About
Hi, I'm Robert.
Wacom drawingThis is my website. It includes my iPhone art and photography (aka iPhoneography), iPad art, traditional drawings and paintings from high school to now, mostly slly poetry, a blog about web development, a blog about a project to convert between music and art, and my newest foray into making music. Yes, I have ADD.
I make websites and art.
I tried to create a PowerPoint presentation of my life but it's either more complicated than a set of bullets or I'm no Ernest Hemingway. Too bad. First bullet good. Me wrote, "Bama bred."
But it got a little pleonastic or, you might say if anyone ever did out of free will, periphrastic after that, not to mention positively circumlocutory. I couldn't find a way to shorten "2nd in Tae Kwon Do at Junior Olympics." "Tae Kwon Do hero" rhymes but sounds disingenuous. I did place 2nd, however, one point shy of lifelong conceit, invincibility from the fear of bullets, my very own dojo*, rock-hard abs, and no odor detection of sweaty feet, a necessity in combat.
As you may have guessed, I like to make art. Visual art is my only conventionally "real" talent. In fact, I won a scholarship to art school, made the Dean's List, and served, in the true sense of having no power, as both President and Vice President of student government.
In art school, I discovered web development and fell in love with the Internet, the most amazing communication network outside of the human brain and precursor to a global brain as well as our ticket off this planet should we not blow ourselves up first.
And ever since, I've been making web pages. I love it.**
As for hobbies, interests, and other things that help humans retain their sense of humanity amid the inundation of technologically-induced physical isolation, I'm kind of all over the place. Something to do with low dopamine, but I like to think of it as giftedness. If I were forced at gunpoint by our shadow government of inbred lizard kings to summarize, I'd say I make a lot of art, read a lot of nonfiction, and work out almost every day. But I haven't yet invented a new kind of submarine or war device, for obvious reasons.
* In Korea, a dojo is called a dojang, which sounds either female or redneck.
** You might ask why a web developer is paying a WYSIWTF website hosting company like Squarespace to host his website. a) I wanted to try it, b) they still allow you to add your own code, and c) it's not like people haven't been writing code on the shoulders of giant spaghetti code since the dawn of Dreamweaver.
