About Me

Philosophy
I draw lots of inspiration from web tradition, particularly memes. They are often humorous, satirical, and infrequently deeply relatable.
“It Ain’t A lot However It’s Trustworthy Work” (from a easy meme farm man) – I at all times need to hold these phrases in my portfolio and in my mindset. So long as I’m happy with the work and know that I put actual effort into it, that’s what issues most. Even when a undertaking feels small or insignificant, sincere work has its personal worth.
I consider there’s at all times somebody on the market who will admire it; we simply by no means know who that may be.

Publishing it may be a strong transfer.
