I don't know really what kind of art I do the most, or the best, because I kinda feel like I can do a bunch of different art at not the best levels T-T

HOWEVER! I will showcase what I do make heeeeere. This includes:

- Analog Media Art

- Music

- Creative Writing

- Photography

- Digital/Drawn Illustration

- Whatever else peaks my fancy at the immediate moment (my brain cannot focus)

Analog Media Art

I really really love using older formats and mediums to create new art and ideas. It's actually exactly why I love neocities so much! I never got to experience sites like geocities in their prime, so I want to utilize neocities to live that experience for myself and reinvent it in a way that only I can! I also love working on older analog devices.

Some of my hobbies include digitizing vhs and dvd media, collecting cd's and vhs, taping to vhs, and connecting current/modern devices to older/analog systems. Currently I have my Roku running on a tiny CRT beside my desktop computer for a small little aesthetic tv/stream watching platform!

Music

I've always loved music and have been doing something music-related ever since I was really little. I like to bounce around different ideas and genres from time to time, from weird ambient drumb and bass, to relaxed beat tapes, all the way to plunderphonic gabber noise! I can't say much of it is super "fit to print," but I will post some samples of what I've been working on of late, and maybe even get to a point of having an album of cohesive songs

Creative Writing

While I am a bit more reserved with my showing of my writings, I do like to have them out there so that people can at least glean something from them. Whatever that may be! I have my own ideas on the meanings of them, but it doesn't invalidate others' ideas of them either. I just hope they don't sound like ass honestly! Regardless, a link to an aggragate or a few select poems will be linked here in the forseeable future.

Photography

Something that I'm more "classically" trained in, I have a few select sets of images that I would be open to sharing on here. I like to do lots of landscapes, scenes of nature, and small, seemingly unsignificant elements to the everyday world to highlight in an artistic context. To bring the forgotten, weird, nasty, and cool tiny parts of life onto the main stage.

Illustration

I am REALLY scared to show my drawings a lot of the time. I don't know why specifically these give me such cause for concern, but I really don't feel super confident in them. I am still actively learning, and trying to ingest as much knowledge and advice on drawing as I can! Currently I am also only really able to make 3/4 portraits, which is part of the guidework and learning material I have been intaking. I hope that these can be any level of suitable and enjoyable, and I only hope to continue to improve and get better as time goes on!

Mystery Corner

This is going to be the section where I put art that I have done that does not fit a traditional mold, or things that do not have a defined label. It will also be home to mediums where I only intend to do small, or limited amount of, works in. This includes things like game design, glitch-art, sculpture, or anything else that immediately peaks my fancy! Have at it!
