GamesTM issue 117 is out
A rather good article on us bods at Sensible… Worth a purchase if I don’t say so myself
(UPDATE) An old screen mock up..and my blog is now wider!!
I’ve widened the width of this blog! Yay let’s all have a party! Ok it’s not that big a deal but it does mean I can fit some Amiga size screenshots in now without having to scale them down and in the process losing that retrotastic scanline effect I like to add. To start it […]
Revisiting 1995: The Sensible Golf level editor
It’s screen shot time again folks! I’ve taken it upon myself to provide a few screen shots for the GamesTM article that’s currently being written. ‘Yeah no probs’ I said thinking I’d load up the old Amiga emulator, take a few screen shots and be out in time for the virtual pub to open.. Nope! […]
I once did a pixel version of the World Cup…
And here it is…all drawn 1 pixel at a time using the most excellent ProMotion from the most excellent Jan Zimmerman & Cosmigo! Unfortunately due to licensing regulations that are tighter than tight things wrapped in latex rubber, shrink wrapped, re-squeezed and then cling filmed to the extreme, this humble image can never be used […]

1000 Tiny Claws
I worked on three of the background tilesets for this game and this project marked a departure for me as previously I had only created tileset art in pixel art. For this one the games art assets were being created in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop which at that time I had not used for a […]
Bottom about face….
I like pixel pushing, I like pencils, I like my Wacom tablet, I like water colour paints, I like…. I like… I realised the other day that I’ve spent most of my professional life drawing digitally. When I say digitally I refer to the creation of graphics (mostly for games) on a computer screen using […]
Vernimb reveals bum Shocker!
There I was doodling away recently on the back projection of a Vernimb when it dawned on me that I in order to preserve the correct detail I would have to draw a Vernimb bum! Bit saggy but it’s not real so none of that cosmetic meddling required here thank you.. That’s all for now, […]
