It all started on December 4, 2022, on the Crate'est Day. I was Sitting around with friends and sharing a few beers. Crate Day marks the first Saturday of summer here in New Zealand. I had a thought, then dug into my bag of tricks and started cutting and drawing this crazy game, which was not initially called what it is now, let me tell you.

LITTLE PRICK was the first character I drew. He is an annoying wasp a Little prick. It's a card-matching memory game; find his identical match or his friend the alternate card he goes with. Once we started playing pretty soon, there was more beer, laughs, and crazy rules, and I knew I had something.

Fast-forward a few more months. I made more cards, drew more pictures, and worked on the rules. I took the game to more parties and had a heap more laughs, so I decided to go all in on the game. I have okay drawing skills, but I decided to get some fantastic professional artists from around the world to help me interpret these crazy characters.

Very quickly after seeing the art come in, I knew this could be much more, so I started getting clothing prototypes printed.

The first version of the game is being printed as I type. As well as LITTLE PRICK being drawn and posed getting ready to be printed on merch.

I have been talking to some amazing people, and learning a lot along the way LITTLE PRICK is a cheeky little wasp and has been pestering me for two years. Finally, you can also enjoy the sting.

Thanks for listening.

Cheers, Si.
