Recently made fresh edits to my creative manifesto, which I'm hoping to do maybe twice a year. It's satisfying to have a document like this to return to once in a while.

It's a good practice to state what we believe from time to time.

Monochrome Heights is now available for PC! Anyone who likes tricky platformers should take a look

Besides the cover art & logo, I made the in-game character portraits (over 100!) and concept art for some of the cutscene backgrounds. What a joy to see it all as a part of the final product

It's happening, Monochrome Heights has a release date! And it's coming soon!

Did some printing on textiles recently. Small batch stuff to try things out!

I've done it! Prints for the whole 5-entry series are now online

I went back to this image from 5+ years ago (!!) for some light touch-up. A fun little illustration. I like its youthful imperfect vibes. When are you ready for adventure? The moment you set out, of course!

Finally giving bsky lists a try. Great so far, wish I had thought of it sooner!

Here's the development material for the concept / vibes series. I'm happy with how the final pieces came out, but I still like these sketches, too!

It's been very rainy today. Reminded me of this piece from lockdown

It took some doing, but I am now officially locked and loaded for Switch 2: The Sequel™ 😎

The first in my concept / vibes illustration series for a personal project in development.

I’ve spent loads of time iterating on designs in the past. For this series I wanted to explore a range of gut-feeling aesthetics relevant to the project.

(I'll make this a 🧵 for the series, more soon)

I'm glad bsky is a fresh start for so many people. I guess it is for me, too. I just don't know what that looks like in my case.

I've added a manifesto to my website! I've been wringing my hands about what to do with it for weeks, but now that it's there it feels like, pretty normal and not a big deal. Anyway, have a look if you're curious!

Hey there! I'm Tyson. I love characters, stories, games, and helping people with their creative projects. Give me a shout if you'd like to work together!

New illo series is up on my website! This one is all fun dreamy vignettes

More from the upcoming indie game Monochrome Heights. I was tasked with making expressive in-game portraits for the pre-existing robot cast for use during cutscenes. That's right, expressive robots! Robots without eyebrows or mouths! (1/4)

A closeup from my cover art for the video game Monochrome Heights. This is the lead character, Happy, a robot who has to climb a huge tower full of hazards! I didn't design him, but it was up to me to translate his purely pixelated form into a more fully illustrative style. It was a fun challenge!

I’ve been contributing art to the in-development video game Monochrome Heights on and off since last year. It's been fun! I’m excited to show my work and discuss a bit about the process on my website.
