New fun art! I was inspired by classic box art like Super Mario Land and by the personalities of my subjects! Ancillary characters such as Gatorider may be spun off into their own franchises (speculation only). Available on a range of merchandise on the K&K store!
We teamed up with the incredible @davidhellman to create our next line of community-inspired merch, this time in the video game adventure we've always imagined for ourselves! Catch the exclusive design in our online store for a limited time on clothing, accessories and more.

in this circumstance all animals should be freed!
The Zoo has closed due to national weather emergency and tsunami warning. Guests have been evacuated, animals secured and staff have moved to higher ground.

In Arranger, the goopy substance called STATIC is congealed human spiritual rigidity, or resistance to change based on fear. In practical terms, it won’t budge. Here’s a raft of design alternatives. QUIZ 1. Which would you eat? 2. Which would you throw in a fire?

I’m so glad I got to be a part of this and to have forged such a great relationship with my colleagues. Thank you so much @davidhellman for the feature!
Was Arranger the work of a solitary genius auteur or the collective dream of a nameless multitude? It has to be one or the other!! This is a clip; watch the FULL VID youtu.be/YbbpStG5Ms0?si=T9og… Every1 told me they like this vid (ppl w/the capacity 2 b cruel) so pls enjoy confidently!

This is David (Hellman). This is an unused monster design from Arranger. You can see the brutality in his eye while the purple goo (later dubbed "static") inhabits him. He's evil but capable. The ears becoming shoulder pads is the best idea I had between 2017-22 (don't steal it)

Please give to my friend Ahmad in Gaza. 🇵🇸 Thanks to donations they replaced their tent destroyed by bombs. Now they're growing vegetables, & got flour. The family shared the joy of warm bread. They work hard, but many hardships remain. PLEASE GIVE & SHARE gofund.me/31bfefd7

Hellman here. I drew this map when we were pitching Arranger, and had finished a first pass on the intro town. These strange yellow temples, they served a gameplay concept. Town in ruins, fortified complex above, poisoned river… What survived in adapted form, what was lost?

This is Hellman. More early story sketches from Arranger. There was a time when every town had its own beloved idol, revered and pampered. Woe to the victims when the idols are suffering from a mood disorder. Do you recognize this gate w/ the figure above? It changed…
