The Zium Railway is out now! My piece, ‘A Beating Heart’ is featured in one of the eight ‘train stations’. If you’re an art-game connoisseur, I can recommend going for a ride.

some of the earliest sketches for the railway

3d sketch for the zium railcar, an abstract, triangular vehicle reminiscent of a boat

a colorful drawing of a landscape with a giant triangular mountain in the center encircled by a monorail track and fields of flowers planted in neat rows

Two paintings in a neon palette. In the first is some earthworks and large geometric sculptures. In the second are structures made of stacked angular forms in a landscape of rolling green hills

Hello. We're currently working on the next entry in The Zium series, and it's going very well. Perhaps we will start showing some work-in-progress glimpses occasionally. Here is one from our new gallery overworld, designed and art directed by the wickedly talented @jpotterfield.bsky.social

A work-in-progress screenshot from a video game, the next in The Zium series, of a mountainous expanse with various structures from stone houses inlaid into the cliffs to modern structs and strata of bridges and other installations.

I'm working on a project for The Next Zium. All the flowers are native to Ethiopia and painted by me. In the distance is a 3D model I created of Ethiopian basket art. It uses textures I sourced from a recent trip to Ethiopia.

I wrote a short sci-fi/fantasy piece for The Zium Digest which released in April. My story is about a phenomenon we experience everyday on Earth, but happens only once a lifetime on another planet. It's a vignette about the fear and wonder of something that seems so natural and innocent to us.

I'm working on environment design for next Zium Exhibition, more details eventually. This poster shows the overworld which each artist's gallery is located within

A colorful poster depicting a mountainous landscape interspersed with architecture and infrastructural details, a white ribbon loops around the landscape. In the center is a tall triangular mountain.

🏛️The Next Zium🏛️ In the land of Lyptch, in the valley of the Underground Mountain... Thought you'd like a little look. Out later this year. New exhibits, artists, and a new gallery/world to explore! World art + art direction @jpotterfield.bsky.social

A colourful, expressive, slightly abstract landscape with a large mountain at the center, a number of mountains and hills around it, and a transit line snaking its way around the area. The image looks not unlike a sort of theme park in a mountainous landscape with a central mountain as the focal point.

@jpotterfield.bsky.social also made a poster for The Zium Digest, which in the back pages has some cameos from other collectives, and this was ours for The Zium. The image in this is the mountain from the new Zium from some early art tests. Adore this piece of art. Thank you, Jacob!
