What this Site Is

This website hosts the art/tech portfolio of Mantacid. I'm making it from scratch, and learning along the way, so there are a number of things that haven't been implemented yet. But don't worry, those will be coming soon.

I suppose this website is an art project in itself, in a strange way. The way im learning to make it is reminiscent of how I learned a lot of my skill: by screwing around and finding out what works. Is it janky? Yes; I gave a color value to a margin and ended up fixing the navigation menu somehow. But is it also beautiful? I'd certainly think so.

Necessary to any process of learning, I've found, is the ability to let yourself be bad at something. Refusing to fall prevents you from walking, and it's important that budding artists realize that. If you're not cringing at your old work, seeing what you could have done better, then you aren't growing.

In fitting with all this talk of learning, My site will also provide artists with some tools and advice to help them in their journey, which I hope will facilitate an environment in which they can grow unburdened by theft and exploitation of their talent.
