Queer Games Exhibit + Kickstarter
Hello, everyone! I haven't been able to make much pixel art this past year, but I'm super excited to share what I've been working on the past couple of months!
I've been organizing FREE PLAY! Richmond, VA's first queer video games exhibit hosted at The Iridian Gallery, the only LGBTQ-focused exhibit in the southern U.S. (more under the cut)
We're running a kickstarter campaign to help cover the costs of the exhibit. We're also hoping to secure artist honorarium anD get gameboy cartridges, zines and other merch created!
If you all could share and support the kickstarter, it would mean so so much to me!
For the past couple of months, we built custom displays for all nine of our games!! and paid for transporting, printing, everything, so that our devs could focus on their games :)
Galleries often take 50% (or more) of artists' commissions! Not only that, but making, transporting, and installing artwork can get pretty expensive! The high price point makes it really hard for artists and game devs to share noncommercial artworks. It's our mission to help mitigate these costs and make it more accessible for game devs to share their art!
Your support will go a long way to making this project sustainable! And will help many queer game devs share their work :)
THE SHOW OPENS THIS FRIDAY! We're having a HUGE PARTY on January 12th @7pm! You're totally invited!

FINALLY got to try pawpaws during that brief time when they’re edible. I can see why old-timey Americans were so excited about them back before you could buy dragonfruit and pineapples year-round at the grocery store but i don’t know that anyone needs to make a special trip to the region to try them, they’re kinda like “what if mangos were tasted a bit less good and had the texture of avocados”
