Reboot

Not my best patch, but maybe my most successful use of chaos (not randomness) to date. It never repeats, just follows its own logic, getting stuck in weird states for minutes at a time before falling back out. My favorite part is when Braids makes the weird baby sounds. #modularsynth #eurorack

I can't believe it, but The NoGood Book is DONE! 🥳 I'll call the printer on Monday and tell them that it's ready to go!

When you self-publish and fill mail orders yourself, you get to see who is buying your publications. Something that never stops feeling great is seeing when other artists you admire order your work—particularly when you didn't know they were interested. It's a reason to be involved in distribution.

Checkout the new collected work page on the site. I also added a sketchbook page, which I still need to add more sketches to 😅

I find it kinda cool, and I'm kinda proud, that I got to illustrate 5 spreads for Red Bull's Gamepop magazine last summer. And then, they made it even cooler by adding a playable, paper thin Tetris game on the cover...

WIP from a really cool project that didn't make it in the end

How AI damaged a friendship. This was probably the toughest decision I made during the production of my book—asking a friend to write the preface, and choosing not to use it after I recognised AI in his writing. In the end, it didn't damage our friendship. It strengthened it.

Trying out a bright green opener for nogood.studio for a bit 🍏

The NoGood Book is currently being typeset. Besides writing and editting, it's the only part of the production process I can't do myself. When typesetting is done, there's nothing more to do and it's off to the printer!
