I thought I’d share the rough of the Slime Rancher 2 piece since there are some nice things I did in it and to show how I work when it comes to making illustrations.

Happy New year! Here’s to 2025 with some of the work I did for clients and exhibitions. I’ve still got work I can’t show yet but soon such as the illustrations I made for a book which is coming this year.

Not quite Christmassy but something that made me more optimistic for next year while looking at the images I’ve created in the past.

this is an illustration that was made for LostinCult’s Console Chronicles for an article about Animal Crossing

New work for Science Focus on an article about social anxiety and maybe there are other elements to it which affect people who suffer from public spaces.

Getting cold out there so here a shoutout to last year when I made this poster for Terror Twos.

For this poster I wanted to go with giving the feeling that the creature was thawing from its ice tomb.

New work this time for Noema Magazine on an article discussing the case for AI datarails to be put in place since there is an increasing need to regulate AI training data to prevent manipulative tendencies.

Here’s my piece for @kcuriostudio exhibition Kasecurio where artists make cover art on fictional games.

I went with making this trance psychedelic piece loosely based on video games Rez, lsd, wipeout and all the other visually weird and wonderful games from the 90s

Still working away on things, shame I didn’t have time to make something for Halloween so here is an illustration based on pinhead from Hellraiser from a spooky art show where I think there are still prints available of this at Gallery 1988

Since the Crazy 4 Cult art show is now live at Gallery 1988 I thought I’d show how this piece was constructed with Affinity Designer

I tend to work between computer and iPad with the iPad being used for touch ups and shading

This Friday is the opening of @galleries1988 Crazy 4 Cult with this piece being based on 80s flick Flight of the Navigator.

Influenced by old 80s cgi and video tape packaging I wanted to have this piece capture the feel of the time

Here’s a few old illustrations I made for both Wired UK and Japan for the Wired World 2023 annual where I illustrated the Technology section talking about ai and robotics

This was a fun brief to work on where it was my agent at Making Pictures that made this possible

Part of the Edge of the Eternities line this was such a fun card to work on and one I can’t wait to see players get it in their hands
