Went to Tokyo’s Ghost in the Shell exhibition. Special thanks to @liamwong.com for the recommendation.

My pal and fellow Scottish developer Chris Brown recently put his solo-dev racing game AGX GP up on Steam and you should definitely give it a look if you like AAA Wipeout visuals with ridiculously-fast twitch arcade gameplay. store.steampowered.com/app/4250680/...

It was beautiful seeing the haar, cycled around Royal Mile whilst it was empty. The staircase is taken from the bottom of The Vennel steps in the Grass Market.

Of course, happy for artists to use my works for personal use, studies etc :) Thank you

Photography by Liam Wong of Edinburgh at night in the fog. Warm brown colors over the old architecture of Edinburgh's old town: The Royal Mile. Many street lamps have a soft glow to them beyond the fog. The streets are cobbled.

Edinburgh after dark

by the bane of my blade, a mighty spell is made and
far beyond the battle blood shall fall like a hard rain

Full circle, hanging with The Weeknd who inspired many of my photographs ☔️

I did get to spend a few trips there last year! It’s growing on me

Some more for ya!

Yeah I went to the Shirow exhibit also, which was small in comparison to this one - GiTS exhibit is more extensive, ridiculous amount of merchandise too, don’t think I’ve seen one so big and I’ve been to a lot of anime exhibits. Shirow had a lot of scans from the book, this one had originals.

You could spend a couple hours just looking at all of the art. Cels and sketches of characters, weapons, environments, fashion, color swatches, textures, signage & graphic design. Recommended! 🫶

Yeah it was beautiful! I felt more for this than the Mona Lisa haha.

Highly recommend for artists visiting Tokyo, they also have computers where you can just view all of the high resolution TIF scans of artworks, textures and background art.

Urban cityscape from Ghost in the Shell depicting tall, weathered Hong Kong styled apartment buildings with scaffolding, signage, and dense industrial detail under a hazy sky.

Went to the opening of the Ghost in The Shell exhibit in Tokyo, on now until April.

Thank you so much

Thank you
