Edit: We recorded this interview early august and Tim's views on NFTs, crypto and Ai have shifted towards a negative side due to current situations in the past few months he is pro regulation to make sure all artists and people in general aren’t ripped off or taken advantage of and he believes we need to do all we can to protective our work and ourselves. Tim and I met randomly online but it's been fun picking his hard surface brain for all manner of cool stuff. Tim spent his days working contracts to eventually land at 343 where he's worked on multiple Halo projects including the latest and greatest Halo Infinite. We chatted about his early career and breaking into the industry as well as tips to stay a float on contract work when times are tough.

I've been a fan of Outplay for a long time ever since I went back to university in 2015. Outplay are one of the biggest mobile developers not only in the UK and Scotland but in the EU also. They've partnered with brands like Rovio working on Angry Bird titles including a new mobile game featuring Gordon Ramsey. I talked to their CEO about their brand and their journey from conception to their current form.

Henrik and me go way back, we started out studying in the same art group in 2014 and quickly became buddies chatting back and forth. A few years went by and we tried to catch up and I was floored how far he had came in the last 5 years. What prompted me to get him on was not only his recent clients (including Blizzard) but the fact so many people were talking about his dedication to style. Henrik's voice in the art world is one of the most genuine I've ever seen and it was an absolute pleasure to talk to him again. Thanks again to Henrik for coming on the podcast and giving up his time.
