It's official! IndieCade selected me as this year's recipient of the Bernie DeKoven Big Fun Award. I was over the moon when they told me 🥲

Bernie's work is foundational to so much of the work that inspired me, so to be considered a part of what he began is the most incredible honour 🧡
Congratulations to @agaitcheson.bsky.social for receiving this year's Bernie DeKoven Big Fun Award! Featuring everything from alt. controllers to painting, dance and clowns, your stage shows and livestreams give everyone the chance to take creative control!
