Shazz and Boo Lets Play

At the start of 2020, my partner and I started Youtube and Twitch channels, where I play games and Shazzbaa... helps!
Because we live on opposite sides of the country.
And want to play videogames together.While the content is in no way professional, it's already become a major passion project of ours. Please enjoy our videos, complete with alright visual quality, working on it but still sometimes imbalanced audio, and every minute filled with love.

Patreon + Kofi

I run a sketch blog on Patreon!
It helps keep me fed while I mess around with being freelance, and learn from my sure-to-be-many mistakes. Updates about once a month with whatever non-NDA arts I have at the time.

I also have a Ko-Fi page for single donations!
