Heading off to Green Man Festival next week and can't wait. Selling screen prints with my art pals has become a highlight each year. Here's my festival poster for Mogwai. A2, limited edition & screen printed by me. #screenprinting #gigposters #mogwai #greenmanfest
1 Week left of the Strange Stories RPG funding campaign. We've raised enough so the book is going ahead and I can't wait to get started on the layout and new illustrations.
Strange Stories is fully funded on Backerkit and a couple of stretch goals in! I'm so pleased folks are digging the art & design work! 👻 Lots more art & info here: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w... Any support much appreciated! #roleplayinggames #tabletoprpg #weirdtales #rpgart #backerkit
Cover reveal for STRANGE STORIES the Roleplaying Game. Funding campaign launches in just less than a week. Can't wait to share all the artwork I've been working on.
Great piece from J. here. Sometimes friction is vital in order to make progress. When AI conveniently removes the friction, it also completely removes any opportunity to learn the intricacies of your craft.
Public Service Broadcasting HQ@psbhq.bsky.social · 3mo agoI've written something - I hesitate to call it an essay, but I suppose it might be - about art, creativity and AI. If you're not bored of reading about those things, here it is (free to read): www.patreon.com/u85581309/po...
Had a dream last night where the phrase 'all dresser, no drawers' was used to refer to someone who was a bit superficial. I may have made it up but I like it.
Here's the first bit of artwork for STRANGE STORIES the Roleplaying game. As a fan of weird tales, horror, and sci-fi I'm really enjoying coming up with the imagery and style for this project. Lots more to share as we build up to the crowdfunding launch. #weirdtales #horror #gameart #lovecraft
"there’s a difference between using a tool to say something you actually mean, and using a tool to manufacture the appearance of meaning something." - great to-the-point quote from @densediscovery.bsky.social re. the inauthentic ick that comes from outsourcing sincerity to AI.
Recently visited Giant's Causeway. Here's a little digital tinkering I'd forgotten I'd done.
Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work. www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog... 🧵 1/4

Cover art for tabletop mini game COSMIC HORROR. Had a lot of fun pushing outside my usual comfort zone with this one. #cosmichorror #lovecraft #digitalart #gameart
Your outdated pop references are never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down.

I was kindly sent out one of the PSB/Marloe collab watches last month. Probably the nicest bit of 'merch' that has some of my work on it. Anyway, I wrote a wee thing on't blog: blog.armyofcats.com/aerodyne-the...
This week I finished up a digital painting project for a Lovecrafty, 1920s horror game. Here's a very small bg snippet. Looking forward to sharing the full thing.
Made In Yorkshire - silkscreen print, done by hand, right up to the framing, and ready to head off to its new home. #printmaker #artist #yorkshire
We're delighted - delighted I say! - to be heading back to Aus & NZ at last this year, in early May. Pre-sale starts 10am Tuesday (AEDT), and you can register here: publicservicebroadcasting.os.fan/aus-nz-2026 Lovely poster by Graham Pilling.
3 illustrations I was commissioned to create - Top Withins, the Stoop Stone, and Ponden Clough, Stanbury. All well known landmarks in Brontë Country.
Printing artwork in black ink over top of test prints to turn them into something new. Each one unique. I'll chuck these up in my shops in the new year. #screenprint
🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright: - 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is) 🧵 1/2
Couple more screenprint designs for #PublicServiceBroadcasting - for their EU and North America dates. My last poster designs of the year... but I'm sure there'll be plenty more to come.
Recent work for #PublicServiceBroadcasting - set of 2 screen prints to commemorate their performances at the London Barbican. Posters sold out at the show, few left on my own shops. #screenprinting #gigposters #PSB #Barbican
Tidying up folders, found a sketch that reminded me of @aptshadow.bsky.social's Final Architecture series. (Currently reading the 3rd book).
Great little mini-site celebrating the poster designs of Roland Garros and exploring how visual language has changed over the decades. www.thomasmoes.com/52obsessions...
Obsession 14: Posters reveal the design spirit of each era
I noticed how every generation of poster artists unconsciously documented their era's visual language.
