about me

howdy! welcome to dead gremlin grotto, my personal website about me and things i like!

my name is ozzy, my preferred pronouns are they/them and she/her, and i'm a multimedia artist. i love drawing character art, writing tabletop games and settings, and composing/arranging music. i like to cooking, goin' on hikes, and reading fiction. i'm a clown with stage fright, i'm a witch of the sun and sea, i'm the forever game master!

i'm a queer nerd in their mid thirties who lives in texas with their wife, xiki (she/they/it), and furry daughter, taffy.

xiki is a very talented digital artist-- she's even got a degree that says so! i ain't got one of those! she also likes to crochet, do resincraft, and play simulation/survival video games.

taffy is a sassy layabout! her favorite toys are the (accursed) dangley string and the red laser pointer (of doom). cat tax payment incoming.

i like spending my time watching movies. the 1980s to 2000s is my sweet spot, especially if it’s sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. i like Johnny Mnenomic, Legend, and Re-Animator. i like themed movie nights and often hunker down to watch 3 movies in a row.

i’m also super into video games, though i don’t play them as often as i watch streamers play them. i like old classics and fresh indies mostly, and you’ll hear me yap about modding old games into new ones. you’ll often catch me playing some Nethack variant or a randomized Ocarina of Time.

you’ll definitely notice as you browse this site that i really like tabletop roleplaying games as well, and a lot of my art contributes to some game setting in some way. i draw a lot of characters i’ve created for settings that i’ve written, and frankly these games are most of what i think about, lmao. i like a lot of indies, stuff like TROIKA, Mörk Borg, and Ironsworn: Starforged. they're simple games with a lot of fun and sometimes familiar mechanics.

i don’t know how to wrap this up so i'ma just post a bunch of 88x31 gifs i vibe with

i realized posting over a hundred of gifs without warning is probably bad etiquette for bandwidth lol (i'm new at this!!) so instead, i made a new page called the button garden! go check it out :3c
