ABOUT ME

Before I ever had a “studio style,” before mixed media and scrapbook textures became part of my creative language, I used to make Stargate wallpapers. Early 2000s digital graphics — soft gradients, dramatic lighting, mythological undertones, and a lot of emotional analysis of Ra and Daniel Jackson. It was chaotic, earnest, and very much the beginning of my visual storytelling.

All of those files lived on an old hard drive that’s long gone. The wallpapers, the graphic essays, the one snake‑headed character I drew, the Ra–Daniel dynamics I explored through color and composition… none of it survived. But the memory did.

So I’m bringing that era back — not by recreating the exact images, but by reimagining the feeling of them. This is not fanart. This is a visual memory project. A way to honor the creative spark that started everything.

Welcome to the Lost Stargate Archive — reborn through the lens of 2026.

I’ve decided to bring something old and beautifully imperfect into my studio space: my 2007 digital camera. It still works — kind of. It takes glitchy, striped, slightly cursed photos… and honestly, that’s exactly why I love it.

There’s something magical about early digital photography: the soft blur, the unexpected artifacts, the tiny sensor struggling with light. It feels raw, nostalgic, and strangely intimate. So I’m giving this little camera a second life as part of my mixed‑media workflow.

Expect: • glitchy textures • lo‑fi digital noise • scrapbook layers • retro color palettes • accidental beauty • and a bit of chaos, of course

This isn’t about perfection — it’s about capturing the vibe of a moment with a device that remembers another era. A small creative time machine.

Welcome to the Retro Digicam Diaries. Let’s see what this old camera wants to say.

A summer playlist for artists, dreamers, and anyone who loves creating under warm light. These one-hit wonders carry sunshine, nostalgia, and a little indie magic to help you slip into your creative flow.
