Welcome to the Lotus Grotto
Welcome to V2 of my central art project and information hub! Here, you can learn about me and my system, the weird little quirks and stories in my head, as well as see how I progress as a self-guided graphic designer and web developer. I published this site on December 25th, 2023 and released V2 on August 15th, 2024!
I don't really intend to make and share tutorials and such on this site, but you can definitely take a look at my code and copy things! I am not at all a professional, so take EVERYTHING I do with a grain of salt, but I definitely know to how to make things functional.
I also pride myself on making things fun and interactive! Go around and click on things that look clickable! You never know with this site, something strange might happen!
I consider myself a social media refugee... I HATE modern social media with a sizable passion. I use it enough to get through my days and boost my career, but beyond that, it is all incredibly dull and melancholy to me, as are most things designed with modern styles in mind. I am largely a maximalist, finding beauty in the most exquisite styles and comfort in the most cluttered environments. I love aesthetics like Frutiger Aero, Shabby Chic, 50s Vintage, 90s Popstar, "Coquette", and other aesthetics along those lines. I believe this site, and my many projects stemming from it, are representative of that.
Anyways, beyond all that rambling, thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy my little space online :)

recommended over
Cbox because it doesn't log IPs and it's way more customizable without the payment.
