It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

Please do check out this portoflio, insane stuff. Especially the retro-esk video game prototypes and interpretations of existing IPs.
Senior illustrator, with 20 years of experience and a specialty in game art.
I haven't been able to find a paying project for months. Can you help? Every share is appreciated.

Beautiful film! Reminded me of the art of Núria Tamarit, although very different. "The polar wolf" is a story about trust, abuse of power, friendship, nature and humanity, told with a focus on strong female characters – and a cute doggy. It's wort a read.

I am following this project since it's first original announcement back in 2012. Super hyped for it's upcoming release and can't wait to dive into this issue while anticipating the game. Ordered my copy. 😍

I had the incredible honor of learning from the master Shūichi Kusamori (Grave of the Fireflies, GitS 1&2, Samurai Champloo etc), himself by attending his first workshop in person. He is obsessed with details and has a preference for dark & dirty subjects. I can relate to that. First time gouache:

In the '70s, Hayao Miyazaki tried to revive the cartoons of his youth. And he kept mentioning Fleischer's Mr. Bug Goes to Town.
He loved its animation and use of "space," and the physical way its characters navigate its world. We look into the story:

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Art swap with the super kind and talented Jared Muralt. We met at comic festival Munich and got along right away. Can't wait to dive into "The Fall".
If you like Moebius, Tintin, The Last of Us, socially critical, realistic end-time scenarios and Switzerland, this might be something for you, too. 😍

Look what came in the mail today: The Fifth Ace! I love it! This means a lot to me, as it reminds me of the unforgettable time in LA, the Game Awards, our reveal trailer, and my work on it. Thanks for signing, @crowwkui.bsky.social! and to Ops and Nucleus, who made it all possible for the dogs. 🙏❤️🐾
