WHY THIS STYLE?
Around the same time I became seriously invested in creation, I developed an interest in psychology and the unconscious mind. During this period, I grasped the huge significance of ones past in relation to their creative work. A personal obsession had formed to equip myself with the technical skills needed to express my ideas, feelings, and background in whichever medium I felt was necessary.
Because I was a child of the early 2000s with unrestricted internet access and a shitty Windows Vista family home computer, I have always found particular inspiration in the iconic culture and symbolism seen within the global phenomenon that was the middle period of the internet (MODERN INTERNET 2000-2016). Whether this was found in flash games, early Youtube videos, animation, advertisements, or the software that was used to create these things, I have always been interested, and always will be.
I am now fully dedicated to crafting works that reflect these things effectively.
This is why I have made Ethyn.net.
