WELCOME! to Fridge’s tumbling zone....

ABOUT ME:

I graduated from SAIC (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) in 2025 with a BFA in studio fine arts! I am cake n' aces and apparently my brain is wired differently. I have a PORTFOLIO WEBSITE where you can find my commissions, resumé, etc... also links to my Redbubble and Etsy stores as well as my Instagram and YouTube. My tumblr may have more mature content than my other platforms, as it is slightly more casual. You have been warned!

INTERESTS :

I mainly post (+reblog) 🥀 RWBY and 👑 Kingdom Hearts fanart but I also like:

🦎 GECKOS, especially New Caledonian geckos! I'm making a comic about them called #Rhaco, it's an edufantasy starring my young crested gecko OC Ves and his best friends as they learn song magic and nature facts to save ghosts!

🌟FLIGHT RISING, the dragon petsite into which I pour my conlang hobby. I am in the Light flight, and Aethers might be my favorite breeds.

🎧COLDPLAY! They are my favorite band, I know their discography extensively. My favorite album is X&Y -- though my favorite songs are probably from A Rush of Blood to the Head

🦉 GUARDIANS OF GA'HOOLE… aside from the books being fantastic by their own merit, I have 100%ed the shovelware Wii game to the ends of the earth and back, and I still have the Soren Christmas ornament / Soren and Gylfie Beanie Babies from when I was a kid

💎 SPYRO THE DRAGON-- I was introduced on the ones where Spyro is in a beat-em-up genre, but I love my spunky skateboarding little collectathon dragons. (Legend of Spyro -> Skylanders -> Reignited pipeline)

TAGS:

I'm kinda inconsistent with my tags— only recently started using them to make things searchable on my blog

#fridgefanatic for all original posts

#fridge's art guess what that tag means

#rhaco for my original comic

#2d animation > #animated short > #original film in increasing order of length

#music edit / #video edit, and for fandoms I'll usually have the additional #fan edit or #____ edit

for fictional characters, if they have a name that is common, I usually add fandom specifiers in the tag for their name

If I think of anything else I'll add it! (And of course, feel free to ask "About Me" questions)

and out of the darkness - you you you you you

Wall-E, Eve, Rozzum 7134 - roundel stickers

I really wanted to do something new for Earth Day this year and realized I still hadn't shared these anywhere.

Originally I made these for Autism Awareness month (April) to celebrate my favorite robot characters and their beautifully efficient ways of caring. But also Earth Day is during April, so it can be both

The stickers pictured were printed using a communal Cricut, so they're smaller and more vivid than those bought through my Redbubble (see the collection Robot Love)-- an option which may? be more sustainable for interested strangers. I’ve just been selling them locally but I think it might be fun to try grassroots mail orders

It is their radical curiosity about life which inspires the fictional robots to care, in spite of being tooled and built under systems which programmed them for apathy :)

Happy (late) Earth Day & Arbor Day everyone

[fridgefanatic]

Srax and Ves celebrate Earth Day! These guys are crested geckos from a comic about New Caledonian ecology that I'm developing.

my 20 page kingdom hearts comic featuring Saïx/Isa and Xion (2019). I really don't know what possessed me to do this tbh, but I was so proud of actually finishing it! Probably one of the longest comics I've ever drawn!!! I really like drawing comiiccssss

Mooooore bloopers!

I figured I'd do the next trio on the list. Though I guess for now, it's just the duo.

I feel like these two would mess with each other constantly. Just complete menaces.

SORRY!!! I was hacked and there was nothing I could do. I only just now received a response from Tumblr support and gained access to my account (@berabare). I'm so sorry!!!

I just really wanted to say sorry, I can't send you a message but I feel sorry 😔

Aw no worries, I am very gullible but I figured out it was a phishing scam before I took any action.

I’m so sorry this happened to you! Was literally telling my friend after I realized “I think the goofballs artist got hacked :( “

Hopefully everything is restored to normal for you soon!
