Possibly gone overboard on eclipse prep, custom filters for all the things!

A camera with a large lens and two pairs of binoculars arranged on a table. They all have red 3d printed holder with shiny metallic solar filters on the lenses.

Feels like a good time to post the main thoughts I had about that film.

A scene from the Nolan film The Odyssey showing the wooden horse stuck in the sand. The words "Odd 'oss" and "sea" are written next to it. It is a very bad pun on odd horse.

Another pencil crayon study. This was quite tricky and it’s not really finished, but I’m really enjoying using real pencils.

A pencil crayon drawing of a rocky path through some small trees with white trunks. It’s Autumn in the Scottish Highlands and the ferns at the sides of the path are orangy brown, and the trees have already lost their leaves.

The big thing I did this year and haven't been able to say much about up until now is that I was SOMEHOW asked to illustrate the new Folio Society edition of A Christmas Carol, introduced by Simon Callow. Bit of a dream job. www.foliosociety.com/uk/a-christm...

Limited edition of the Folio Society's A Christmas Carol, illustrated by me. It's bound in red leather with embossed gold wreath and lettering, and the box is lined by and illustration of a snowy night time Dickensian city scene. Surrounded by stuff on my desk (pens, glasses, glue etc).

The standard edition of the Folio Society's A Christmas Carol illustrated by me. The book itself featured a view of Scrooge in a long black coat with a top hat and red scarf from the back, surveying the snowy London skyline. The slip case is green and has vignettes of relevent scenes and motifs in the style of Georgian wallpaper. One of the vignettes is a circular cut out, so when the book is in the slipcase you can see Scrooge's head through it. Surrounded by the loads of rubbish I have on my desk.

An illustration from the first stave of A Christmas Carol. Scrogge is sat by his fire eating his gruel when across his large but shabby drawing room, Marley's ghost appears.

An illustration of the fourth stave, featuring Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas yet to come (who is a Victorian widow in high mourning, completely draped and almost invisible in black net and bombazine). They are in a graveyard, which is based largely on St Cuthbert's Kirkyard in Edinburgh. She points to his grave, and he looks at it in horror. There is a smaller gravestone to his right, capped with snow which features a skull in bas relief and the words 'MOMENTO MORI' in a motto scroll over the top. The moon shines from an Atkinson Grimshaw-esque greenish winter sky, illuminating the dome of St Paul's Cathedral.

Loch and lumps (mountains). Pitlochry is a lovely part of Scotland.

View over a loch, the sky is overcast but broken with hazy sunshine, and the hills disappear into the haze.

Loch Ness - a (horrible) story in two panels. Not sure about this really but I could twiddle on with it forever.

An illustration of a cross section of Loch Ness, dark with green and red tones, split into two panels. On the top panel there is a boat in which is a man training his camera on the Loch Ness monster, who appears to be swimming away from him, in front of the ruins of Castle Urquhart. There’s a red sun setting behind dark mountains. In the lower panel the ‘monster’ of the upper panel is revealed to be a lure, anglerfish style, and is actually the tip of the tail of the actual monster which has a giant skull and spine and is about to gobble up the small boat from below.

Beautiful day for a walk, some nature, and messing about with a camera.

Grainy black and white photo of a field with a single telephone pole silhouetted against some light wispy clouds.

A black and white photo of a bundle of twine hanging from a tree, looking a bit creepy and witchy.

Black and white photo of a field stretching into the distance with an odd T-shaped water pipe sticking out of the ground in the mid-distance.

Black and white photo of a grassy track leading to some farm buildings surrounded by trees. A deer is just visible in a field the distance, looking at the camera.

Feeling a strong need to go and clamber around some Welsh slate quarries in the fog... Dinorwig, January 2022

A working level within the huge Dinorwig slate quarry in Eryri / Snowdonia. Jagged slate and looming mist make it resemble an inhospitable alien planet. A solitary bare conifer and some scrubby grasses the only colour in an otherwise monochrome and darkly shadowed scene.

My favourite game series. At the time the demo came out, we didn't have a PC powerful enough to run it. I still spent *hours* exploring Bafford's manor at ~5fps because I was entranced by the atmosphere and world.

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.
