I decided to give it a go. My ‘Spaceships in Bottles’ pin and standee Kickstarter is live! 🛸🚀🪐 The initial goal is to fund the pin designs for the #Rocinante from #theexpanse and the Normandy from #MassEffect kickstarter.com/projects/haunt…

Watch.

TRG’s going through some restructuring - and as a result of that, my role as features editor no longer exists. I’m figuring out what I want to do next, so if you have or know of a job you think I’d be great for, I’d love to hear about it.

Oh my GOODNESS I am so excited that I can AT LAST talk about how I'm part of the team behind Ironwood Studios | Endless Expeditions💥!' PACIFIC DRIVE, revealed today. Working on this project has been so remarkable and I'm stoked to see it finally shown off today. Keep your eyes on the road...
