I’ve been pretty busy this week so there’s only a few pictures today:

Image: Indies Assemble

An illustration made for Jumpbutton Magazine featuring the assorted heroes of the more recent indie darlings. Neat little picture and if you click through you can get it in wallpaper size for a variety of devices. Also part of this illustration is something I’ve seen popping up more often recently: A sort of polygon-art effect.

And another issue of Sunday Links. This time with a lot of articles. Mainly because I finally found time to catch up on some of my reading backlog.
