Falling deeper down that virtual pinball rabbithole! Ordered myself a 43” 4K screen for my playfield and have gotten lost admiring all the amazing tables have been made / recreated / updated by the scene! Can’t wait to load them up and give ‘em a try! Just look how good this Godzilla one is!

Aha! My #virtualpinball journey begins! Dug out my old streaming PC and managed to find all the necessary cables to get it hooked back up! It's got a NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 8GB GPU so I'm hoping that'd be enough to run some tables? Let's see!

I've been diving deep down the rabbithole of virtual pinball recently, and despite any useful woodworking or electronics skills, I feel like i'm gravitating towards it and can't look away! I'm on Discord's and Reddit's and everything! This is going to end expensively isn't it? https://media.tenor.com/qmU3WdP0vGkAAAAC/pinball-hurricane.gif?hh=311&ww=498

‘What the Car?’ on Vision Pro is stupidly good fun! Pure maximalist silliness and I am HERE for it!

I made a digital card counterpart for my ‘BroBot-5000’ 3D printed toy, made using @splinetool.bsky.social ✨⚡️ ( Get your own physical toy at strangekids.toys )

Back in 2019 I was lucky enough to design & direct the end credits sequence for Aardman's second Shaun the Sheep movie 'Farmageddon'. I just found a bunch of my original style frames:

I use the 'Shifting Tiles' screensaver on Mac OS and point it to a folder that contains over 3,000 beautiful images of amazing work by amazing humans that I've collected over the years. The screensaver is set to come on after 2 minutes so there's always a fresh buffet of inspiration in my eyeballs!

I’ve made my own 3D printed art toy - ‘BroBot-5000’ 👍🤖 Get yours over at mine and my kids DIY ‘Toy Company’ www.strangekids.toys

Been printing out more ‘BroBot-5000’s at home, as I’m gonna pop them on me online store soon!

We finally finished Season 4 of The Bear last night. Wonderful, simply wonderful. This season has been the epitome of why ‘show, don’t tell’ is so powerful. https://media.tenor.com/1CBRHjSMztoAAAAC/nose-tap-the-bear.gif?hh=353&ww=498

It’s bloody brilliant! Passionate humans with a story to tell, executed immaculately with the most killer soundtrack! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Best post day ever!!! Arcane S1 and AKIRA on 4K UHD Blu-ray!

Oooof! Loads of formative ones for me!! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I created digital versions of my son’s Axolotl toys, for our ‘Strange Kids’ venture! Using Spline 3D, each of the three toy colourways come with a QR code that lets the owner play with this in-browser! Sully came up with the names of the characters, their attacks, costs and HP! strangekids.toys

I love 3D printing! Printed myself a few Megadrive cartridge stands thanks to a design from makersworld 👍

New blog is up! All about me trip to LA this week! Grab a coffee and give it a read: https://blog.jam-factory.com/roundup-018-a-visit-to-la/

I adorned my 'GNARLYBOT' sculpture for Gromit Unleashed 3 with a whole host of graphics paying homage to some of the great skateboarding graphics of the 70's & 80's! See if you can get all the references...

BroBot! My latest design and 3D print - man I love this thing! It’s making me up my Blender modelling skills too, making sure it’s nice and neat!

3D Printed my own big block-mech-dude over the weekend. Really impressed with this matte black and pink combo! Took a fair few go's getting this printing right, but stoked on the results!

Turnstile’s Glasto set was an absolute banger!! Catch it on iPlayer, well good! ✨⚡️ https://media.tenor.com/v1HCv_7B1dkAAAAC/turnstile-turnstile-love-connection.gif?hh=278&ww=498

Thank god for that. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

A ‘new to #3Dprinting thread’… so we go to our local village summer fair and there’s some kids selling 3D printed trinkets & toys that they printed on their dad’s 3D printer. My kids LOVE it and excitedly spend their allocated £2 on some iridescent optical illusion toy thing…

Stoked to unveil ‘GNARLYBOT’ - my Norbot sculpture for The Grand Appeal’s #gromitunleashed3 charity arts trail! Inspired by the fluro excess of 80’s skate films like ‘Attack’ & ‘Search for Animal Chin’. Find him at Quakers Friars in Cabot Circus, Bristol from June 30th until August 31st!

Best post day ever!! A haul from Unbox Industries 😍 @unboxindustries.bsky.social

Late-night noodling on the KO II, putting a beat together for an upcoming talk!
