2024 was the year that I went back to working traditionally in a big way after decades of digital. Some of it was personal, some of it for my Dark Shepherd project and debut novel. I have been lucky in that I sold every piece of art I created. So here are my nine picks of the year, both digital and traditional, none are AI.

Happy New Year to you all and all the best for 2025.

The two approach a mysterious, still functioning mechanism at the heart of derelict.

The two astronauts fall into the organic, twisted interior of the derelict.

From a POV just above the derelict hull the two astronauts approach. Space is littered with debris and wreckage.

Two astronauts, tiny against the hull of an ancient alien derelict. The scene is lit by floodlights from their salvage ship in the background.

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
