JMD WORKS
G'day,
Welcome to small corner of the internet. I’m Joe, an Aussie artist and writer who has been scribbling in the boarders notebooks for as long as I can remember. Raised on a good dose of comics, games, fantasy and sci-fi, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art in 2008 with my first piece of professional writing appearing on-line in 2018. I am currently working on my first book, The History of SEGA.
Thanks very much for stopping by; please feel free to poke around. I hope you enjoy what you see. 😁

19/02/25 - Geeky Update
If you take a look at the top right of the screen you might notice a new menu item; Geek. As the name suggests, this is about the various geeky projects and hobbies I have. I've made a whole new Collections page as well which links from there, as well linking out to the Phantom 2040 Archive. Over time I'll add more to this as I've a few other things in the pipeline, but I'll update about these as an when.

05/12/24 - History of SEGA Book Cover Reveal
It's been a little while since I last posted an update on the History of SEGA, but rest assured things have been going well. I recently received a PDF proof of what the interior layout of the book will look like, and I'm pretty happy with it. There are a few things that need tweaking, but overall I'm very happy with it.
The book is set to release in September 2025, with pre-orders opening in June of that year. Obviously, I'll share the links to this as and when.
For the moment though, I can share an image of what will be the book's front cover. As I mentioned before, it's pretty cool! You can see it on the main History of SEGA page.
Also, I'm now on BlueSky. Feel free to come on over and say hello.

My editor today sent me a mock up for the History of SEGA book cover. It looks amazing! I can't share it just yet as it needs a few more tweaks, but I'm very happy with it. I'll of course post an image as soon as I can.
