Last year I had the absolute pleasure of closing the first day of talks at Beyond Tellerrand festival, you can watch the whole talk right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmTNxGwdnIo

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!

I thought you’d approve of Sully’s costume for WBD today @jamiesmart.bsky.social 👍

I LOVE THEM ALL AND WILL PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS [contains quote post or other embedded content]

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!

My 'Gnarlybot' virtual pinball table adventure continues! Working with the awesome VPW crew to take it that next step further with a 'VLM' (stunning realistic lighting via blender) version and VR support!

EON the energy company sent me a survey to fill in. I obliged because I wanted to let them know that I hate them / all energy companies. Turns out, they are truly insane.

🎉 Last week I celebrated 25 years since first registering my domain jam-factory.com, which means it's been a quarter of a century making work under the name Jamfactory! 🎉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-VfqO2_xnM

Chicken Run 3 looks gnarly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD0dMr3kAQs&rco=1

Oof, 2026 is already off to a hell of a start for metalcore / deathcore / whatevercore: Lorna Shore’s Prison Of Flesh, Disembodied Tyrant’s 8.6 Blackout and now Knocked Loose x Denzel Curry! https://youtu.be/hBn7D3Cxsp0?si=4e_L_l2jkueZcxwP

Absolutely hypnotised by this ❤️ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I’m love it when the iPhone spatial wallpaper thing gets it just right 👌

Why didn't Disembodied Tyrant win a grammy!? They were robbed.

I suck at vpinball but tiny, tiny improvements mean I get to appreciate each table a bit more as I discover more about them! Had a good few games on X-Men last night, despite not getting very far, I still saw new stuff, it’s great!

My son's back on his toy making ting! He's designed new toys for the party bags of his 9th birthday! ❤️

I just sneezed and bit my tongue all at the same time and I have no idea how.

Shiny buff boi!

Oh dammmmmnnn, realised I can use Blender to make my own 360° stereographic 3D animations in HDR for Apple Vision Pro! One of those discoveries that makes you hyper excited and totally overwhelmed with possibilities! https://media.tenor.com/8gbP_oFqopMAAAAC/candy-floss-kid.gif?hh=498&ww=498

Important Father-Son bonding today!

Tron Ares in crispy 4K + 3D on the Apple Vision Pro is epic!! Probably the best example of a 3D movie I’ve ever watched, super good! 😍

More late-night noodling using the Blender ‘toolkit’ to overhaul my ‘Gnarlybot’ virtual pinball table! Shiny shiny!

Last night I started my journey into ‘VLM’ - using Blender to create baked light maps - which then get reimported back into Visual Pinball to make the tables look super realistic! This is a very early ‘v0’ of me testing the pipeline for my ‘Gnarlybot’ table!

Rollin’ into 2026 like… [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Cut together some of my creative shenanigans 2025. Some Aardman bits, some passion project bits: directin’, designin’, animatin’, talkin’, music makin’, performin’, 3D printin’, pinballin’ + more! Thanks so much to everyone for the opportunities this year, I’ve been a lucky duck. #aardman #animation

HE’S BEEN! HE’S BEEN!

TA-DA! This is v0.8 of my neon-Norbot virtual pinball table! I’ve taken the digital recreation of a skate-themed 1990 Bally pinball called ‘Radical’ and rethemed it as ‘Gnarlybot’, the fluro-soaked design I created for the Gromit Unleashed 3 charity arts trail! #virtualpinball #vpinball #aardman

Oh BOY I am SO stoked on tonight’s passion project progress… I created the ‘backglass’ for my vpin and connected it up to the code of the game so all those lights trigger as the ROM tells it to! 😍
