Revel in riches, b*tches 🤘. Need to check it in daylight, but this card is done! The original is on the left, and on the right is my painted version. Cheeky seagull

I made this sci-fi puppetry 60s pastiche. CGI, almost completely physics-animated. Love letter to things like Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5, Space Patrol, and watching foreign television only to lose it forever afterwards youtu.be/ME7SVM7bwKU?si=jUYR6APY28kPCUqk

Getting started on 2 new MtG cards. Blocked out the borders, base layer colour match and making plans for the extended art. This is fuuuun!

My 2nd border extension. Pretty stoked with the colour match on the left side, fucked up quite a few things on the right. After I finished this card I ran to the shops to get smaller brushes 😅

I really wanted to do a linocut. So, I've created this fun party (g)raveyard using several medieval woodcuts. Needs a few touch-ups and then it's ready to cut 🤘

'Tis the season... to stay indoors and read! This book was a pleasant surprise, I loved it. I would never have picked it up, but my book club made me read it. If you like humour and gore, this is your book. You'll learn 25 new creative ways to describe a dismembered testicle for example 👍

We have a department at work called the HU Grant Office and yes, I sent an email this week calling it the *Hugh Grant Office*, not noticing it until after I had sent it to a group of people...
