The Art of Little Bird Episode 1
Christmas 2011, the holiday season was about to begin.. I was just about to begin the slow down for the holidays, you know the usual sort of thing, mulled wine, ginger wine, mince pies, backing up my files, fixing things, you get the idea. So mid-bite through a mince pie I’m offered a small project […]
Blobbit Push the 2nd
It’s been many years since the first Blobbit game came out and as many years again Mark and I have pondered on when we should work on it again. Neither one of us had the time previously but the planets have aligned correctly somewhere in the Universe and we both agree 2016 is to be […]
ATV Quad Kings
This was a very straightforward project to work on as my involvement was solely to provide the GUI artwork for the game with a few simple menu animations. One of my favourite pieces I produced was the speedo which becomes covered in mud as the race develops. Though this was a relatively small job I […]
Indie Royale
The work I produced for the game bundles site Indie Royale during XXXX was at times challenging, as more often than not the game bundles were unconfirmed sometimes with only 24hours notice. This meant I had to work fast whilst retaining the established look and feel of the existing illustrations. Oh and top of that […]
Football sprites… I wondered I did…
I was sitting on the sofa, as you do (or don’t if you have successfully mastered the art of levitation), when a thought crossed my mind.

International Amiga Day 2014
So it’s International Amiga day 2014! I wasn’t going to post anything, but then I thought to myself, do you know what, a good chunk of my working life was spent in front of an Amiga computer of some sorts during most of the 1990s perhaps a few lines is deserving of a machine I […]
World Championship Soccer II Chat With MegaBite
Not too long before I departed from Sensible Software I was offered to work on a secret project for Sega. I’d already worked on the Megadrive so when I found out it was to create a side on football game based on the Sensible Soccer code, I couldn’t say no! I wrote briefly about this […]
1995 – some pixel texture art I did for Joe Blow
Here’s some old pixel art I made in 1995. Only thing I’ve added to it is a scanline filter (after x2 scale) original image was 320 x 256 , drawn 1 pixel at a time. I’m such a sucker for hand drawn anti-aliasing!
