i dislike the whole project but his paintings have always overwhelmingly struck me as NAIVE in a way that he doesnt seem to intend-- he's treating the illo as lowbrow and authorless and making a joke of putting it into Fine Art, but all i can see is man this fucker had no grasp of drawing at all lol

Always love seeing a level designer leaving a calling card in their work. (American Truck Simulator)

Yeah, that’s tracing over something more detailed / more finished. It’s not a preparatory early version before a later more detailed version.

Amazing! Totally gives of the vibe of a 1980s cassette cover.

You know, I've got a vague memory that it might have been his brother, who happened to be available, and was cheaper. Not sure. But it wasn't just some guy at the studio impersonating him.

Haha, I wasn't working there then, I just did the loading screen as a freebie for my brother while I was at school. John used to have the full audio tape of the VO recording session, with outtakes and stuff (as I remember), which was funny. Can't remember what it sounded like on the Speccy.

Incredibly weathered takeaway sign on Dale Road, Buxton. One for @deswalsh.bsky.social ‘s environment art reference.

A sign saying ‘Lucky Takaway Parking for staff and customers only’, where the vinyl or whatever substance makes up the lettering has curled and raised due to rain and frost damage so much that it has almost created a new font.

In 2002/3, while at Zed Two, I coded two complete Pocket PC games that were never released. One of these was and official conversion of Tetris. Here's @stepickford.bsky.social's hand-drawn design for the layout and how it looked in the game.

Not drawn anything (outside of work) for ages. Especially not something on actual paper with an actual physical pen! Feels good to get something finished.

A pen and ink drawing of me and my youngest sat on a stone at Castlerigg Stone Circle, with a dramatic Cumbrian background and sky.

I foolishly read the intro. What is it with introductions to books that assume you’ve already read the book before? Put them at the end of the book, not the beginning. I did love this book though.
