Our Amsterdam/NL D&D league just had its launch event yesterday and it was such a success 🥹 Seven tables, such great people, such a good time. #dnd #ttrpg

This is amazing youtu.be/6QOUNvMX-ws?...

Brush experiments that accidentally turned monotype-y.

New procreate brushes are fucking with my brain in the best of ways. #illustration #art

Sloppy doodles bring me life.

GM Tip: As someone who lives in a place with lots of large fauna, it's not the predators you need to worry the most about. Your average bear or cougar or wolf or rattlesnake DNGAF about you unless you mess with them or they're starving. Moose and elk though? They will start shit for... 1/2 #TTRPG

I turn on do not disturb to focus on my creative work. I ask my clients to email instead of text. I try to create a nice workflow. All my Adobe apps give me CEASELESS popups and notifications about things that have nothing to do with how I work. Fuck that noise.

Google Meet have conflicts decide which meeting is more important

Some days, I remember that sketching by hand unlocks so many better ideas than jumping straight into illustrator/indesign/photoshop. I want to remember this every time 🥲

Not all that excited about how many games now feature base building of some kind. I design things all day, please give me a break 🥲

For when you want the world to know… #graphicdesign #concept #typography

I keep thinking I want to read more and more of The Creative Act by Rick Rubin, fast and ferociously, but I need to pause and reflect after so many of these amazing short essays. Highly recommend for those who need a shift in perspective on their creative making. sites.prh.com/thecreativeact

I entered a rabbit hole of making bad merch. This one’s based on a real reaction from a coworker upon finding out i was gay (back in 2011). #graphicdesign #concept #creativeprocess

A thought I had to make into a thing.

Do you want to know the biggest secret pain of being a designer? It's the lack of Roman hanging punctuation everywhere 🥲

Just gonna post this one everywhere because it's cute. Not that Jeffrey was actually enjoying the boat ride, but still.

I was haunted by graphic design even in the woods of northern Sweden.

Back to work! Weirdly not even mad about it!

In my homeland feeling weird! I really love not living in Sweden.

A big perk of creating your own ttrpg setting is that you can just decide that winter doesn’t exist there 💅

It is heartwarming (and so, so wild) to see my identity concept for Amsterdam Pride come alive across so many channels. Here’s a bit of central station!

Next Thursday, @wacomatrixo.bsky.social and I are hopping on a Zoom call to talk creative process, concepts, things! You are invited to listen in, ask questions, or simply relax to two nice guys having a chill screenside chat. Sign up: linktr.ee/studiootherwise ✨ See you next Thursday!

...and a riso color combo test I should probably print! #riso #risography

Been experimenting and it brings me joy.

The pain I feel when people say they design in photoshop... I DO use it for my designs when I want specific effects (like my signature ink bleed) but damn. Please stop doing type layouts in photoshop.

Testing stuff! #typography #graphicdesign

Went to the countryside, which is always equal parts lovely and a reminder of all the feelings in the hometown I was so desperate to leave.

Just launched Studio Hour, a creative phone call with an audience. It was such fun! I recommend a listen if you’re interested in branding, being a solo creative studio, and/or nice people having a nice chat ❤️ youtu.be/tLEdpexO3eE?...

Maybe the real reason I like working in identity design is that I really don't like working. With identity design, you have so many little touch points you can address a little bit whenever, meaning you can follow the energy of the day. To an extent. 1/2

A while back, I made a void to scream into anonymously. Share your creative anger here and I might turn it into a little quote post! www.studiootherwise.com/the-void

It is wild to me that brand designers will go out there and recommend you don’t need more than 2-3 logos for your brand. You don’t need a single logo. #branding

Oops I updated my website again and this time I'm happier with the clarity about what I actually DO. www.studiootherwise.com

current vibe

Riso print color tests, I'm only going to print one and it's very hard to choose 🫠 I may have a favorite but posting feels like a part of the selection process. #riso #risoprinting #risograph

Look at him. Having one friend with a Hero Forge subscription and another friend with a 3D printer is going to be dangerous. This is my halfling sorcerer Loranga Mazarin. He likes crime. Crime is life. I blame @interqualia.bsky.social

A space ship that I drew by doodling a while ago when I was feeling down but relaxed. Thanks to @ebsnakebones.bsky.social for reminding me of it.

Been going back to my roots recently. My roots: overdoing photoshop filters. #graphicdesign

Running an in-game wedding in D&D tonight! What even is my life?

Made myself a new Anti Protestant Work Ethic wallpaper with my new daily to-do list that includes no real to-dos but rather nice things that could be cool to do any day.

Another island, I love making these. Almost everything I do is set up for riso printing, it's just a matter of getting to the studio 😅 #illustration #riso #risography #risoprinting

This is beautiful. Take a moment out of your day to experience it.

Hot take: I wish software companies would explain things in blog posts instead of in long-ass videos.

I hated moodboards until I came up with my own way of co-creating them with clients. This is the method: www.linkedin.com/pulse/moodbo... #brandidentity #visualidentity #moodboard

On an island. #art #illustration

A career highlight is happening right now: Pride Amsterdam is beginning to use this year's visual identity based on my concept. It's very simple and straightforward, and yeah, I'm proud of it. #pride #visualidentity

Really been going for the rocky art the past two weeks. Will definitely riso print these in some form. #illustration #riso

Started painting the weird goat critter.

Stones. #procreate #illustration

Creative acts of the week: – Made a one-page visual identity reference doc for a solo entrepreneur client. – Animated not one but TWO mini illus. – Leaned into mustache mode. And now I'm off to a birthday weekend! (I will be painting our kitchen walls, I'm such a party boi)
