What a BLAST to channel "junior high James" for the official @modretro Chromatic box art. The paper texture was scanned straight from my grade 8 notebook, and everything was drawn with a ballpoint pen for maximum nostalgia. ✨

Advice for beginner artists:. DO THE WORK. Forget followers, likes, retweets, getting on a stage. DO THE WORK. A LOT OF IT. GET BETTER.

Been thinking a lot about ‘iconic’ video game box art. Stuff that really stood out. This is my favourite. What else makes the cut?

Artists have commented on politics since the advent of art. Stop telling them to "stick to art". They're doing what they're supposed to.

Signalnoise turns 19 today. I registered the domain name on April 20, 1999. Little did I know it would become a brand, studio and ultimately my identity as an artist.

Don't ask a designer "How much do you charge for X?". Most designers I know quote project-to-project based on the amount of work involved, never a flat fee. Every job is different. Discussing the elements involved arms a designer to quote properly.
