Illustration of 20ish characters from the game, Final Fantasy Tactics. They're all marching to the left on a plain yellow background and each generic class is represented. Ramza is leading the way on the back of a chocobo.

Since @spoke-art.com now has their whole LEVEL UP show online, I figured it’s safe to share the entire piece I contributed. Final Fantasy Tactics is now one of my all time fave games. I just love a game about clothes, you know?

I've 3D scanned a keshi figure depicting Galoomba, one of seven Super Mario World figures included in Epoch's "Super Mario World Mario's Lucky Coin" (スーパーマリオワールド マリオのラッキーコイン) coin pusher toy.

A couple of my favourite details from the Pokémon piece I’ve been sharing.

Here's a small portion of an animated bumper I made to promote a video game from @owlcatgames.bsky.social (Blind Descent). Seeing the latest advances in generative AI and how they've invaded space, I feel lucky to have at least produced this little piece from start to finish 🥲.

A little behind-the-scenes for the customizable Pokémon piece I did.

You can customize gender, hair, skin, and starter!

A closer look at What Hat is That?

If you DO end up picking up a copy, please consider leaving a review as it really helps publishers know what sorts of books (and what artists) to go back to in the future!

Illustration of Grover from Sesame street with a speech bubble that says, "Hello everybody! It is I, your cute and adorable pal, Grover!"

The book, What Hat is That? on a blue background. The cover features Grover from Sesame Street looking at a number of arms holding hats (Elmo holding a pilot hat, Big Bird holding a farmer's hat, etc.)

My first ever board book is now out in the world! Your local bookstore can absolutely order it if it's not in stock.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

My variant cover for THE FALL OF ULTRAMAN #1 by @kyledhiggins.bsky.social, @matgroom.bsky.social & Davide Tinto. Out February 11th from Marvel Comics.

Please steal my loading screen ideas using cellular automata:

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:

I’m reminded of watching two old ladies ask a teenage goth for directions and she politely told them and when she was out of earshot one lady said “You know where you are with a goth”
