I'd love to be considered for any London-based positions as well (early remote/freelance start would be great!) 🇬🇧
I'm looking for full-time work in Melbourne 🇦🇺 (fast remote start possible).

I provide
- 2D game art: stylised concepts, visual development, illustrations, motion graphics, icons & painterly UI
- Art direction, art management

Happy to do tests or freelance work. 💕

My favourite part of the Electric Dreams exhibition at the Tate is Suzanne Treister's "Fictional Videogame Stills" that she made on an Amiga 1000 in the early 90s.
We only have them now because she took photographs of her art on the screen back then - the original Amiga discs have corrupted!

There’ll be a Lighting artist meet-up at #GDC today! 1pm, in front of the Yerba Buena waterfalls.

A bit of a late announcement, but I’ll be at GDC this year as part of the Pixelles Ensemble! 💜 Feel free to message me if you’re there and you’d like to meet-up and chat. (especially if it’s art/lighting/cinematography)

Just read a silly take on ray tracing not being noticeable.

Nah

Piss on something other than lighting if you want to talk about marginally meaningful art/tech improvements in games.

Lighting is one of the most powerful levers around to make something feel quality regardless of level of detail.

Bit of an animated look at my current personal project. The base is there now and now it’s all details and graphics work left to do but that is the bulk of the work for me but also the bit I enjoy the most.

Throwback to this incredible light installation that happened in a giant London warehouse last year. By artist 404zero.

It’s my dream to transform a space with a light installation one day
