Images for InspoI've compiled some low fidelity illustrations and some pictures of creatives I admire. I've always been amazed by how the lore of some characters can transcend mediums. Since I am aiming to achieve what so many greats before me have done, I have included some images of them to remind myself of my objective and further inform the judges of my mission.

Feasibility of WeeBees: Seeds of Wonder ProjectThe WeeBees: Seeds of Wonder project is both ambitious and feasible, grounded in clear goals, achievable milestones, and strong partnerships. With a clear timeline in place, the project’s components—game development, art production, and the interactive event—are structured to ensure consistent progress over the course of 30 days.My experience as an artist (10 years), combined with my growing familiarity with GameSalad for game development, ensures that I can produce a polished demo of Level 1 in a manageable timeframe. To support the technical aspects of the show, I am collaborating with DSDI (received a verbal confirmation already in the event I am selected), a trusted non-profit that specializes in projection mapping, ensuring that the event’s interactive component is executed smoothly. Additionally, my partnership with Illegal Pete’s adds a fun and thematic touch to the show while further enhancing community engagement.With these collaborations and a focused approach, I am confident that the project can be brought to life effectively within the time and budget constraints. The detailed planning ensures that each stage—game design, art creation, event setup—will be executed efficiently, making the project not only realistic but an exciting milestone for me as a creator.
