Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Poppy madness is my favourite season in the UK calendar.

I know money is tight, but please consider picking one or two creators, whose work brings you joy or helps you, and give them each 5 quid a month. Feel free to rotate after a while if you want to support more. It's worth doing to break big algorithm's control over our creators, at least a bit.

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

Another older Halloween comic. I lost the old file so I recently had to redraw it, and I had a lot of fun revisiting this.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

Terrified to announce that Parasensor's demo is OUT NOW ON STEAM 📣😱 Become telecom technician Marisol and explore our freaky Footscray-inspired quarantine zone. 1 demo play = 1 flower for artist @unseconds.bsky.social who we suspect hasn't smelt a flower yet this spring :') #indiegames #indiedev

Vacation comes to an end. Huge progress with our #indiegame #earlyaccess release, it's so close it hurts but the short todo list is deceptive. Now to pick a good release date. I heard that not a lot is coming out in November this year … 🤔 #gamedev #indie store.steampowered.com/app/3509250/...

In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.
