Experimenting with a completely new medium today. Stepping way outside my comfort zone.

Okay I was not expecting to get roasted by a chess bot called Grandma Gambit while procrastinating between glaze firings, but here we are. The Lingo banter running alongside the board is genuinely the bit, it's got personality in a way most browser games just don't bother with. No download, no sign-up, just jump in and get verbally destroyed; my only gripe is the rankings section still feels half-baked. 👍 Trash-talk bots with actual distinct voices · Instant browser play, no friction at all 👎 Rankings page is still rough around the edges ⭐ 8/10 🎮 Chessingo (HyperSonic Games Studio (published by Tyga Games), 2026)

Honestly wasn't expecting to get hooked on a match-3 but the cascades and combo detonations have this really satisfying tactile pop to them — scratches the same itch as centring a piece on the wheel, that moment everything clicks into place. The real-time 1v1 duels with voice chat are genuinely fun once you find your clan, though the post-match ceremony stuff is clearly still being finished off. Free with no pay-to-win nonsense is a big tick from me. 👍 Juicy cascades and combos feel genuinely rewarding · Real-time duels + voice chat over clans is a proper community layer · Cosmetics-only — the leaderboard means something 👎 Post-match podium ceremony is mid-build and a bit anticlimactic right now ⭐ 8/10 🎮 Cropsicles (TYGA.GAMES, 2026)

Reclaiming clay. Nothing goes to waste in my studio. Environmental responsibility.

Collaborative piece with a Melbourne flower artist. Clay and blooms together.

Firing schedule for my reduction kiln. Temperature curves that create magic.

Hand-building vs. wheel-throwing. Different techniques, different aesthetics, both valid.

Making a teapot from start to finish. The most technically demanding form in ceramics.

My Melbourne studio tour. Converted garage, two wheels, one electric kiln.

The first pot I ever made vs. today. Five years of practice visualized.
