I (and a friend of mine) invented a word in 2008. A few people who have referenced it since have lamented the fact that they needed to use the Wayback Machine to find the post that birthed it… so… I’m reviving my site so that the original can stand tall in all its ridiculous glory.

For what it’s worth, the word means ‘the fear of imperfect creative activity on paper’. Or, put more simply, blank page syndrome: the fear of screwing up a pristine page when it is ever so full of potential and you feel like a clumsy oaf who will mess it all up with a single stroke of a pen or paintbrush.


Likelihood is that I will put some actual effort into properly filling this site out with something a bit more interesting, but for now please enjoy the time capsule: a glimpse at who I was as a person prior to 2012, doing random sketches and sharing a bit of what I was up to to keep myself motivated to create.
