My contract with Rovio has come to an end a little shorter than anticipated, it's been an absolutely thrilling time working on Sonic Rumble for the past 1.5 years 💙

Good board today! Lots of vowels. I learned this word at a party last night when I met someone who does it. Do reinsurers get insurance? What’s that called?

Would love to see more coverage on how the recent industry turbulence has really sent us backwards in the diversity process we’d made in the years leading up to the layoffs. Whether forming new studios or hiring someone for the ultra competitive open roles, who do you think is getting tagged in?
Delighted to see this piece up! Massive thank you to all the women who shared their experience with me for this 🖤

Have always been drawn to aesthetic environments. Making my room a rainforest. Creating a box city for my beanie babies. Making a lore book for the universe in my head. Used to do loads of fashion design as well. Writing poems and stories.Then getting into renfaires and fantasy balls for immersion
With all this awful news going on i wanna ask this question once again to fellow artists and general creatives. What got YOU into art? what sparked that motivation to start writing? what made you wanna pick up a camera and start taking pics? Like share with us your reasons.
