Art Director, 
and a self-important designer.

I like to scam people into endorsing me for wearing black pants on LinkedIn. 
I am very good at wearing black pants and feel it should be professionally recognized.

I like to play soccer, and surf reddit. 
I even reached the very top of r/all once if that means anything to you. It should.

I have published one book, and deemed myself an author.
I have published one newspaper, and call myself the savior of print.

I have been creating music for a while, and have toured the east coast twice with my band, Funeralbloom. We play atmospheric black metal and have had two records pressed. 

My second semi-full time band is comiti, and it’s an experimental dreamwave band.

I drink a lot of coffee, and I make a lot of coffee.
Let me make you coffee, and let me feature your cup on #nixxsips.​​​​​​​

My goal with this project was to expand what I knew about typography, and how to make things that shouldn't work be able to stand on it's own. I wanted to push what I knew about editorial design and materials, and how to play subject matter off of the way the work is printed. I wanted to see if I could find meaning in meaningless random words through typography and editorial design.

I set out to experiment with the boundaries of type, distortion, textures, envelopes distortions, and blending. I wanted to destroy typography, or shape it in unconventional ways to complicate what was already there. I would gather random words from a generator, and then blend/warp/distort/destroy these words in ways that would amplify their meaning or remove meaning altogether. 

Once I had a collection of work, I focused on printing the works on newspaper. I thought that by going with this quality of paper and ink, it would aid me in my goal of creating a more fragile publication to contrast the bold experiments.

A meta-statement here about art in general. What is it? To what lengths can we take art? What defines a piece as being modern? What about timeless?
