Hello everyone!


I just wanted to post a little update now that we are reaching the end of the year.


I have just finished my role as an English teacher in Okinawa. I have been here for 4 months and it's been both a rewarding and stressful, anxiety inducing experience. Despite leaving my job earlier than intended (Initially planned to stay a year), I am glad that I came here and got to experience teaching English and exploring Okinawa. 


I am also happy to have done some drawings this year, despite my still on going hand problems. Being able to to do some Drawtober pieces and participate in a collaboration has been really fantastic and has given me hope that in the future I may once again be able to draw like I used to.


I have finished my last working day and plan to visit mainland Japan for a while before going back to England. I won't be online for a while, so I won't be able to reply to messages for some time. 


I want to thank you all once again for your continued support and patience with my situation.


I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Fantastic New Year :)


See you all in 2024!

Decided to make the poor choice of trying to do as many days of drawtober/ inktober as possible. Probably won't last too long given my hands current state but i haven't drawn or shared anything in over a year and i miss doing this challenge each year.

Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting an update in a while (Holy s*** it's been over a year since the last update). Things have been a little weird this last year but I can now kinda write how things are.

So, update one. Hand/ arm is still messed up. I have seen doctors both public and private. I have been to physiotherapy and even had acupuncture done. No one seems to know the cause or solution and nothing seems to have helped. Using my right hand still sends pains to shoot up through both my right hand and right arm which is preventing me from drawing for long periods of time. I can still use my hand thankfully and there seems to be no degradation to my motor functions or loss of muscle mass, but drawing is still a difficultly. I can still draw, but it's painful to do so and having this issue has really sucked out the fun I once had to draw, hence the long hiatuses. I don't plan on quitting to draw and post online, but for the time being all I can say is "I will draw and post again when my arm functions again which will happen when it happens". A bit of poopy answer but this is what people keep telling me. It will get better when it gets better. I still don't even know how it started which is strange too.

Update two. For the last couple of months I have stopped working as a freelance illustrator and have been living off savings and seeing doctors. I was fortunate to have the support of my family and friends through these uncertain times and to have been able to work right out of Uni. However, I have been feeling bad not doing anything for the last couple of months. So I decided to apply and teach English In Japan (Okinawa, not my choice). Currently I have been here for 3 weeks so far. There have been several issues I have face while working for this company, but I might talk about these issues maybe another time. It's too soon to complain and I will see if things get better by the end of this month. Also I haven't had internet for like a month which is why I have been silent for the past month (sorry about that).

Update three. As for the future of posting artwork online, I have by no means quit. I am currently just waiting for my hand to get better and will continue to post when my right hand/ arm gets better. I didn't really feel like posting simple sketches online but who knows that might change now that I have decided to finally open up a little. Again I am sorry for keeping you all in the dark, I am really bad at sharing how I feel online.

I would like to thank everyone who has reached out to me and still decided to stick around despite my absence. I really appreciate all of you guys your support. Also, thankyou to the new people who have followed me and stuck around despite me not posting anything. You're all wonderful.

Hopefully the next update post will be in less than a year XD.

HI guys, I am sorry I haven't been posting any new artwork lately.

During The holiday season last year I developed sharp pains in my right middle finger. 

At the time I was not able to see my local General Practise and simply rested my right hand, hoping it was nothing serious.

I was able to talk on the phone to my local GP this morning. Luckily it's nothing serious and I just need to rest my finger for a few more weeks. Pain has regressed to just the tip of the finger which is a great sign of improvement. 

Thank-you for bearing with me and I hope to draw again soon.

Time for Inktober 2021! This year I plan to do another theme similar to last year's Silent Hill theme, which I greatly enjoyed. This year's theme will be around the Berserk series. See you on the 1st of October!

July 26th - EggBert and the Golden Egg V1.1

Thank-you to those who have played my game and sent me feedback.

Based on feedback I have received, I have made some major revisions to the puzzles and the game for a better experience.

I apologise for my previous puzzles and realise that they were very poorly implemented. I hope this new revision is an improvement and makes the game more enjoyable.


  • Changed puzzles to be more apparent and less obscure
  • Fixed some sprites not animating
  • Fixed some spelling mistakes
  • added new dialogue for puzzles
  • added checkers to empty room
  • Change positioning of chickens
