Big thank you to everyone who came to my game taster sessions today, and extra thank you to @manxnature, UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man and @IOMArtsCouncil for supporting this project!
It was a privilege to be part of @CartooningMonk’s final exhibition as the UNESCO Biosphere IoM Artist in Residence with @manxnature (supported by @IOMArtsCouncil) today. Some great ideas came out of the ‘Reimagining our Biosphere’ game 🌍 #TeamWilder
