Project Information

Editor

The different paths an artist chooses to take in his eventual creation of art is a journey that has long held a fascination for me. The processes undertaken, the challenges faced, or the relationships that grew or suffered or neglected in the pursuit of art, some of the questions that not sufficiently explored when discussing most art forms.

Art permeates our lives and does have consequences, whether in the enthusiastic consumption of it or the joyful, pride-filled creation of it. We must not content ourselves in being mere passive consumers of art, but must be active explorers of its various consequences. Not only must we critique the art, we must also critique the profound effects it has in our lives.

I created Articles to explore the consequences of art. I solicit contributions from various artists, writers, and anyone involved in any creative endeavor to explore these questions. What sacrifices have they made for their art? How has their art changed lives? No topic or question is taboo or irrelevant.

Web Designer

I make websites. I do not just code, I do not just design, I do not just create content. I do all of it, from drafting the first layouts to building the wire frame; from editing the images used to designing the typography; and from coding the required HTML, CSS, and Javascript to providing and editing the content.
