Alexandria “beavotron” Neonakis is a graphic artist and freelance illustrator from Halifax Nova Scotia. Each year it seems she creates some truly memorable video game inspired valentines that show allows anyone to download from the interwebs.

On top of Left 4 Dead themed Valentines she also has World of Warcraft, Beautiful Katamari, and Team Fortress ones. All of which can be found at her website: http://www.beavotron.com/
