In December 2009 Dock became the artist for Minecraft, working alongside the sole developer, Markus Persson.{{cite web|url=http://notch.tumblr.com/post/295397619/the-minecraft-artist-is-dock|title=The Minecraft artist is Dock|access-date=22 December 2009|archive-date=25 March 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100325210912/http://notch.tumblr.com/post/295397619/the-minecraft-artist-is-dock|url-status=dead}} He designed some of the first characters in the game, as well as an unused logo. However he soon left in February, 2010 due to work-related issues. His art style and character designs were significantly distinct from what Minecraft would eventually use.
In January 2010 he released an iPhone game called Tumbledrop. Tumbledrop was nominated as a finalist for 'Technical Achievement' award at IGF Mobile 2010{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}}.
