Artist Announcement

9/23/2025

0 Comments

 
This month we want to start by introducing two new artists that we will be working with to make our games pop.

​Andrew and Kaitey are working hard to get the art done for our new games so that we can get them out to you next year and we couldn't wait to introduce them to you. We hope you love their work as much as we do.

Andrew Heath is a graphic designer and illustrator out of Lexington, Kentucky. He is best known for his pop culture-inspired illustrations, and Frozen Culture toys. He also has experience in game design and illustration with his self-published card games Burger Battle and Burger Battle 2, as well as layout and illustration for Flux. As soon as we met Andrew we knew he had the perfect blend of nostalgia and flair to help bring String Theory to life!
When he isn't creating he loves tasting the best cheeseburgers in town, and building new Lego collections (as he says, "his brain is 1/4 Lego," so he fits into our team perfectly!).
Join us in backing his new Kickstarter for Burger Battle Shake Up.

Kaitey Pastva is a local Cleveland illustrator of whimsical creatures, with a BFA in illustration from the Cleveland Institute of Art. She brings loads of experience, creativity and joy to every character on our new Berrymandering boards. We fell in love with her character art at a local event and immediately knew she would be the perfect person to help us create Berrymandering: Bees vs. Bears.

In fact, Kaitey has been working on two versions of Berrymandering for us not just one! She has also helped us completely re-imagine the artwork for our original Berrymandering: Strawberries vs. Blueberries game.
When she is not drawing, she shares our love of cats (aka supurrvisors) and video games.

Our goal is to begin crowdfunding in 2026, but we’d like to meet some milestones along the way.To have the best chance of successfully funding, we’re trying to build up our following on our newsletter and our socials.

And that’s where you can help! We’re currently at a cool 1,135 followers on our newsletter with an ultimate goal of around 3,500-4,000 followers before we launch.

We are working hard to get there, but we can use your help!

How you can help:
  • Tell your friends! Encourage them to sign up for our mailing list.
    Here’s a quick link you can send them to sign up: Tessellation Games Mailing List
    We promise it’s not a cult!

  • Mention us on socials! Did you get any cool pictures of our games? We’d love to see them! Tag Tessellation Games and/or String Theory on your social media!

    and finally,

  • Please review and rate us on Board Game Geek! Reviews help players who haven’t had a chance to play learn more about our games.
    (Okay, it might be a little bit of a cult.)

Berrymandering News
We’ve nearly sold out of our first printing of Berrymandering! Did you know we are working on a second edition?

We plan on releasing two themes for our second edition: starting, of course, with our classic Strawberry vs Blueberry version and a new Bears vs Bees edition to accompany it.

Same classic “I cut, you choose” mechanics, brand new adorable artwork!

More on that, and a preview of our new art, in our next update.
