An epic clash between Anglo-Saxons, Scots, and Irish Vikings in 937 AD changed the history of the British Isles. But where did it happen? Historians have spent over a century arguing over where the battle of Brunanburh might have taken place. Now it's my turn.

In a world of artificiality, embrace something real.
Touch it. It's there. No greenscreen, no AI.
By choosing to make something so obviously false - paint and pastels on a board - it's actually more real than the 'realistic' high tech.
And that's why what we do is so different.
