Hi there, I'm Canto Kun a.k.a VoidSpecies Garden, a visual artist based in Stockholm. My fields of work include publishing, games, animation, music, editorial, packaging, products, and so on, and I work on a multidisciplinary basis.
I grew up in the Y2K era and Anime, experienced as a game artist, and also a non-binary and a lesbian. They became a part of my aesthetic and worldview. My visual stands for Queer, non-human, subculture and weirdness.
If my practice interests you and you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with me to say Hi, and throw any thoughts or collabs!
