Now available: NPPD Rush Steam trading cards featuring artwork by Illarterate
Oh my, how could I have missed this? As of 27 July, you can collect Steam trading cards featuring designs by Illarterate from Railslave’s NPPD Rush: Milk of Ultra Violet game. Apparently that date has passed, but I wouldn’t know – I live in 1994. But then, you can probably tell from the style of […]
International Teletext Art Festival 2014: Not a walkthrough of Illarterate’s TXTPunk
In previous years, I have posted detailed walkthroughs of my entries for the last two editions of the International Teletext Art Festival.

NPPD Rush: The Milk of Ultra Violet now available for download
Hey, sir (or madam)! Have you been going through life without experiencing the joy of video games? No? Then, Mr Snow, I believe it is high time you stopped believing all that nonsense about games ‘rotting your brain’ or ‘wasting your life’. While this may be true, you are conveniently overlooking the positive aspects of […]
Illarterate interviewed for Digital Arts Online // International Teletext Art Festival 2013
Fashionably late as usual, I posthumously bring you news of my contribution to Digital Arts Online‘s interactive design column. Kind of. Earlier this year, I was delighted to participate in a short interview regarding the current/most recent iteration of the International Teletext Art Festival and my own working practices. And you can read it here, […]
