Hello everyone! I hope the beginning of fall has treated you well.

I’ve been playing lots of games this month! The idea of play is very important to me and my art practice, so I’m grateful I’ve gotten to tap into that more! I’ve been mostly playing by myself, but birthday celebrations included trying out Blood on the Clocktower with some friends, which was a great time!

Solo journaling games are a lot of fun for me, but I have trouble sitting down and playing them. For example, I picked up Necromancer Heretic by Junk Food Games back in February for a book club that I never ended up going to 😅 I finally got around to it, and I had a lovely time! This piece came from my playthrough. I hope I can play & make art for more solo games in the future.

My partner and I have been playing a lot of Sovereign Tower together, which is a gorgeous game about managing the knights of a kingdom. I definitely brought that into this piece for the game project we’re collaborating on! It’s the first time I’ve worked on someone else’s writing, and I’m excited to see how it all comes together.

I hope this month I can enjoy more games & keep getting inspired! Maybe I’ll start making my way through the backlog haunting my itch.io account.
