i’m excited to announce i’ve received a grant from Ontario Arts Council for a small new game i’m working on!

the game is (of course) about death and grief and inspired by mount pleasant cemetery here in toronto 💀🪦🌸

i’m deeply grateful for this opportunity from OAC and feel so privileged and lucky to live in a province that has arts funding for games. arts funding is so so so important and i would not be able to make this project without their support!!

i’m working on this game with some of my favourite people and can’t wait to talk more about it soon 💕

here’s my #artvsartist for 2023! my goal with my personal art over this past year was to focus on non-digital artwork — i learned how to tattoo, finally participated in famicase, had a thrifted art piece in a gallery, and made and gifted a fictional snes cartridge to one of my favourite drag queens

in 2024 i want to get back to making digital 3D work (it’s been a while and i feel out of practice ) and shipping a lil personal game i’ve been working on…

thanks for all the love over the past year / the support while i took a break and ventured into new mediums !!!

made a custom SNES case for the very very gorgeous and very stunning Juno Birch! 👽 Juno is one of my all time fav drag queens and artists and it was so lovely meeting her in person!

baby’s first self tattoo 🥰 i did this virgo constellation in brown ink so that when it heals it’ll blend in with my freckles !!

icymi i've been learning how to tattoo over the last few months :)

my first gallery showing!!!!!!  had so much fun making this lil ghostie piece for Northern Contemporary's "Fix Up Look Sharp" show :) on until March 7 at 420 Roncesvalles Ave !!

one of my goals for 2023 was to learn tattooing! it’s been something i’ve wanted to learn for so long and it’s extremely fun + satisfying in a way that’s very different from making video game art

i’m really proud of my progress so far and can’t wait to see how i keep improving!!

[gabdar]

i had the absolute pleasure of making some COOL WEIRD ART for Nobody Saves the World’s new free update, incl the moon tent (a ref to A Trip to the Moon) and the gross popcorn stand (a ref to Banjo Tooie lol)
