Shelley Chen @niuxyz.bsky.social · 25/09/2026My students have been getting to know me better lately, and they’ve started calling me an art nerd and a pretentious artist (he added, “but in a good way”). I’ll take that as a compliment. I’m sure that’s how they meant it. (Hopefully!) 010

Shelley Chen @niuxyz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Just took my students to a game jam competition. Amazing designs, outstanding concepts, I’m so proud of them! I think they’re all going to become depressed artists like me. They could’ve just made dumb hit games if I wasn’t their teacher… I turned them into ART MONSTERS.😭 030
