Hi there! I’m an artist, storyteller and the creator of SpringTime, driven by a passion for both art and people. Online, I go by GlitchKy or Ky for short. While I prefer to stay anonymous for now, I hope that my work speaks for itself. Maybe one day that will change, but for now, I’m just excited to share my ideas with you.
ART JOURNEY
I started in 2015, inspired by the joy it brought to others when I created something just for them. My unique style and speed became recognizable, but above all, I loved the process of bringing ideas to life.
SpringTime has been an escape, something that kept me hopeful through difficult times. My goal is to create something that resonates with others, a story that might bring comfort or inspiration to someone who needs it, just as it has for me.
EDUCATION
I’m currently studying event management and before that, I earned a degree in applied visual arts and another in digital design.
Before diving into art, I studied science and was encouraged to pursue fields like neurology or physics due to my academic strengths. While science continues to fascinate me, especially physics, astronomy, and biology. Art always felt like my true calling. Even though some saw it as a "waste of intelligence", I chose to follow my passion. Interestingly, my love for science still shapes SpringTime, influencing its worldbuilding and the way its universe is structured.
BACKGROUND
Growing up, I faced a lot of challenges, time spent in and out of hospitals, struggles at home and school. Art became my anchor and storytelling gave me a way to connect, even when I felt isolated.
Now, I create in the hope that SpringTime can be that escape for someone else, a world where they feel seen, inspired or simply entertained. If my work can bring even a little light to others, that’s when I know I’ve succeeded.
SPRINGTIME ORIGINS
SpringTime traces its roots back to 2015, when I met my then-best friend, Seb, on ROBLOX. We spent countless hours in Skype and Discord chats, creating a sandbox of ideas together. Seb thrived on throwing out a whirlwind of concepts, while I found my strength in weaving them into something that made sense.
By 2018, I decided to take things further. What had once been a playground of scattered ideas became my story, SpringTime, brought to life through my art and early animations.
While Seb’s influence on SpringTime today is small, some of his original ideas still live on, reworked, reshaped and given new life. They’re no longer his in the way they once were, but without those early sparks, they wouldn’t exist in the same way. In that sense, the promise I made to him about SpringTime remains kept.
WHO AM I?
ABOUT ME
Asking me to tell you about who I am is surprisingly difficult, but I suppose the easiest answer would be that I'm an artist, storyteller and a rather curious person from Belgium. But that never feels like the full picture.
I've always been fascinated by people. Their stories, passions, struggles, the little things that make someone unique. I think that's part of why I've spent so much of my life creating. Whether it's through drawing, writing, animation or worldbuilding, I've always loved exploring ideas and sharing them with others. To me, creativity is one of the most beautiful things people are capable of.
I'm also someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with others. I'm fairly extroverted by nature and love meaningful conversations, hearing people ramble about things they're passionate about and learning how they see the world. Life feels richer when it's shared. Of course, like most people, I come with a few quirks and complications of my own. I'm autistic, have OCD and live with double depression. While those things shape some of my experiences, I've never wanted them to define me. I'd much rather be known for the things I create, the people I care about and the life I'm trying to build.
At the end of the day, I'm just someone trying to experience life to the fullest, create things that matter and leave the world a little more interesting than I found it.
IDENTITY
Identity has always been a topic I've found both fascinating and frustrating. The older I get, the more I've come to realize that people rarely fit neatly into the boxes they're given and I'm no exception. If you asked me for the simple answer, I'd tell you that I'm a cis woman somewhere on the ace and bi spectrums. If you asked me for the complicated answer, we'd probably still be talking for a while.
Growing up, I was always more of a tomboy. I never really connected with many of the traditionally feminine expectations placed on girls and often found myself gravitating toward things that were considered more masculine instead. Despite that, I never truly felt like a man either. For a long time, that left me feeling caught somewhere in the middle. Not because I questioned whether I was a woman, but because I struggled to see myself reflected in the examples of womanhood I was surrounded by. Over time, I've become much more comfortable with the idea that there isn't a single correct way to be a woman. Some women are soft, some are assertive, some are nurturing, some are protective and many are all of those things at once. These days, I'm quite comfortable identifying as a woman. My relationship with gender is less about fitting into a role and more about allowing myself to exist as I am even when it might complicate my dating life along the way.
Sexuality has been much the same. The labels I've used have changed over time as I've learned more about myself and even now I'm not convinced there's a perfect one. These days I tend to keep it simple. What matters most to me isn't finding the perfect label, but understanding myself a little better than I did yesterday. Identity isn't a destination I've arrived at. It's a journey I'm still on and one I've learned to enjoy rather than rush.
If there's one thing I've learned from being part of queer spaces, it's that people are wonderfully complicated. It's also one of the reasons I care so much about the communities and stories I create. I want them to be spaces where people can explore who they are without feeling pressured to have all the answers. Whether someone is questioning their identity, discovering new parts of themselves or simply looking for people who understand, I hope they find room to breathe, grow and enjoy that journey at their own pace. After all, none of us start with everything figured out.
