I'm Jack, aka Zealous Alchemy, an English xylographer (woodcut printmaker) and artist.

I prefer to work with limited colour palettes, often B&W.

I'm interested in anime, cinema, Westerns, and country music - my work mostly reflects these in some way.

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.

He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

Planning a big sticker restock in Jan. Going to retire most of my old designs, except for the most popular.

In the meantime, stickers are 33% off until the end of 2025 - the cheapest they've ever been!

Watched The Big Country (1958), it's been stuck in my head ever since.

Rewatched Django Unchained. I appreciated it even more this time around, as I've seen a lot more spaghetti westerns since.

Been working on some studies lately, pretty happy with how this one turned out.

Another year, another diabolical Xmas market.

Firstly, terrible weather. Rain all day, it was dark by 2pm. Next, the heating didn't work in the room I was situated in. The venue then bought electric heaters to fix the issue; however the only plug socket near me didn't work.

Maybe I'm cursed.

Desperately needed to update my pinned post!

Seeing 1 year old work at the top of my profile every time I opened BlueSky was akin to self-inflicted torture.

The Ramiel woodcuts are finally finished!

You'd think painting a big block of watercolour on a bunch of prints would be easy, but alas it presented a myriad of issues. Everyday is a school day when it comes to printing.

Been at a local Xmas market this Fri/Sat.

Glacial start on both days, which is always extremely depressing. Yet by the end of market, I'd taken about 40% more than the same event last year.

I always forget how niche a lot of my interests are to the average person who isn't terminally online...

Rewatched Love Exposure. A 4hr Japanese film that's akin to a religious experience. It's not really comparable to anything else, it's just that unique. I really love this film.

Most of the way there now. Need to take out all the corners on the apartment block details which will take a while.

Looking forward to getting these printed and painting Ramiel blue.
