While developing Artful Escape, our 3D artist Mikey, made an oven asset. It was a nice oven - the work of a true pro. He even put the knobs on. And that’s who we are at Beethoven & Dinosaur. We put the knobs on. Mixtape is almost complete, we’re just putting the knobs on. See you in 2026.

- Attended another wedding
- Flew back to Melbourne

Make sure to snap up Andrew for all your tech art needs!
I’ll be looking for remote work opportunities (not looking to leave Hobart any time soon!). I’ll update my portfolio with content from Malys soon but for my previous projects you can still see them at andrewmendlik.com #techart #gamedev

Sarah is incredibly talented, considerate, skilled, and a joy to work with. If any team is looking for someone to do wonders with any 2D or 3D #rigging work, do not hesitate to reach out to Sarah
Seven years as a florist before game dev didn't at all prepare me for this!💐
I got to help with some rigging for The Florist recently and its been so great!
(Shared Layne's post cause any chance to shout out one of the most talented and thoughtful devs I've ever worked with!)

Give it a wishlist!
I have been working on The Florist, a Survival Horror game with flowers and beauty at the forefront. This is a super cool project made by a really excellent team who is putting everything into this game. It would mean a lot if you could wishlist it here:

PREVIEW // Mixtape

"I’m controlling two slimy, pink tongues as they plunge into each other’s mouths. They dance around in languid circles, like a load of sopping wet clothing in a front loader...This is Mixtape."

It was a real pleasure to preview Mixtape for Blunt magazine! I truly loved what I played. bluntmag.com.au/features/mix...
Mixtape Preview & Interview: Peak 90s Nostalgia
Mixtape is a deeply nostalgic game, even for those who didn't grow up skating the streets of 90s America listening to Devo.

One of my first stops in Perth is always getting Hoodburger's tender mash and gravy burger. Fried chicken, mashed potato, gravy, cheese, perfection👌

Seems like a bad time to post this but is there ever a good time?

Just putting it out there that my current contract ends in the middle of November and I'll once again be looking for work as a character rigger/technical artist in games. I have a wealth of experience. 13+ years. Remote only please❤️

Last week I gave a talk on freelancing to CG Spectrum's Gamechanger Academy class as part of their 'Good to Great' program. We went through how to become a freelancer, it's requirements, how to set fair rates, all the good stuff

Oh hey, a little sneak peek 👀
Scorn caught you looking.

(He's naked of his VFX, be nice to him).
