My cool uncle gave me a copy of Photoshop 5 in 2000, and I've used it ever since. Here are two of the MANY pics I made with the classic Difference Clouds in 2003. My big brother also programmed plasma demos in QBasic in 1999 (third image) while trying to teach me what a "variable" was. Hours of fun!

A computer-generated image of a swirly cloudy background, mostly consisting of black and dark blue colors.

A computer-generated image that resembles branching bolts of lightning in yellow and red colors.

A computer-generated image of the word "Cool" on a cloudy black and red background. The colors are highly saturated and contrasted. This was commonly called a "plasma demo" in 1999.

Still making Quake textures. This texture pack is getting huge

Four digitally created textures for the game Quake. There's a wooden door, a steel door inlaid with blue wood, a murky and mossy wooden plank floor, and a grey marble foor.

I was going to get started on my next Quake level, but I can't stop making all these textures

A large amount of digitally created wall textures for the game Quake. The image has been reduced in size, resulting in some blurriness.

Making some more stained glass windows for my Quake texture pack. Like the original textures I used for inspiration, they are blurred to give the impression that the glass is thick and back-lit.

A number of digitally created images depicting stained glass windows in bright colors.

Working on a Quake 1 texture pack, right now trying to make stained glass in the style of the original id textures. Here are my efforts so far...

A series of six digitally created images. The five leftmost images show the creation process of a stained glass window. The window depicts a highly stylized landscape. The rightmost image is a stained glass window texture from Quake (by id software 1996).

I made a little shop song for a work-in-progress game by @regnsloja.bsky.social! Please play the video to have a listen.

Part of it references a song from a Swedish comedy series from 1986 ("Privat" from Macken by Galenskaparna). The game and graphics are by Regnslöja!

A stylized image of a landscape featuring the night sky and a road leading into the distance. In the distance is a small town near the ocean and a golden tower among the mountains. Close to the viewer is a large tree and a man in blue robes sitting on a rock. He has a tome and quill in hand.

I made another car for Gaslands, a Mad Max-style board game with modified toy cars. This heavy truck is called "Harvester" and was modified with assorted scrap, then painted over. The swiveling harpoon turret was made from LEGOs, chains and cardboard, and is attached with a tiny magnet.

EGA firedemo for Tower of Gold using a 2D array. Each frame, every third pixel copies a random pixel from the three below it. Intensity decreases with height but may randomly increase instead. Bottom rows are drawn with reduced strength; the brightest pixels are drawn as 2x2 white squares.
