe Illustrator not THAT AI 😂

Some OC meme slop All I’m saying is that I officially want colour books back natively in AI without having to manually use Pantone connect… which isn’t even compatible in Photoshop on Silicon based Macs without launching in Rosetta. Can Pantone and Adobe just make up 🥲

Okay so we all know how AI is devastating the creative industry, but do you know what it’s ruined for me? Em dashes — I’m so worried that anything I type will look AI generated that I’m afraid to use them now. 😂 I find myself re-reading my text “does this look AI?”

Had a great time at @ATGFestival. Such a refreshing chilled out vibe compared to the stressful hustle and bustle of the festivals I’m used to. Hopefully can return next year! I didn’t take too many photos, but I took some videos here and there which I might post.

To anyone stressing about A level results, my college grades were D/E level, but I still got into uni, earned a Fine Art foundation degree and then a 2:1 in Graphic Design. Sometimes we fluke it, but we can recover. Also congrats to anyone who smashed theirs!

So I hear over on discord that people wanted to see the artwork for this 👀 Fresh from Tuesday’s Angel preorder drop, @unprocessedband bring the ARC†Angel† Sigil Tee and Angel poncho to @ATGFestival . The merch tent is open, so check it out, and don’t miss their set Saturday.

Found a style challenge thing I did around 10 years ago lol I can’t remember the last time I actually used a sketchbook. Maybe I could redo it in new styles…

Not related to anything, but if you use Duolingo and, like me, realise well after midnight “oh shit, I did not do Duolingo,” change your clock to a time zone that is behind. Thank you Honolulu for constantly saving my streak.

Even when I'm shopping for Gunpla stuff I get distracted if I see the pen testing table… the clerk asked what I was drawing and didn’t know Guyver so I went on a whole tangent attempting to summarise 😅

Manifesting the willpower and discipline to actually build these Gunpla instead of just admiring the boxes… Why do I keep starting new hobbies when my last hyperfixation is still unfinished 😭

Throwback to pre-working at AP days. I took on a very ambitious project for a friend’s (now-defunct) band in 2021 (the sketch stage of this video is really THAT old) which I abandoned several times due to release schedule changes and eventually was released in April 2023!

New tee for @EODMofficial ’s LA residency at the @TeragramLA. One design packed with references from every album. Grateful for yet another opportunity to work for the band! Which record do you spot first?
