  • Lost Phone: A Zoom Play by J. B. Pichelski

    While in lockdown I’ve been trying my best to keep up with writing. I’m now really excited to announce that my next play will be hosted on Zoom! It’ll be a short play about trans-allyship with a discussion at the end of it. Click here for more details on the show as well as how…

  • Bug Count

    I’ve been working on a new coding project this month. Here’s a new game I made for the TeenyTiny DragonRuby MiniGameJam. All you have to do is count how many bugs (green squares) are on the screen and click on the correct answer. It’s very simple but it does get progressively harder the more you…

  • Nirvana Mall

    While in lockdown, I took part in a 24 hour playwriting challenge organised by Emberfly Theatre. The theme they gave us was ‘Utopia’. I had 12 hours to write a short monologue based around that theme before it was given to an actor to perform on camera. My monologue, Nirvana Mall, was performed by Hannah…

  • New Header Image

    Since I came out as transgender, I’ve felt that my old header image by Abbigayle Bircham no longer fit who I am as a person, so I’ve had a new banner which I commissioned from artist and video game developer Alayna Butterfly. (@fluttergirly on Twitter) I really liked the original consept and I’m glad that…

  • Sam: A Short Film by J. B. Pichelski & Abbigayle Bircham

    This short film has been in the works for a very long time, but I’m excited to finally release it online. It tells the story of Sam, an amateur photographer who discovers a world of new and magical subjects to photograph. I made it with artist and filmmaker Abbigayle Bircham between 2015 and 2017.

  • Scenic Reality Production Shots

    I’m really happy with how our 2019 Camden Fringe production of Scenic Reality has turned out. We’ve all been working so hard to bring this show to the stage and I’m really proud of our cast for putting so much work into realising their characters. This is definitely not the last we’ll be working on…

  • Scenic Reality is Coming to The Camden Fringe!

    Ever since Scenic Reality was performed as a very successful rehearsed reading at The Hope Theatre last year, Samantha and I have been really excited about giving the show a proper run. I can now announce that that time has arrived! Scenic Reality is coming to The Hen & Chickens Theatre this August as part…

  • Old World

    Here’s a little game I made over a couple of days. I made it using the Môsi game engine. You can play it on itch.io or in the box below. Use the arrow keys to control the character.

  • Scenic Reality – Thank You!

    It’s now been a couple of weeks since Scenic Reality was performed as a rehearsed reading at the Hope Theatre last month. I’ve had some time to digest all the feedback from everyone who came to see the reading and begin working on the next edit of the play. I’d like to thank Abbigayle Bircham,…

  • Scenic Reality – Behind the Scenes

    Yesterday the full cast, Samantha Wright and I got together for the first time to rehearse the rehearsed reading for Scenic Reality. I made a short behind the scenes video while the rehearsal was in progress. (Photographs below)
