It’s a challenge to choose which of the GTA ladies I like best but Lamborghini Girl is in the top 3. I know it’s not a Lamborghini.She really wants a Lamborghini. Who is your favorite? You can’t say my ex-wife. Bloody cover image is too lo-rez, forgive me. Not editing this again - took first half of Argentina game and into second half ffs

In the early nineties, after 4 years of modeling and working in Japan, I returned to London; earning a living doing editorial work and various jobs in the games industry: writing and painting comic strips for Sonic the Comic, customizing Gameboys for Nintendo (lifestyle press) and painting illustrations like this Mario map (maybe for the comic, not sure). All work back then was painted by hand, including the lettering—using acrylic and gouache on paper, before buying my first Mac.

Wild Bunch Sound System was made up of the founding members of Massive Attack. Robert from the band commissioned me to paint this logo—described what he wanted et voila. Pencil on paper, bio on paper, then painted by hand in acrylics. This color version is a digital image I painted a few years ago. Then I got the commissioned to paint the Massive Attack v Mad Professor “No Protection”album cover. Rockstar Games loved that cover, and along with loving my t-shirt label Steroid, offered me the job as Senior Artist. #art #design #music

400 pages into 1st rough draft of my FC book. Spent most of this year, including 5 weeks in Costa Rica focusing only on writing. I’ve been working on FC visuals since 2022 so streamlining them into a coherent written narrative seemed to be the best way to expand the FC universe

Nun image inspired by both Warriors and Ms.45 movies. Ms.45 is a great 1970’s movie—a woman, dressed as a nun, gets revenge on her abusers. In FC the LES.45s gang dress as nuns, live in the Lower East Side of FC, so they’re called the LES.45s. Graff logo by @TheRealAmuse126

Phillipo Languini/Thumper, teenage vigilante, wears a rabbit mask that’s infected by an evil entity. It gives him great fighting skills, and uses Phillipo to kill criminals. The power is addictive, but when the kills become indiscriminate he has a choice: go full monster? or not?

Pepito Languini and wife Seraphini, parents of Phillipo Languini aka Thumper. When your dad covers his naked enemies in cat food and throws them into a pit of ravenous feral cats … well, you don’t really stand a chance of growing up to be a regular law abiding citizen.

Phillipo Languini aka Thumper. Teen vigilante. Son of Pepito and Seraphini Languini, heads of the Languini crime syndicate.

Painting the cover for GTA3 is why I was flown over to NYC by Rockstar. They really looked after me, putting me up in a suite at the Gramercy hotel, then a 3000 sq ft apartment close by. I used to skateboard around the flat. It was amazing being there and experiencing how the GTA games exploded, how people went crazy for them, how revolutionary the games were. This is from The Face magazine.
