there's a standalone version that works like a game for those who don't own quake too!

Photographs by Liam Wong of Kyoto at night. An empty scene with traditional Japanese buildings lit up with soft street lights in warm orange colors. The image is mostly blue in color. A large overhanging tree can be seen in the middle of the frame. Photographs by Liam Wong of Kyoto in the early hours. Old wooden Japanese traditional buildings. The camera is capturing the scene from ground level, looking up - the blue sky is cut up by the silhouette of an overhead powerline. The image is a cold blue tone. Photographs by Liam Wong of Kyoto at night. A large stairway leading upwards next to an old wooden traditional Japanese building. The image is moody to emphasise the emptiness with brown and blue shades. Towards the top right of the image, the stairway ends and is lit up, with trees overhanging.

super thrilled to finally release Quake Brutalist Jam 3! an absolutely insane amount of work was put into this pack, so much so that we decided to put together a standalone release, no purchase of Quake required!

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

windows forced me to update to windows 11. immediately uninstalled copilot.
I'm just glad it happened today instead of yesterday. this would have ruined the qbj3 launch

while my mom was pregnant with me, she was delivering chinese food on bike in new orleans. i like to think that the music she heard in the streets made me the way i am now.

happy new year everyone!

this came to me in a dream
the classic "parental advisory: explicit content" sticker familiar from 90s-2000s album covers, but with "explicit normals", and a picture of a 3d model of a cube primitive with beveled corners and explicit vertex normals defined

Heyyyyy if you want to help a disabled artist & throw some loose change my way as a lil holiday treat I'd appreciate it for covering food & gas!

I'm still too much in a bad state to do comms or consistently draw so stuck on my £500 month budget

4 fav arts from 2025
drawing of wrestlers in a ring. one wearing white doing a cartwheel kick to another wearing red drawing of a giant blue mermaid woman greeting a human in a small boat. the human girl is trying to show the mermaid memes on her phone drawing of a woman in a leather jacket and yellow tights crashing her motorcycle through a window to attack a man with a knife, neon lights of the street below, glass falling drawing of a woman with long teal colored hair and a pink skirt with tattoos on her legs
