Overwhelmed by all the responses, ty and sorry if I can't reply to everyone! To be clear, this was a knee jerk reaction - I'm not sure yet what can be done bc it's official D&D artwork, maybe it falls under "fair use"?? (As lame as that headline might be) Idk. Rest assured I'll look into it tho

Time to invoice the telegraph for using my illustration, I guess

I'm in a pack 💛 and in GREAT company too

I can finally say BUUZA!! is going to be PUBLISHED BY ABRAMS BOOKS! I've had to keep this under wraps for SO LONG, but the Pre-Order links went up today, so it's official!! BUUZA!! Vol. 1: Good Morning Salwa will be available in the USA on 14th April 2026! www.abramsbooks.com/product/good...

Note to self

more concept art!

Some favourite sketches from a life drawing session with the lovely @davidieuan.bsky.social, from before I left London. Should I start a thread with all my life drawing, or do people prefer separate posts? What's the consensus here? #art #lifedrawing

New one for @magic.wizards.com and it MOVES! SO happy to be a tiny part of the Edge of Eternities release! Full illustration coming soon 🌌

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

This is so wild

First art in 2025, hope there will be much more (⁠*⁠ﾉ⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♫

If you've got a Bearscape or a Collective Voyage that you've always wanted to have signed - I'm joining forces with @mountainmagesigs.com to make it happen 💛 #mtg

QRP with something watery 🌊

So these guys kept me going for hundreds of hours while working (specially during the pandemic), helped me learn a game I love, have made me feel many feels. Then I was asked me to do a t-shirt for them, got a shout out from Laura Bailey, and I can't get over it. 💛 @criticalrole.bsky.social

This is a friendly reminder that even if you can't support an artist you love through monetary means, your retweets have a MASSIVE amount of power here on Bluesky. Since there's no algorithm, every RT you give makes a post more visible to others!

I got the D&D graphic novel as a Christmas present for my little cousin, obviously I had to read it for *cough* quality control... it's so utterly charming, amazing job by @xanthe.bsky.social and @mollyostertag.bsky.social 👏

Introduce yourself with four video games (I JUST played Outer Wilds and it immediately shot up to "wow this might have changed my life")

Hey everyone!

This is usually organised on Instagram, but posting here! I'm doing portfolio reviews this Friday morning aimed at people from marginalised/underrepresented communities. I have a couple of slots left, link for details! www.instagram.com/p/DC1f_-eKtN...

I don't open instagram to check my notifications, I open instagram to look at the latest Wicked press tour memes
