Over the last few years I've had little cause to write much. I’ve drawn a lot of pictures, and I prefer that sort of work to speak for itself. Whatever I write nowadays usually contains only one hundred and forty characters. Often fewer.
But I want to talk about this. I want to talk about it because I'm excited. I am making a video game! If you're even slightly familiar with my work, you'll already know how absolutely, frighteningly, pathetically obsessed I am with the medium. If you don't know my work, well, I'm obsessed with games. Absolutely, frighteningly, pathetically so.
I'm also obsessed with making things, and I've already had the good fortune of being asked to make things for video games. But it's always been tertiary; posters, promos, cover art. All fun things to make, certainly, but I was always disappointed that I was never asked to really get my teeth into an actual game. All my requests to do so were politely refused; "why not draw a t-shirt for our store instead?" "How about a promo poster?". I resigned myself to the fact that I would play games, and love them, but never make one.
But now the call has come and it is both exciting and terrifying. I’ve joined a new game studio called Campo Santo along with Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman (Creative leads and writers on Telltale’s The Walking Dead) and Nels Anderson (lead gameplay designer on Mark of the Ninja). I’ve never been so passionate about a project as I am this, and I’ve never creatively clicked with a team so well as I do with Sean, Jake and Nels. But they are all proven in this field. I am not.
I hope I'm going to be good at this.
Wish me luck.
Wish us luck.

Drawing Batman (with your eyes closed)
This San Diego Comic Con, I stole an idea from Blind as a Batman and had a bunch of my mates attempt a little Batman drawing with their eyes closed. Here are the results.

SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2013
Hello, chaps! I have a table at SDCC this year! You can find me at the Gallery Nucleus enclave (#2743) along with these amazing people!
I'm bringing a ton of stuff with me!
I worked with Studio Ghibli and Mondo to create new, official posters for two of my favourite films, Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle.
These Japanese editions will be available exclusively at comic con. English versions will be available online at a later date.
Once again, a big thank you to the folks at Ghibli and Mondo for giving me the chance to do this.
The public outpour of emotion over the death of Ryan Davis has been at once uplifting and devastating; amazing to see how many lives he touched but equally tragic the scope of loss. There has been a lot said, and much of it by better writers and closer friends - so I won't go on.
What I will do though is finish the drawing he kept asking me to do. Sorry it's so late.
RIP, buddy.
what do you look like?
Over the few months I've been doodling these game characters in my spare time.
I got a lot of requests for prints so I've put them up for sale as a timed edition until Midnight on friday the 21st. They're available in singles and three-packs and you can buy them here.
