Hi, I'm Matthew R.F. Balousek. I'm a queer game designer and new media artist living in the NYC area. You can support me at any level on Patreon for digital access to my back-catalog, as well as access to new projects as they're released. For physical copies of my zines, I send those out on or around the start of each month. For bulk discounts on zines or other arrangements, feel free to contact me.
