Me and my good friend Norm had a great time at ‘HQ’ in Nottingham, building our brand ‘PLYFLD’, screenprinting our own t-shirts up! Stay tuned to www.plyfld.com for more info!

Oof, the new Vision Pro OS27 beta is great! Being able to make immersive environments from your own panoramic photos is ace!
Myself and a dear old friend, who also happens to be a pinball-obsessed graphic designer, have started a passion project ‘thing’ together called ‘Playfield’, abbreviated to PLYFLD. It’s gonna be pinball meets art meets collaboration - give us a follow on the ol’ Insta: www.instagram.com/p_l_y_f_l_d
Do you remember when *large* companies would never pass on rising costs to consumers, they would take a hit to their *large* profits instead…? Yeah, them times are gone.

Inspired by the 'Logo Archive' trend, I thought I’d put together a smorgasbord of vector ‘stuff’. Logos, logotypes, characters and all sorts of other bits. Some public things, some Aardman things, some things that have never seen the light of day. Long story short, VIVA LA VECTOR! ✊🖋️
Why... WHY, in the year 2026, does the colour picker in Adobe Illustrator pick up the gradient style but NOT the gradient direction!?!?!? There's been over 30 full releases of Illustrator and this still happens!?

It’s not much for those who are good at pinball, but 75 million for me on Fish Tales is a big deal!!
Had a friend over at the weekend as we attempted to play all 59 virtual pinball tables I’ve got installed… we got nowhere near, only making it to ‘J’ - but we ended on the maximalist banger that is Data East’s 1993 Jurassic Park 👌🦖
Making good (but slow) progress on this! Modelled a new neon pink ‘apron’ 👍
I’m loving shooting more stills with my GoPro, for maximum fisheye effect! I shoot in RAW then grade in Lightroom! P.S You can 3D print my ‘FSHi’ ergonomic case for GoPro 9-13 here: makerworld.com/en/models/27...
AJ is the best. The things he makes are the best. 'DUCKS' is the best. Watch it and enjoy 🦆
AJ Jefferies@moonjam.com · 3mo agoWhat better way to spend 4 minutes and 45 seconds of your day/life than watching 'DUCKS'? (please do not answer this) 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8vZ... #animation #art #shortfilm #short #ducks #dfdb #quaaaack #cgi
This is how deep the rabbithole I am for virtual pinball… I'm knee deep in a PDF scan of a 1990 skateboard-themed pinball machine to try and recreate the precise solenoid triggers for my own personal Wallace & Gromit-rethemed virtual counterpart.
Making some good progress in my ‘Gnarlybot’ vpin table overhaul in Blender!
I made a short film! It’s called ‘DUCKS’ (Music and Sound by the incredible Megalithic Sound, everything else by me) youtu.be/L8vZbIeAdAw?... #animation #ducks #shortfilm #independentfilm #3d #cgi

I added a new print profile to my ‘FSHi’ GoPro 3D printer case, this time a quicker print in single colour, go give it a print on #Makerworld >>> makerworld.com/en/models/27...
Oh boy, the Marathon soundtrack is RAD! I'm still yet to play the game, but loving all the art, animation and now the music, so good! If you like ambient-ey, drone-ey, glitch-ey, big beat-ey electronic stuff, then this is for you!

Gave my ‘Yoga Flame’ arcade cab a flame-worthy Sanwa button upgrade 👌🔥
Man, I really want to play 'MARATHON' as the aesthetics are *so* up my street, but i am terrible at games, especially shooters, so I fear I wouldn't have a good time. I wish Bungie would include a mode for time-poor skill-poor people!

so great to live in a time when Republicans would rather allow a new and illegal war because they’re embarrassed to admit their President is a paedophile
A Little Stomp is now live in my shop if you’re looking for a dopamine hit in the current hellscape! I should also have mentioned the 25% off everything sale that’s going on until midnight tonight *ages ago* but I am terrible at marketing! (Shares welcome) www.redbubble.com/people/docha...

Big thanks to my dear friend Jack for designing and printing me a custom aluminium extrusion + 3D printed vpinball ‘cabinet’… and then giving up his whole Sunday to assemble it with me! Stage 1 done; clear perspex sides and modular internal gubbins holders next!
