If you replace your entire workforce after each project, you’ll never grow the generational talent your studio could be known for. You’ll never be Disney, or Ghibli, or Nintendo.

The incredible and breath taking Tashkent Metro System in Uzbekistan. Started by the Soviets in the 70s. This is what Public Infrastructure could look like. Im posting more Uzbek images on my photo instagram over the next few weeks www.instagram.com/kellan_outsi...

This was the pinnacle of artist tools.

I couldn't be more excited to announce something I've been working on for a long time - Please welcome Belltower House Artist Residency, a multidisciplinary gift of time in my erstwhile home in southern New Mexico, now accepting applications for 2026. belltowerhouse.org

Really excellent piece digging into some of the development of Morrowind. I remember playing it as a teenager and being amazed not only at its strange world, but contradictory theologies and histories. It breathed a real life into the entire setting im not sure I’ve ever seen again in a game.

Good news, my studio is hiring for both a Lead Technical Artist and a Senior Rendering Engineer! The bad news is both these roles will likely subject you to me ranting about tonemapping. job-boards.greenhouse.io/cloudchamber... job-boards.greenhouse.io/cloudchamber...

Towerborne is out! I spent the last 4 years on this project. I feel very fortunate to have been part of such an amazing Env Team, we made some really cool stuff! Unfortunately most of us are now also looking for work =/ Anyway, I want to share my first ever Lighting Demo Reel! vimeo.com/1154964572

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.

Hey! My job at Moonshot got fragged last week and I am now looking for a new role making stylized Environment Art. Prior to this I was Lead Environment Artist on Overwatch 2, and shipped games with a small team at Torn Banner including Chivalry: Medieval Warfare www.artstation.com/lucasannunzi...

Hey game narrative designers, wanna work on something for Meow Wolf with Devon? Yeah. Yeah, I think you do.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Autumn’s Waning 🍂

There should be more games inspired by avant-garde stage design.

Rostlogi — "a Nord woman of no importance" — is a commoner living in Gnaar Mok. She can be found in her shack along with her 6 Barrels, 1 Basket, 1 Crate, and 7 Sacks.

Checked out @deadstaticdrive.com today - not sure I've seen something so immediately stylish and suffused with atmosphere in a long time! Very dreamlike experience so far...

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

With the release of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about the time we spent with it at HSL. The version put out by the Chinese Room looks really stunning and I’m excited to try it, and I’m so happy they brought their vision of it over the finish line... 1/3

Let's help those hurt by the halting of SNAP food aid benefits. We'll be collecting non-perishable food and encouraging folks to donate to the Rainier Valley Bank on Saturday, Nov 1 noon - 3 pm at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. DM me if you'd like to volunteer. cascadiademocratic.org/event/snap-t...

If you've ever faced food insecurity in the past: you know how it stays with you. Things are about to get tough for 40 million people. If you're in a place where you can donate some money (or TIME) to your local food bank, please be really intentional about it in November.

By December, Seattle taxpayers were paying a hefty $4,200 a month per empty room — at a time when thousands of Seattleites were without a roof over their heads.

Seattle Gamedevs! Let's do a COVID-safe (outdoors, masks encouraged) meetup next Tuesday, Aug 26th at 6pm at Tailwind Cafe in Capitol Hill! Tailwind closes at 7 but there are nearby places to grab food\drinks and bring to the courtyard. Public transit encouraged!

On that note, let's also *dive* in another favorite subject of mine: 💧 Water shaders 💧 Here's another behind-the-scenes 🧵 on the tech-art behind our water visuals in HERDLING:

My contract with Blizzard ends in September. If anyone needs a senior writer/narrative designer with 8 years of experience in AAA game development, I’m here!

Unfortunately I've been affected by the Xbox layoffs as well as numerous of my talented colleagues. I'm sad our hard work on Perfect Dark may be lost in the dark. I'm in the market for senior concept artist, lead concept artist and Art Director roles!

Today is my birthday! I just got laid off! 😆🎉 Anyway here is my work. lungjaw.com

my piece for @hieronzine.bsky.social

My contract runs out on the 25th, so I’ve got some time, but since this is a change of plans I’m looking to get stuff lined up ASAP. Thanks to everyone who has boosted, I really appreciate it! 🙏

Today was a tough day at PSVA. Myself a good amount of others were told we were being let go. It's sad for a lot of things, but mostly it's sad because he have to leave a team of such amazing people. If anyone is looking for Material or Environment art roles, preferably Senior, let me know!

With a lot feeling pretty bleak right now, throwing one of my favorite calm videos into the void. (I always return to this clip because its equal parts funny and makes me tear up every time). www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_u-...
