It’s funny how life and timing play out when it comes to your dreams. Take me for instance, I wanted to be a ballerina and tell stories through the fluidity of my movements, without the need of words, to convey meaning with my body, however, we didn’t have the money growing up, so I choreographed my own. I wanted to be a Broadway star and tell stories through the…
I am naturally an extrovert. I thrive around people, being social, being active, interacting and engaging with my surroundings and all that surrounds me!
I love to host, I love to bring people out of their shells, I love to be the first one on the dance floor, sharing my creativity and inspiring others to do the same. I love to hear what other people are passionate about –…
Mark Foster on Imagination: “i think the quality that makes us distinctly human is our ability to live in duality. we comprehend the present external world we’re in, while having an internal dialogue about what it all means. we can be our own best friends. we can be our own mortal enemy. we can ski the alps in the peak of summer from under our bed covers at night. we can sail the high seas with Yeats and pick his brain about the afterlife in the holy city of Byzantium. we can fall in love with a stranger that passes us on the street; forming a complete history and future with a person we’ve never even spoken to. our internal life is a universe, worthy to be explored and engaged. a dangerous place full of desires, undiscovered and unfulfilled. in our imagination we can escape our reality and create a new one.”
Once upon a time two young ladies encountered their Mum’s best friend and discovered that she drew a personal character called The V.S.G. (Very Smaul Gitt).

A little while later, I sent an illustration back to say thanks.
This resulted in another heartfelt request, with illustrations from both.
Here is a snippet of the Cabergame in motion! (a.k.a. “Happy Funtime Pop Balloon.” :D)
(edit - I see that the little films from Instagram don’t cross-post so well - a pity!)
One of the highlights for me, from 2020, was being able to bring the Cabers to life in not only animated form and illustrated storytelling, but also in an interactive style as well!
One of the last weekly challenges of the year had the theme of “Collaboration.” I teamed up with caLLowCreation, (a delightful coder/programmer - and poet! - who streams on Twitch), who generously pitched in his Unity coding skills which we combined with my artwork/audio contributions, to make a little clicking game.
(The original inspiration for this, comes from the illustration “A Demise Most Imminent.” :) )
Note - not quite phone-friendly just yet (although doable!), but fine on most computers and iPads. :)
Also, thank you all for the support you have given me through this past year! I hope this little sandbox game provides a happy moment of distraction and balloon-popping joy. :) May you have a year of happiness from unexpected places! _ K.j. Wright, aka TheCaberworld. :)
