'The Horror at Highrook'
store.steampowered.com/app/2836860/Th…
An occult card-crafting RPG . Ive been working on this experimental narrative board game for a while and I'm super excited to finally show you more!
Please Retweet, Wishlist and spread the word.

ICYMI, and you probably haven’t missed it but still: I’m Kickstarting a big fancy hardback book of MILESHIPS, the culmination of a decade of drawing and painting flying machinery. Jim Rossignol is doing the words. You can register to be notified here:
kickstarter.com/projects/ianmc…

'This book is a tour of the MILESHIPS world: it is not one story, but something like a narrative scrapbook of fragments and moments. It is a worldbook for another place: a glimpse of an archipelago in the sky which echoes our own lost histories.'

Soon I'll reveal what I've been working on for the last year or so. I'm very nervous.. Its the first thing I have made for years that feels entirely mine - a combination of newfound skills, inspirations and experiments. A world as much as a game, I hope I can do it justice.

Shipping charts have a sort of weirdness to us land-bound creatures: they are of the sea, where dry land is negative space. We had to explore that in Mileships, where the air itself is the space which has to be mapped.

Mileships will be a 190-page narrative art book. That means it won’t just be pictures, but also a wealth of writing by the scholarly Jim Rossignol. We’ve been building this world together since 2017!Sign up for the Kickstarter here:

Anyway.

A few examples of some stuff I've been working on 😉

Just left romantic ruin of Kaja castle #Austria - bringing sketchbook instead of camera was a nice idea. :)

Envar Studio is looking for a Narrative Designer and Writer

Why has there been so little attempt to follow up on Channel 4's Dispatches programme about Boris Johnson? Don't we now need to know, e.g., *why* he worked so hard to get a peerage for Evgeny Lebedev?

In the village of Nashtifan, Iran, some of the oldest windmills in the world, with what may be the earliest windmill design in the world, still spin. Made of natural clay, straw, and wood, they have been milling grain for flour for an estimated 1,000 years buff.ly/2zeGJTz

As brand identity choices go, this one for the breaking news account of a serious news organisation on social media is interesting.
