A real honour to have been asked to provide the illustrations for this new edition. It’s as fantastic as you’d expect but ‘Ogres’ in particular blew my mind (and made me want to start a revolution)
I think this is now the most beautiful book I own. Yes, it’s Adrian’s text (as good as ever) and Anderida did amazing work here, from typography to binding, etc. but my lord, Ian McQue’s art goes f-ing hard.

Xenovember day 10! I always kinda felt like Aliens, for everyone’s pissing and moaning about Hicks and Newt taking dirt naps at the start of Alien 3, committed the bigger sin by reducing the alien to cannon fodder. That said, blowing up this one is was fun…

Does anyone have any good album recommendations? No-skip, listen to in full, on repeat ones?
Doesn't have to be new

I am working on such a beautiful indie games project at the moment - it's really helped me to fall back in love with drawing again <3

The art vs the artist's hands 👉👈

A little while ago someone told me I had hands that look like they should be holding a sword and I have been living off it ever since ⚔️

Notice that @aptshadow.bsky.social ’s Children of Time is 99p on kindle in the UK. If you have any interest in SF and haven’t read it, this is a no-brainer.

Having a baby is really hard, but then having a 4 year old is like, yes I will play Sylvanian families all day with you. Hell yes.

Show me how you draw/paint snow ❄️

Honestly one of my favourite types of environment to paint! The first image is actually a set of videogame environment assets that I put together for a demo level

Xenovember day 4! This was my first Aliens cover, reuniting me with my Defiance Colorist, Dan Jackson. This one’s special for me because not only was it a return to Alien, but it would later be used as booth and lanyard #art at SDCC to represent the brand.

Been a while, but here's a little commission I had to draw a boxing dragonborn with my own Dragonborn (he's had a little redesign, but I definitely need to tidy it up) What do you think? :)

Cover for THE TRIDENT AND THE PEARL -- upcoming romantasy book by Sarah K. L. Wilson.

Really proud of this one, especially of all the water caustics. And it's always a joy to work with Sarah!

I was lucky enough to land a part time job when I got made redundant last year and it's been my saving grace while re-establishing a freelance career.
Those two days a week I perform a role that has nothing to do with art that gives me mental downtime and confidence in my other skills.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on
