🎨 Salty's Art Gallery 🎨

I love making art. I think it's really important for us, as humans, to create art even if we don't perceive it as "good" or technically impressive. I mean, c'mon, we've been doodling on rocks for millenia. It's always been inside us, so you gotta let it out any way you can.

Anyways - below you will find a list that details the various mediums I utilize to get out the silly ideas in my head. Click any link to be taken to the indicated gallery.

✂️ Collage ✂️

HTML Collages

I like to make webpage collages using almost-pure HTML. I only use absolute positioning and very little in-line styling. I code them in VSCodium and get the static images and .gifs from my personal archives. These are definitely my favorite thing to make.


Analog & Digital Collages

I enjoy making digital & analog collages using images mostly from my wife and I's collection of vintage magazines, whose topics vary widely. Most of our collection is '60s/'70s Playboys as well as late '90s-00s video game publications.


🦠 Computer Art 🦠

Early 'Net Art

"Esoteric Old Web Art" that I've made using no modern software or tools. No Photoshop, no gimmicky bullshit. I scour for old games, shareware, and the like that allow you to create and save artwork from within them. Aesthetically, think "Kidpix on psychedelics" with a few caveats.


3D Modeling

Making 3D models and scenes is a relatively new hobby for me. I haven't done too many projects because they are extremely time consuming and make my office hot, but I absolutely love Blender. What a sick ass program!


Digital Drawing

I reluctantly drew these digital drawings in Procreate. This is a rough translation for, "I bought my wife an iPad and now I feel financially obligated to use it every once in awhile, even though I hate drawing." I also drew the fun Newgrounds-esque frame and other assets that you see on the website.


🎧 Music 🎧

I have created and played music of all sorts for nearly two decades. I am currently in a couple bands: I play all the instruments for my own projects, I drum in my best friend's noise punk band, and I often moonlight as a fill-in bassist/drummer/guitarist/whatever around my hometown. I don't necessarily play or write in one style; I like to switch it up every so often when my budget and time allow it. I also produce electronic music occasionally.


One-Offs

You'll find a handful of one-off tracks I've recorded over the years at the link above. Enjoy. :)


GOLD STAR

My most recent (personal) music project is called, GOLD STAR. The link above will take you to our website, which is actually the first site I ever coded myself and finished! I like to describe this project as some variation of "twangy, gay, Y2K fuzz rock." The project takes a lot of influence from American proto-punk, Afrobeat guitar instrumentals, '60s country, and '90s alternative rock.
