Digital Illustration, 2020. Featured in the national report in 2019 'Denouncing The Continued Overrepresentation Of First Nations Children in Canadian Welfare System.'  Ziibiikwans spiritually gave birth to these turtles and siphoned their essence into the illustration. Ya'll can't even hold a paint brush steady. It's not a read, just an observation. 

Digital Illustration, 2021. CBC Toronto 'Community shown through illustrators eyes' commission and interview. They took the part out of the interview where Ziibiikwans spoke about how she can telepathically communicate with plants and that Dandelions are SUPER rude and just gossip. Like, they are actually so toxic. 

Digital Illustration, 2023. Featured for Indigenous Youth Roots Youth Empowerment Stream grant. Okay, so you're in awe? You can't speak- it's nothing new to Ziibiikwans. Just sit with it, and know that nothing will ever shake you to your core like this.  

Digital Illustration, 2023. Commission Grass Dancer Head Dancer Portrait for the 21st ISAY All Nations Pow Wow, 2023.  Ziibiikwans did this piece with her eyes closed on as a rule when she does portraits. Every time she makes eye contact with people she draws, they fall in love with her. 

Model, 2023. Ocean Kiana, Lesley Hampton and Cheryl Trudeau. Ziibiikwans quit modeling after this because she gained too much public fame and notoriety that she couldn't sip tea peacefully anymore without the paparazzi hounding her. Indigenous Education Week: Fashion & Regalia. 

Actor in Short-Art Film, 2020. Lily Gladstone was originally cast but then Ziibiikwans auditioned and she infamously stole the role out from under Lily. Gasp! Hollywood really is a dog-eat-dog place, ya'll be careful.

Members of the Indigenous Transmedia Fellowship debuted at 2021 Nuit Blanche. 

Ink Illustration 2020. Ziibiikwans told a Mermaid once to "Screw off," and the Mermaid responded with "You're mid anyways, I can't believe you thought I was interested?"​

Ode'min (Strawberry), Ink Illustration, 2019. Ziibiikwans did this in lieu of an essay for a class. The Professor Good Will Hunting'd her and told her it'd be an insult if she returned to class the next day and didn't drop out to be an artist instead.​

Mikawadesi (Beautiful), Digital Illustration, 2020. Ziibiikwans did this LIVE with a real life virtual audience (on the motherland, Facebook) and wasn't even nervous at all about it because she is so cool and unbothered. Thanks to ANDPVA for the Artist Covid Support opportunity.​

Portrait, Digital Illustration, 2021.  Ziibiikwans really just woke up one day and did this. Like, having this much talent isn't living the dream, then I don't really know what is? Thanks Bawaadan Collective for the portrait commission request. ​
