Watercolor artist and bakery aficionado. Hello! I am a non-binary watercolor artist in Northern California, and my work is largely about the transformational nature of Death Work. I believe that we go through several different life and death cycles throughout the course of our lives, and that we can approach these times of hard transition and renewal with a sense of radical beauty and furious joy. “Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found in us.” -Pema Chödrön In my work I often use imagery of skulls to illustrate that indestructible piece of self. So often we see skull art as dark art, and so I get a huge kick out of using soft colors and surrounding my subjects with flowers to illustrate themes of vulnerability, beauty, and strength. I love to find these things in the places where I have been taught to feel ashamed. You can find more of my work online in these places! Website / instagram / tiktok / bluesky /patreon

Hi, I'm Manda! The main thing about me is that I love to create. Whether it's crafting, print and play board games, cosplay, sewing, embroidery, wood crafting, or 3D printing, I'm always looking for new projects to dive into. Right now, my biggest craft project is restoring our new-to-us 1850s urban home. It's been an incredible challenge, but also incredibly rewarding to see this piece of history come back to life. I'm a storyteller, designer, play tester, dungeon master, creator, and now game designer. My first game design is The Establishment: Inner Workings of a Secret Cabal. With The Establishment's launch, I've combined my love of crafting engaging stories and developing new gaming mechanics in a new, interactive way. When I'm not working on my house or creating something new, you can usually find me spending time with my cats and other foster pets. Thanks for checking out my profile, and I hope you'll consider supporting my projects!

Meowdy! I'm PaletteGhost, a digital illustrator who loves to draw with aesthetic, bold colors.  I'm currently hosting my third crowdfunding campaign, after hosting two very successful enamel pin campaigns. My dream is to bring my illustrations into accessories and apparel that can be used and seen in everyday life.  Outside of this campaign, I love to attend various artists alleys at anime conventions here in the US. I've been to Anime Expo, Animazement, Nan Desu Kan, Planet Comic Con KC, Anime Frontier, and other various smaller sized conventions. I will also soon be visiting Anime Boston and AMKE for the first time!

Art for those who value the mysteries of the natural world... Where conservation, science and spirituality collide- all to bring awareness to Earth's sacred beauty and need for protection. I am a born and raised Floridian. Growing upon the edge of the swamp shaped my passion for nature, ecosystems and animals. Incorporating genuine ground gemstone paints into most of my work, a love for the watercolor medium comes through; showcasing the granulating textures and organic, unpredictable spirit of the paint which works perfectly for nature art. Since 2020, I have illustrated 13 children’s books, 2 of which I wrote as well. In 2025 I started to explore the world of divination with the release of the Floridian Mythos Oracle deck. I loves this avenue of art because I have a passionate for connecting to nature on a deeper level. I have ran 4 successful Kickstarter campaigns and with the help of Backerkit I funded my first group collab project "Horseshoe Crabs Through Time". It was a warm welcome by the amazing community here and I will be running more accessory projects where I can collaborate with the other talented artists of Backerkit!

My goal was to make a game company that made irreverent comedy games that would exist where my favourite punk bands existed, kind of consistently at the top of the underground scene. So I applied DIY punk rock work ethic to games and it's led to over 20 published games as lead designer! I've run just over 10 crowdfunding campaigns, I'm excited to try one on a new site and Backerkit has built a great reputation over the yeras. Beyond that, I travel to a lot of conventions and meeting meeting different people who each have their story to tell. I also enjoy bragging about my biceps on social media. They are VERY BIG.
