Alright, the last of my Magic the Gathering draft & play boosters boxes are now up on ebay.
These are all boxes I did art for and have been in my collection, but I need to clear out space in the studio.
I've got 9 up for buy-it-now or auction here 👉 https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?item=147254151008&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211&_ssn=denmanrooke

Lovely 10 Year commemorative enamel pin from this year's IMIRT AGM.
I got to design this logo years ago, so I was thrilled when IMIRT reached out to me to update the logo. My favourite bit was switching out the D20 for a D10 for this commemoration (2015-2025).

It's why the worker cooperative model is so attractive to me as I grow into a team based project. We'll be baking in the collaborative nature of indie games right into the legal framework of our company. One person won't be able to absorb the value (profit) created by another collaborator's labour.

The auteur (a company owner) gets to continue living their dream of trying to make their next game. I know this isn't every indie out there. But it's very prevalent. A lot of indie games are made by a collaborative team of creators and we need to push back against this idea of the auteur. I hate it.
