☀️This week’s featured Indigenous Artisan for our weekly Artisan Afternoons is:
✨Jay King!✨
🤎Since childhood, Jay has been captivated by comic books, seeing them as a unique blend of storytelling and visual art.
🪶As an adult, Jay explored various jobs, but his love for art led him to enroll in the Fundamental Arts program at Holland College. During this time, he discovered his interest in 3D art, which inspired him to pursue further studies in the Video Game Art and Animation program at the same college.
🤎In early 2024, Jay joined the Indigenous Digital Skills Studio, where he has been working on a virtual reality (VR) game centered on pre-colonial Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island).
🪶 This game immerses players in a world from hundreds of years ago, featuring the island's original natural life—wolves, bears, and ancient forests.
🤎 Everyone is welcome to attend this FREE artisan demonstration at our Indigenous PEI Storefront at 111 Grafton Street, Ch’town, Epekwitk, Wednesday September 25th from 1:00PM – 2:30PM!
