So I made silly music today, which snowballed into drawing a silly crab, then making a silly video. So I hope you enjoy the "Crustacean Convenience Store" 🎶🦀

It's been a joy to be a part of this project and to see it come to fruition. I hope you enjoy creating your own little islands bustling with trains, flora and fauna!

I worked on the music (alongside Chopin, you may have heard of him) for this cute little animation, "A Neighbour Duet", by Veda Lee, now streaming on YouTube! 🎶

I’m very grateful to have @julieelven.bsky.social singing on this score for a game project! Your voice adds so much beauty to the piece 💜✨

for some wild reason, I wrote music that kind of reminded me of a clueless goblin building a house. So then I drew a silly goblin and put the music with it. It made my husband and I chuckle at least 😅

In Love, Ghostie you can make your residents go on awkward dates together! When that happens, this awkward music plays 🙉 Even though it sounds ridiculous, I’m really quite proud of it! 🥲🎶
