The watcher and the threshold
Sketchy Ponderings exists at the intersection of art, code, story, and wonder—a digital threshold where creative explorations take shape.
This space holds the overflow of a restless creative spirit: paintings that capture fleeting moments, games that invite deeper play, stories that find magic in the mundane, and the quiet contemplations that arise between projects.
It's not a brand or a blog. It's a place where creativity unfolds naturally, following its own mysterious rhythms.
Oil paintings and watercolors that explore light, memory, and the sacred in everyday moments. Each piece begins as a question about how color and form can capture what words cannot.
Interactive experiences built with HTML, CSS, and curiosity. From tactical card battles to narrative adventures, each game explores different facets of storytelling and play.
Stories that find the extraordinary in ordinary encounters—a mouse in a slipper, a butterfly companion, a hidden gathering of moose. Brief glimpses into threshold moments.
Ambient explorations and melodic fragments that emerge from the spaces between other creative work. Sound as another way of touching the ineffable.
This work follows what Carlos Castaneda called "controlled folly"—engaging fully with creative projects while holding lightly to outcomes.
Each piece emerges when it's ready, guided by natural cycles of inspiration rather than artificial deadlines. The process itself is the destination.
