A group of colourful cards, spread out in a fan, from the event Haggle on the Grange at Toronto Games Week 2025.
I also got to work with my friend Mikhail on his set of cards for his event, Haggle on the Grange; a large scale version of Sid Sackson's card game Haggle.
I designed the cards! The set uses @caitrustle.bsky.social's beautiful #TGW25 poster art, combined with flavour text from Mikhail.

Metroid Crime takes a selfie but it's in the middle of a forest and the background is blurry so it's kinda cryptid looking.
Hanging out with the @ladyarcaders.com all weekend at the various Toronto Games Week events was a lot of fun! #TGW25
I cherish being able to do this type of thing, I meet so many amazing people and it's really special 🥺💜

Toronto Games Week 2025 was such a cool time, folks 🥰
I know it's like 2 weeks later, but I've finally settled down to write out some thoughts about the event & Out of Bounds 2ronto!
I'm so honoured to have been a part of TGW staff this year, working behind the scenes was a blast! #TGW25

A Toronto Games Week poster featuring a stylized illustration of various city landmarks, next to a sunlit window with a shelf of plants, and a hanging rainbow-coloured hot air balloon decoration.
Three tarot cards sit on a slatted wooden bench: The nine of coins The seven of cups The three of wands The cards are illustrated with retro game aesthetics, with a limited colour palette and chunky pixel sprites.
Realized I neglected to post the cherries on top of my Toronto Games Week last week:
• Getting this gorgeous poster signed by @caitrustle.bsky.social (thanks @jimmunroe.net!)
• Getting a tarot reading (and a gorgeous video game themed deck) from @droqen.bsky.social

Two books sitting side-by-side: • Zeroed Out, a sci-fi rom-com by Jim Munroe and Eric Kim • The Husbands, a novel by Holly Gramazio The first has a purple cover with yellow illustrations of a man and woman, jutting diagonally from the bottom-left and top-right, respectively, and a circular op-art figure in white in the background. "Munroe is a fantastic writer" reads the endorsement from Cory Doctorow The second has an off-white cover with an illustration of a ladder leading up to a black parallelogram marking the entrance to an attic. The title spills down the ladder. "A time-bending gem" and "Very, very, funny" read endorsements from Gabrielle Zevin and Claire Lombardo, respectively.

A picture of the downtown Toronto skyline from the other side of a small body of water. There is a tour boat departing from the land in the foreground. Framing the picture is a graphic of a modern smartphone on its side as if someone is taking a landscape oriented photo. Within the confines of the smartphone are several pokemon scattered across the landscape. A Drifloon floats in the middle of the sky holding the logo for Lady Arcaders Out of Bounds 2ronto with its feet.
