All the best to Starot for their fundraising! Do check out the TTRPG where you get to explore a tarot-influenced cosmos as a variety of aliens! #wahawednesday

Back in 2023, a client commissioned our studio to create a comic for his daughter's birthday! This is what we created based on his vision. His daughter really liked Spiderman and Breath of the Wild!

A young girl in Link (from Zelda BOTW) cosplay finds an amulet that teleports her little sister, dog and cat into another dimension where they were threatened by Spot (from Spiderman animated movie). The girl reveals that she has Spiderman powers, enter the dimension and rescues her sister, dog and cat. She then closes the dimensional door with the amulet. Together, they are all back home and safe.

If our preferred art direction works for you, we'll love to give illustrating your children's book a shot.

Always wanted to join in for #kidlitartpostcard day! Our studio has always wanted to try our hands on kid lit. Our approach tends to be on the more realistic side (but still cute!). Drop us an email at [email protected] if you want to work with us.

This is my favorite line from this Oatmeal comic.

This isn't a death sentence for artists; it's a tired groan into mediocrity - a Fortnite dance into a sea of Giphy-powered dog shit.

What was once a cherished skill is now just a marketing influencer slopping up engagement metrics like a nude pig in a cheap, hot dumpster.

Looks like no AFA for us this year. It's good to take a break for once. I guess.

Already?!

I tried the Dear Me, I was demo at TGS! Mostly because there was practically no queue and that clear folder swag is good. I think they drop you directly into Chapter... 5? Having not played the game myself yet, I had zero context. So I was just clicking cluelessly on the screen till I reach the end.

These are a selection of illustrations we did for the documentary. We didn't know it ended up as a massive ad for Grab though...

Transforming itself from cell phone to smart phone. A picture of a middle aged businessman talking into a massive brick cell phone on an urban street.

It had 170,000 borrowers across the country... Policemen behind a table with motorcycle helmets on it. The center policeman is holding a sheet of paper with the text 170,000 borrowers written on it.

A fatigued driver lost control of the bus and it careered off... A bus crashing off the side of a mountainous highway. Glass shards everywhere.

They smash the knitting machines inside to smithereens. Workers doing just that. Very satisfying. In the right timeline, these workers should have won.

Thank you. It's kinda annoying that we are getting swamped out out by so, so many spammers. I used to think that we are just competing with other artists who are just much faster!
