FairGame

Working on a new project to create a game company called FairGame and have the honour to announce that it is a finalist in the prestigious Brewhouse Awards! 

The final takes place the 8th of December 2016.

Fair Game is a game company that aims to highlight contemporary social problems by developing games that evoke empathy, create public opinion and debate. The games can be used to discuss moral and ethical issues both in school and in private. Profit from the games will be used to aid projects within the game's theme. The first game is called "Refugee" and take on the humanitarian crisis that is happening right now; the flow of refugees and Europe closed borders.


Working on a playable demo which I hope to have up after Christmas. 

FairGame är ett spelföretag som syftar till att synliggöra nutida samhällsproblem genom att utveckla spel som väcker empati, skapar opinion och debatt. Spelen kan användas för att diskutera moraliska och etiska frågor såväl i skolan som privat. Ekonomisk vinst från spelen kommer att användas till hjälpprojekt inom spelets tema. Första spelet heter ”Refugee” och tar sig an den humanitära kris som sker just nu; flyktingströmmen och Europas stängda gränser.

Hygeia kills her Serpent acrylic on canvas framed (work in progress)

And an angel came onto me "thine eyes shall behold" and I beheld. These paintings are the visions that I have been bestown. The Godesses are not pleased, we have moved on and forgotten them. Hygeia has killed her serpant, Venus floats on her face, her birth not such a pretty sight, the Madonna is at best indifferent to the child and the crab...
