In July of 2020, a video game studio called The Game Band launched an unassuming browser-based game called Blaseball, which started as a baseball simulator, and things got a little out of hand after that. I quickly signed up to root for the Hades Tigers, and after my logo design for the team became a fan favorite, I found myself working with Blaseball Cares, a volunteer non-profit artist collective making and selling blaseball merchandise on Shopify, and donating all the profits (over $90K so far!) to charity. I’m the group’s most prolific designer and production artist, and once I was promoted into staff, I managed and art directed larger community projects, such as Tlopps, Vlogue and more.
