About the Website - Originally created at the turn of the millenium in 2001, though eventually superseded by the overall transition of online spaces to social media, paperninja.net has been re-created due to a frustration with the limitations of presenting a unified body of work within the social media space.

Social media largely focuses on the present to exclusion of all else, making it difficult to peruse the work of an artist without wading through pages of posts. This website, however, will collect everything into sections based upon medium and even provide some context along with each piece.

About Me - I originally obtained a degree in Photography & Digital Media in 2006, and have done almost nothing professionally with said degree ever since. I drift between artistic hobbies, having tried out photography, illustration, acryllic painting, miniature figure painting, writing, and graphic design.

I hope that you find something interesting.

This website began life as a series of hand-coded .html pages, with the layout based on tables.

I eventually discovered CSS, after which I shifted my design focus to the then-new Wordpress Content Management System.

Despite the various conveniences provided by a structured CMS such as Wordpress, this page has returned to its roots as a series of hand-coded .html pages laid out with CSS.

This has the potential to create an inconsistent experience for mobile-only visitors, and makes content somewhat more difficult for a casual visitor to find or sort, but the complete control over the experience and lack of an avenue for the exploits that the Wordpress platform invites is a fair trade for me.

As a result, this website is best viewed in a computer-based web browser, not a mobile device. Apologies for the inconvenience.
