All the artwork right now is temporary. Most of it is from people I'd love to pay to make proper illustrations for the game, if it ever comes to that.

Testprint of CARPUNKS, the very much work in progress little miniatures skirmish game I'm working on. So cool to have something to flip through :) Now, time for testing. Also, first time making my own zine. Feels good ✌️

Yeah it's always something. I remember the "add one transparent pixel" trick on twitter back in the day :p Hopefully it's a fluke 🤞

SPÖNGE BORG! The new Pirate Borg supplement, available now! @ejvanmelle.bsky.social joked about this so naturally I had to mock up a lil book cover :p
Fake book cover for the non existing Spönge Borg RPG, in the style of Mörk Borg book covers. The picture itself is from the Search for Squarepants movie. The title "Spönge Borg" is in some very over the top font, with the tag line "are you ready kids". On the bottom left it says: Writing S. B. Squarepants, Graphic design P. Star

And yes that means you get to go to the toy store and find a cool car.

I got inspired and been working on a little rulebook / zine called CARPUNKS. A small scale miniatures game about a bunch of idiots and their car. The idea is that you can use any minis from any setting. A knight, space marine, skeleton, goblin and cyber-dog in the same pickup truck? No problem.
Front page of a book / zine called CARPUNKS. 
There's a still from the movie Return of the Living Dead with a bunch of punks in a car.
The text reads:
A Post-Apocalypse Fantasy miniatures game about driving around with 
your shitty friends, getting into scrapes, showing off and partying.
As well as:
Inspired by Forbidden Psalm, SLAVBORG, Adventure Time and many many MOVIES.

Day 2, back to back short films. A couple of the highlights were: 🍏Charlie is not a boy 🍞The Toaster (Korean) 🛶Lucky Bastard ☝️Mardazma 🔪Chekov's Bun 📺Tele XXX 🔪🔪🔪Murder in the Park AKA No one likes you

The highlight of day 1 was definitely A Distorted Individual. An interesting look into the Indonesian noise scene, as we follow Adythia, armed with his WindowsXP laptop and FrootyLoops, trying to write an AMI award winning song. Start to finish this is such a funny and open-hearted docu. 10/10🍕

Day1 🕷️TICKS: 90s fun, all practical effects 🥄Howard French Course: low budget, highly effective, see the truth 🍕 A Distorted Individual: candid look into the life of a struggling artist 📺 Buffet Infinity: local business ads gone wrong 🐀 RATS: "mad max" with rats, comedy thanks to the English dub

I was about to reboot my shop with new prints and paintings. But then the import tariffs happened, and yesterday the #PPWR regulations. Throw in some exploitative AI on top of that...it's so f'ing bleak for artists. So my shop's closed until further notice 💔
Mental stability? In this economy? Dolphin and stars.

I should do more of these kinds of mockups. It's nice to just draw without thinking about game functionality.

Had to channel the sadness into something, so I made a weird game mockup :)
A pixel art mockup of a weird text-based / point-n-click game idea based on the Jurassic Park character Alan Grant, called Alan's Dream. On the left there's an inventory containing a velociraptor claw, broken eggs, a map, a pocket knife and two flares. In the middle there's the title 'Alan's Dream' and a screen with illustrations depicting Alan, holding a raptor claw, and a velociraptor saying "Alan, wake up!". Underneath there's some text: The velociraptor calls out your name. You have the feeling you've been here before. What would you like to do? 1. talk 2. use item 3. ignore. On the right border there are some decorative leaves and branches and maaaybe a hidden little critter (it's a snake, a sneaky little snake curled around a branch). In the bottom right there's a floppy disc save icon and a settings icon.
