I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

I solved the 'it's still the Year of the Snake, but everyone thinks it's Year of the Horse' problem. It's now the month of the Snorse. #sygnin

Moving here from my twitter due to recent updates on that platform. Too bad really I hope people here can enjoy my art tho! #art #FFXIV

Summertide [ #ffxiv | #aymeric | #ff14 ]

I started a new freelance contract UI/UX gig today! It's all going well so far, and I'm happy and excited. However, adjusting to a new schedule has my poor brain all kinds of confused.

"But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. [...]" "...There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."

Reposting because I've had my eye on this book, and would love to be able to actually read it! Unbound screwed over so many authors who have written interesting, unique works like this. Hoping it finds a new home. 🤞

I made my catboy OC from 2003 (drawn here in 2013) into my WoL in FFXIV. I am cringe, but I am free! ✨😺 #FFXIV #art #OCSky

Because I guess it requires repeating - we kiss robots here, but that does NOT include genAI and LLMs. They are not sentient, they are not real intelligence. They are built upon the stolen work of generations of passion and skill, and the exploitation of poor communities and the environment.

🥺

Just in case anyone out there feels like they shouldn’t post art - please do. The constant bullshit from the news is difficult but we can’t allow all of that to stop us from making art and sharing it. That’s all I have to say rn - am planning to enjoy the rest of my weekend working on sketches.

Okay, yeah, placing first in a Pokemon Z-A ranked battle just now did lift my spirits a little. It's a temporary numbing, I'm still awake to the cruelties of the world, but I'll take all the precious dopamine I can get. ❤️

2026 day 3. I'm still on break before I start new contract work next week, and I'm already so tired of this year. 🥲

Good riddance to MTV… never forget this iconic interview with Bowie. youtu.be/vPFI930A3xw?...

Art's all just coming out a little stiff lately. 😮‍💨 I'm trying to loosen up with some more dynamic compositions to see if that helps.

2026 is going to be my year and that is a threat (I listened to Hopes and Dreams on repeat making this)

This is true, the ripple effect can be felt throughout both the nation and the world! I do not live in NYC; I grew up, in part, within commute distance to London, then immigrated to the US with my family to the greater San Francisco Bay Area as a teen. Political shifts are global and interconnected.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

"Our Ishgardian armoursmiths came up with a new armour design protecting against the typical injuries sustained by dragoons returning from battles against the Dravanian horde."

its... happy new year...

A G’raha to end the year! #ffxiv

Year of the horse is underway! Happy 2026 🍎 I hope this is a better year for all of us.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Sooo hard to pick just one! Music videos captivated my brain as a child because they're a great way to tell a short story, especially in animation! Currently, my fave is probably "My Way" by SIAMÉS. youtu.be/Z9ZlS7i2Xvc
