I’m Amanda, and I’m making art and writing games and thinking about new kinds of animals. I’ll be sharing art (including lots of spot art that’s free to use in your zines & rpgs!) and a series of illustrated adventures.
When I can’t sleep I draw pictures of whales & haunted houses & and I will be sharing things like that too.
I’m the author of You Got A Job On The Garbage Barge and a bunch of other rpgs (https://amandalee.itch.io/) and I’ve made illustrations for many more, including The Between, Mausritter, and covers for Codex Magazine.
Your support will enable my excellent habit of staying up till 3am drawing giraffe centaurs.
