before asking "how's that project going??" to any creative, just assume it's going like this

Mojuuls series of retrospectives on Ultima games are a real gem: youtu.be/KegyZSGhVMg?...

This finally arrived in the mail yesterday! Such great designs by Emerson, would love to play an RTS in this world.

3D-printed some mounts for attaching proper speaker terminals on my Sonab OA-12 speakers. No more DIN connectors 😊

Music Power up looks awesome, really like the vibes here. Can't wait to try it out! store.steampowered.com/app/2246370/...

Home workshop got an upgrade today, classic Ender 3 printer.

This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.

Just found the manual on how to make a JRPG.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Character Artist at Experiment 101! Excited to be working with my new team as well as my old boss and mentor Stefan Ljungqvist!

Finally pulled the trigger on Ghost of Yotei, looking forward to playing it as I really enjoyed Tsushima and it looks like an incremental upgrade in every sense.

We're really living in one of those parody movies from the early 2000s at this point.

How did I miss this great video until now? youtu.be/JWfD4geJm2Q?...

These mini consoles are just too cute not to buy..

Look what arrived in the mail this morning ♥️

youtu.be/bJYawnlOvgE Check this out, really excited about this one man production from my old colleague Mattias.

✨🎉IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! 🎉✨ And I've heard that's the day to ask for reposts of my art 👀❤️ I appreciate every one of you who follow me, comment, like and share what I do.❤️

Gossip girl themed party for my friend who's turning 40, with my better half 😊

Now this feels way better than it looks!

Hopefully last day with this thing on my foot, wish me luck at the physical therapist tomorrow.

Added F15 strike eagle to my microprose collection, still some classic titles missing here.

Based. Also, here is the run: youtu.be/ICK163zJF4E

Had to get one of these mini c64's, it's just too cute.

Back home with tendon stitched back up, time to get this recovery going! Have a feeling I'll want to throw this thing into mount doom when I'm done with it. 🔥

Alright, going under the knife today to get this Achilles thing fixed up right! Can't wait to start the healing process for real. Got a bunch of games lined up to play this weekend as I recover.

I hope the industry’s interest in creative risk-taking gets reignited. Franchises dominate AAA now with old ideas reheated and served again. Games were always about the new for me – new worlds to explore, new ways of playing to discover, new stories to experience. As a player and as a designer.

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!

Thought I was going to start rehab for my ankle, ended up at the emergency room too discover a partially ruptured Achilles.. looks like this will take a while to heal up fully.

Managed to pull my ankle in a fall during bouldering last week. 🙃 Been keeping off the foot for a week now and the swelling has gone down, next up trying to regain full mobility.

Buying more art books, hard to justify but very satisfying..

This marks the end of my first week back at Avalanche. It's been great returning to the studio where I first got started in the games industry. Things have changed quite a bit from the small team I joined back in 2005, with the company spread over three locations and working on multiple projects.

Finally got my hand on this Taschen gem

If you see this, post a skeleton.

Vile behavior.

Gave up on my old Sonos S1 system and got some Wiim streamers hooked up instead this week. They work a treat paired with some Fosi audio amps and pre-amps. So easy to set up, room calibration was a breeze and sounds great. Streaming on 5ghz wifi is fast and stable, couldn't be more pleased!

Been doing some UE explorations recently during my free time, this video really hits home: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwI_...

Spring cleaned my LinkedIn connections, gone are all recruiters/talent/head hunters.. Also anybody with AI anything in their title, and most with word salad titles several sentences long. 🤡 Back down to under 1k connections, most of them artists and programmers I’ve actually worked with.

So happy with the home office right now, great place to work and just upgraded with a walking threadmill to get some extra steps in during work.

Picked up these vintage Namco speakers recently, they have a really nice and warm sound to them. Should really get them on risers to better aim towards the listening position and get them off the floor.

Finally got my hand on the complete set of The Art of Star Wars. Was missing the Empire Strikes back but now I've got it. Love expanding my library of art and reference books.

Just finished Press Reset by @jasonschreier.bsky.social and found it a really great take on where we are in the industry with lots of interesting stories from the trenches of game development. Many good insights and sad stories of studio closures.

Had a great time holding a talk for the cg art students at Nord university in Levanger today. Did a little retrospective on my career thus far in the games industry as well as a live demo and a QnA session. Thanks to Nuria Martínez Francés and Pálma Karsai for arranging this workshop!

Early morning as I'm on my way up to Levanger, Norway to visit Nord university and their cg art and animation students. I'm holding a talk that's a retrospective on my career in the games industry, as well as doing a practical demo in Blender.
