J9 Studios

Welcome to J9 Studios! (previously Powerstation Studios)

The studio is primarily a place where either myself or Jordaaan can work freely. I don't actively promote the studio, but do lease the studio out to a handful of trusted people, and happy to continue doing this. If you are new to the studio, either myself or my glamorous assistant John (Orpentog) will be present until we comfortable you're able to fly solo.

As for the studio itself, it's 8x5m (26'x16') with a high 4m (13') ceiling. It's fully enclosed with no windows, allowing you full control over the lighting! The old building the studio resides in boasts corridors galore, a wide stairwell, a lift, fire escapes, large windows, and the exterior is red brick.
