This website has my art stuffs and my notes database. On the art
stuffs
side, I have my watercolor paintings posted. I am writing
stories to accompany them. If for some reason you care, my artist
statement is here.

On the notes side, under the link Study, is a database of notes I am
making on stuff I am learning or am interested in. Currently a lot of
those nodes are empty because I am put them up as place holders. Part
of the reason for wanting to publish them on a website like this is
because I thought it would be to cool to make connections between
different things I am learning about and my art. Another goal is to be
able to access these notes myself when I don't necessarily have my
laptop on me.

However, I recently had the scary thought that some of my notes,
especially the notes that I am primarily sourcing from textbooks, are
potentially copyright issues. I am not sure I can argue that my node
graph and the connections I am making is transformative enough to be
fair use. At least not yet. Maybe if I add more weird connections,
especially to my art, then I could make the argument. For now, I am
going to start adding noexport tags to the material I am particularly
worried about. This way, I will still have my personal notes, the
nodes will still show up in the graph, the links between nodes will
not break, and the stuff that is making me nervous is not actually
published.

Having said that, removing potentially copyrighted material is an
ongoing process. If there is something on my site that you would like
removed, please contact me and I will do so as soon as I can.
