I've been helping out with some additional art and design on the upcoming Retroflux iPhone game Ultrablast:

Apologies

Sorry for the lack of posts! I recently started a new job at Imagineer Systems, so have been hell-bent on absorbing information as quickly as possible! Regular updates will return shortly.

Mushroom God

Fell out of my brain during the week. Still a bit muddy, but a little better than my usual guff.
