New video's live and I may have a hangover so it'd really cheer me up if you checked out my thoughts on alien characters, what bothers me about some of them, my own struggles writing them and a lot of other stuff. youtu.be/GKLJhAOU2EU
something has always bothered me about "aliens" in fiction

Cracking illustration to win the challenge and a fascinating interview.

Lefty creatives go ask about joining in on the next challenge.
The winner of our 'Locked Out' themed challenge was the brilliant @afrocommie.bsky.social !

Come hear our interview with them, and hear their thoughts on art, creativity, 'Your Party,' and Milkshakes!

I did a 1bit pixel art challenge last month, 15 minutes a day. It was tough, I'm not 100% happy with it but it was mostly a learning experience.

I think the traffic cone and fire hydrant might be some of my best work tbh.

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health.

I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help.

Here is another piece from our radio play group, also written by me. Quite autobiographical, this one, so I hope you can listen to it.

Steve has introduced me to a ton of cool and inspiring concept art in his videos. I know that this one will be right up my street as well.
Hey All, new video on 'Howling At The Moon' by Jakub Rozalski is up.

Werewolves, Dieselpunk & Polish Patriotism abound as we examine the worldbuilding of one of the world's foremost concept artists, responsible for the art of boardgame Scythe, and video game 'Iron Harvest'.

It's WeCreateTogether challenge time!!!

The theme this time is "locked out" and the deadline is the 12th September!

The idea is that our members try to create something that matches the theme, and then vote on whose entry is the best :)

Feel free to have a go yourselves too!

Just some thoughts and frustrations on the recent shift in the way Palestine has been spoken about in the press/by politicians. Not comprehensive and a little bit of me just ranting, but I needed to get some of this off my chest. youtu.be/ICxTsR9IrYc
Why are journalists and politicians only speaking out on Palestine now? and some other frustrations

Reposting this poem from earlier in the year due to recent events. I've not come against the data farming check points yet but it all feels very watchtowery.
Visions of a better future OR Hanging curtains in the panopticon.

Hope isn't always easy for those of us on the left, but we owe it to each other to try. This poem has a couple of Easter eggs if you read it out loud, you'll find the names of 2 philosophers.
