Hey it's #portfolioday, I'm currently looking for work and have experience doing pixel art and animation, voxel art, and low-poly 3D, as well as art/creative direction, UI design, and game design.
Full portfolio 🎨 ckjong.artstation.com
Pixel art scene of two characters talking near a thatch house. The house is next to a stream with stones, cattails, and lily pads, a small wooden bridge, and a rice paddy. To the left of the house there is a basket of rice drying in the sun and laundry hanging on a clothesline next to some ferns and bamboo. On the right of the screen is a scroll with dialogue options, discussing a kidnapped lapdog and what action to take next. On the bottom left are UI elements enclosed by a sickle and a blue wooden frame, including icons of a sun, a light-bulb, a scale, a bullet, a gear, a compass, and a photograph, with flowers and grass sprouting from the bottom of the screen. Pixel art of four potion bottles and four crystals on a gray background. Potions are green, orange, purple, and pinkish-beige. Below is a green emerald, orange amber, purple amethyst, and pinkish-beige shell. A small house with a red roof sits beside a stream and waterfall, surrounded by trees, rocks, and a wooden fence in a pixel art landscape. A woman in a red witch hat leans on a table filled with magical objects, like potions, a skull, books, scrolls, and candles. Plants and other objects hang from the ceiling above.

It's easy to be pessimistic if you look around at everything going on.

But if you channel those feelings into collective action that produces observable outcomes, whether it be through mutual aid, workplace unions, or local politics, you will be forever optimistic about what can be done.

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

The notion that the US would bring "freedom" to Cuba is actually obscene. The US effectively controlled Cuba for half a century before the revolution, and ran it as a dictatorship characterised by gangsterism, political repression, sex tourism, racial hierarchy and mass poverty.

I think a network of millionaire and billionaire pedophiles that do sex crimes on a private island should be enough for people to realize “people shouldn’t have vastly more wealth than other people”

According to the 2026 #GDC State of the Game Industry report, most game workers support unionization, & many are navigating layoffs, crunch, & uncertainty.

Community care, shared knowledge, & collective power matter!

This image is a meme using characters from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to express a strong opinion on labor strikes within the video game industry. The first character asks if game developers should strike. The second character responds that all exploited workers should strike. The first asks if this is true even if it disrupts the industry. The second emphasizes that it should happen especially if it causes disruption.
