Archive
Please note: This website used to be more of a straight up blog, and past posts were listed here.
However, now I'm posting drawings and writing and stuff all over the place, and I'd like to gather it all here as a backup, but, that hasn't happened yet, so this is an incomplete collection of past writing up to the point where I started posting on Medium.
This page will get changed to a more general archive of all my past work.
