Bee, Naf, and Cait's Great Big Move-In! [2019]
Help us move in together!
Rebecca (Bee) and Nafisah (Naf) are two LGBTQIA+ artists that have been together going on 10 years, but have been entirely long distance with scattered visits and plane flights throughout-- until now! With the additional companionship of our best friend and fellow artist Cait, we're finally taking steps towards moving in together to form a power trio; taking a shot at chasing our dreams of freelancing for a living, sharing our creations and publishing our work together... and staying up super late to play video games, probaby!
About Us!
Nafisah Tung, or Naf/Dye!
Dyemelikeasunset on Tumblr & DeviantART
My name is Nafisah and I’m a 28 year old non-binary artist who used to do concept art for the video game industry. After 5 years of creatively draining work and unpaid overtime, I finally made enough money to secure a decent retirement for my parents. Despite that, my parents couldn’t accept my relationship, so I’ve decided to leave the nest and live with my romantic and platonic partners to start a new family and hopefully, also start a career as an independent artist.
Rebecca Long, or Bee/Beedalee!

I am a 28 year old freelancing LGBTQIA+ artist. I've never been away from home or my family before- so this move is very new, very big, and very important to me. I've wanted to take steps toward independence for a very long time- to be able to finally live with my partner freely, and- fingers crossed- create a self-sustaining business with my art! This move is hopefully going to help all three of us make life changes for better and give us all the opportunity to grow!
Caitlin Whelchel, or Cait/Prince!
Caiterprince on DeviantART
I am a 26 year old non-binary digital artist who does corporate training at a law firm! I have lived alone for the last three years and have struggled managing my mental health, working for a living, and drawing for pleasure in isolation. Being able to live with my queerplatonic partners means I have companionship and love to come home to every day, which will in turn help me in my work life and my art life! I’m so excited for this opportunity!
How can you help?
A lot of our fans have been with us on our journey from the very beginning, and we couldn't be more grateful for the community we've created over the course of this decade! Now we are asking our followers, friends, and anyone else that would like to help us bring this dream to a reality by donating a little our way to help us pay for moving expenses! We don’t expect to meet this goal by any means, but every tiny bit helps more than you can imagine, and we couldn't thank you enough!
