ALT A poster for Toronto Games Week, June 13-19, 2024: a celebration of playful arts and culture. The poster is a light cream colour with a stylized logo. There are many characters and objects illustrated on the page connected with thin lines, like an arcade cabinet with arms and legs, a sad monster mushroom, a plant, eyeglasses, a cat, and a game wizard.

Just read through this and loved it. I think it portraits super well a lot of feelings of the work-life.

ALT An illustration of a person waking up in bed, and entering into an impossibly busy workday. It's a page of a comic and visually packed with stuff to imply that work is an existential nightmare ribboning around a life, like a noose.
