Beads by Alyssa (@beads.by.alyssa)

Beads by Alyssa was created in December 2024 by a young indigenous two-spirit individual, Alyssa Gordon. Alyssa learned how to bead from elders in their home community located in northern Manitoba. They started this little side business in hopes to help share and build within the beading community. They love to work in traditional, contemporary and alternative designs, the variety helps gives them the freedom to create. Their products consist of; beaded earrings, keychains, pins and occasionally framed beadwork! Alyssa believes that beading is good medicine and hopes to share that with everyone who supports them!

I am Logan Wiebe, an artist turned graphic designer and recent graduate from RRC Polytech. Though I am expanding my horizons through graphic design, I still adore creating art involving mystery and horror on a scale from silly to macabre. It has been a long term goal of mine to create all these things and share them with others who understand these passions. My style revolves around bold colour and sharp angles and I am always trying to experiment with anything new.

deonys.monster (@deonys)

Deonys The Villain is an experimental concept of pirate royalty combined with vampire witch. He focuses on mixing Filipino folklore with medieval mythology and personal experience, creating poignant political commentary and symbolism in his work through surreal, nightmarish imagery. This is done through acknowledging the colonial effects of history, intergenerational trauma, as well as other potentially taboo topics that we can all relate to.

Currently, he's relearning how to express himself as a wandering merchant at local street markets and as an alchemist that weaves storytelling with spirituality to create meaning out of the mess, transforming old perceptions into new perspectives. Sometimes, when near the sea and home; he thinks and writes about hope for the future.
