OCAD University’s RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers (CEAD) is pleased to announce a partnership with Bamtori Studio that invites five OCAD University students and recent alumni to sell their work at Bamtori Studio’s JingleBam Market. JingleBam Market is a joyful holiday experience filled with art, delicious food, and festive cheer.
This partnership is part of an initiative by the CEAD that provides opportunities for OCAD U students and alumni to gain experience tabling alongside peers at pop-up art markets across the GTA.
Bamtori Studio is a Toronto-based creative design and lifestyle brand that celebrates local and emerging artists by hosting community art markets in the GTA.
Selected for this market are:
alinariestie (Alina Phan): Alina Phan (aka alinariestie!) is a Toronto-based artist and graphic design student in her second year of studies at OCAD U. Her work draws inspiration from cute snacks, soft characters, and the little knick-knacks she loves to collect. Many of her pieces start as tiny doodles that she transforms into stickers, prints, and trinket goodies, all created with the hope of sharing a bit of warmth and joy with others!
alinariestie will be selling handmade polymer clay trinkets (keychains, phone charms, clips), prints, button pins and stickers.

charlesimmies (Charlize Simbulan): Hi there! My name is Charlize and I run my own art account as charlesimmies! I am a Filipino- Canadian artist studying material arts and design at OCAD. I love making art based on my field of study of textiles as it ranges from sewn/embroidery work to knitwear as well as crafts which is shown in my bracelets and keychains. I draw inspiration from many things such as cute things, experimentation (especially in materials and colour), my environment and music (which includes k-pop).
Charlesimmies will be selling keychains, tote bags, bracelets and pouches.

P&DA (Jason Fung): At first glance, my characters look cute…
until you realize they all have their unique spiritual meanings. Hi, my name is Jason, the creator of P&DA, a shop where art, psychology, and spirituality intersect. Every character encodes a hidden aspect of reality — Imagination, Logic, Mindsight, Perception — built on esoteric foundations like Yin/Yang, Dualism, Mentalism, and Manifestation. They don’t just decorate your space; they help you decode yourself. I create original prints, keychains, and collectible 3D figures designed to support your mental world and guide you toward the person you’re meant to become.
P&DA will be selling keychains, postcards, cards, prints, 3D printed figures, and stickers.
