Games, wallpapers and a new website
A first check-in since launching my newsletter.
An update on the game
You might already know that I’m working on a game, but if not: I’m making a game! We’re currently prototyping the basic mechanics and exploring bringing my art style to a 3D world and it’s a real joy to work on. We’re currently feeling like we have a solid foundation for the gameplay, which we think is most likely to sit in the ‘cosy sim’ genre. I’m impatiently excited to bring this thing to life and can’t wait to share more updates in future. For now here’s a little image of my desk — I’ve been having fun taking pictures with a toy camera of our recent builds (which are super WIP, mostly using very basic placeholder assets for now — don’t worry, the game is going to be in glorious colour and we’re excited to make a beautiful, atmospheric world to spend time in that’s faithful to my style).
Phone wallpapers
I’ve refreshed my phone wallpapers pack (which now has 60 images!) and reduced the minimum price to £2 for a short time (I’ll put it back up in a day or two). I’ve been so happy to see so many people buying over the past few days, sharing pictures of their lock screens and leaving glowing reviews like:
”A dreamy, mystical set of images that make great backgrounds. I love seeing them appear when I pick up my phone. Thank you!”
”I love James' illustrations, which are nostalgic and take me back to a wonderful place somewhere far away, and I am very happy to have the chance to purchase the wallpapers and to be able to see them every time I check my phone.”

New website
I’ve just updated my personal site for the first time in ages, making it totally focused on my art. It’s the first time I’ve actually had a website that collects all my favourite work and I hope can be a place where people can enjoy my work away from social media. I’ve also added a quick section explaining how I make my artwork, which I hope to expand in future.
