Here there be writings of all kinds, but mostly my own thoughts and ramblings about art, sketches, video games, animation, and design.

Every Noise at Once

August 20, 2020   1:11 pm

There’s a way to discover new musical genres, or find the name of the genre you’ve been really into for the past half year! That’s this website:

Every Noise at Once

Enter your favorite artist and you’ll find genres related to that artist. Click a genre and you’ll find a large word cloud of artists it applies to! Then, click on one of their names and a clip from their top song on Spotify will begin to play. Click again to be taken to that song on Spotify! For instance, I entered “Dead or Alive”, clicked on synth pop, and found a bunch of tangentially similar sounds. Fun!

Thanks to my friend Collin for showing me this website!

During my past few years of drastic change and growth, one of the best things I did was adopt a cat. Meet Tina Turner. (I didn’t name her, by the way, but it’s So Her.) With a past as tragic as her namesake, this vocal feline was up on Petfinder for months before I finally […]

The old domain will be sunset, and the most substantive posts have been brought over and added to their […]

2019, Clip Studio Paint. After I got my cat last year, I resolved to draw her an icon for her Instagram account! …Then I proceeded to use a photo of her anyway, because it was much cuter. Still, I have several more drawings of her planned, including a painting! Just hang tight — coloring a […]

BEEEEANS at Kupocon!

April 16, 2018   12:00 pm

Instead of my usual trip to Toronto for TCAF, this year I’m heading to Kupocon in Vancouver, and I decided to make a few things for the friends I’ll be seeing there! Chief among them is this very silly sticker that I’m dubbing “Nyactis Toe Beans”. I’m giving one to every Noctis cosplayer, as well […]

Coming Soon: Nippon-Ichigo!

March 2, 2018   12:30 pm

A long time ago, I started a website called Nippon-Ichigo in anticipation of blogging about my theoretical experience of living in Japan at the same time as filing my first application to JET. Talk about putting the cart before the horse, right? Ah, classic me. I learned a lot of interesting things in the process […]
