Kiva Bay is an artist who likes cats, videogames, and videogames about cats. She has a Patreon, and a Twitter that is mostly cat pictures now. One time when she was six, she was on the news and proclaimed “I like fish. I like to eat them.” Profound. She does comics, art for games, and reads romance novels in the bath.”
