Had so much fun making art for this! And designing some little frog-type space explorers 🐸

Nice! I got the deck that night too - 9 of coins is one of my favourites in it, I've had it on my desk all week

Also check out the completely unnecessary website I made for this, a tribute to bygone days on Geocities: dreamgame.ca

dreamgame.eventbrite.com

For Toronto folks, announcing Dream Game Incorporated, a one-day event where you make the art, and we make the game a reality! Come on down to draw and create game assets that we’ll immediately program into a playable game.

Free/PWYC, all ages
June 15th, 1-8PM at Hideaway Studios, 1586 Dupont St

A Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin
The Tombs of Atuan - Ursula K. Le Guin*
Annihilation - Jeff VanderMeer
The Farthest Shore - Ursula K. Le Guin

The books in reading order are:
Glowrushes - Roberto Piumini
Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky

Here are all the books I read in 2024, in illustrated form! I kept an ongoing canvas throughout the year, and added an element for each book once I finished it. Illustration size doesn't correspond to how much I liked the book, except for Piranesi, which is a part of my soul now.

First page done in a Book of Hours style zine I’m working on - a tribute to early days (and late late nights) on Windows 98

Toronto Games Week, June 11-17 2025 torontogamesweek.com A painterly view of the city of Toronto, encapsulated by a gold frame, but the city extends out past it. The top and the bottom of the poster are covered in clouds. Poster created by Caitlin Russell.

We're so happy to reveal our poster for 2025, created by Caitlin Russell. A lovely overview of Toronto, offering a glimpse into the playful events that take place during Toronto Games Week!
