😈AI S.A.M.😈 art by and voiced by 🥹🙏🏼❤️

I knew immediately when sitting down to write the GDCAs that I wanted to frame the show around an AI trying to steal my job the whole time. But the AI needed a face, and a voice—and that meant I needed collaborators way more talented than I!!

ENTER GAME CONCEPT ARTIST Katie Conard (who is AVAILABLE TO HIRE!). Katie crushed the concept, and even colour-coordinated her to match the GDCA scheme. Watching the concepting process was such a blast—she is SO CRAZY TALENTED AND FUNNY—and I’m so lucky to have been able to work with Katie on this. 🙏🏼

AND SPEAKING OF LUCKY, the beautiful connected me with the absolutely brilliant who jumped onto the idea right away, and was instrumental in shaping the script and voice for AI S.A.M. They are such a phenomenal collaborator and artist and truly just a dream to have on-stage. I cannot believe with how busy they are and how many moving pieces there were (with very limited rehearsal time!) that we pulled this off, thanks to their skill and professionalism 🙏🏼

AI S.A.M. lives on in my heart (and in hell) 🥰💙💜
