One of my challenges to myself for the new year was to start making Youtube videos about game design...and I'm happy to say my very first 'properly edited' video is now live on my channel, talking about some tips getting started designing a game in 2025.

If the Depp-Heard fiasco didn't, the Blake Lively smear campaign should drive home an important media literacy lesson that I'm afraid many are missing: when it seems like everybody is suddenly talking about something, consider the possibility that the viral moment was engineered.

Came up with a new game idea/prototype this morning, just using 2 decks of playing cards to test the idea and it works! I played multiple games of it with my mum and we both enjoyed it. I love it when a game concept works in early iterations!

I’m always thrilled when collectors tag me in or send me photos of my work hanging in their spaces.
If you have any of my art in your space feel free to tag me or send me photos! It really means a lot to me :-)
If you want a print of my art just send me a message and I’ll get you a quote.

@timmiller.bsky.social just saw the chat you and @jonfavs.bsky.social had, and you mention surprise at the polls on the approval for the assassination skewed younger. One thought is, could survivorship bias also be a factor? Older people most negatively affected simply aren’t around to anymore

Over the weekend, our breakout hit City of Six Moons - which has been out less than six months! - became our second best-selling game ever. It's within a few hundred copies of Table Battles, which got to where it is over the course of EIGHT YEARS of strong sales.

Picked up prints of a recent painting of mine as a friend had ordered one. These are poor photos taken in my car with the print in plastic but I am floored by how good they look, by how much it pops and looks like actual paint. Super happy!
