About Me
Some call me Icarus. Some call me Syd.Furries know me as Not-Fun, Clockwork or Cial (like "kyle")
I'm a gay/ace trans man and stage 3 cancer survivor born in 1982.
I've been making websites since the 90s using .txt files and my own art for website aspects
Art is my number one survival tool. Before she died, my grandmother encouraged me to draw constantly. She was a painter and an early adopter of personal computers -I had early access to Macintosh machines thanks to grandma as well as regular art supply stocks.
I love working with paper. It has so many textures! Working with paint and ink is the most cathartic for my mental health, but I enjoy any project or act of creation I feel connected to. I use a 1stgen ipad pro w Procreate to draw digitally. I dabble in textiles (sewing, doll/plush making) sculpting, carpentry, pixel art and painting on canvas.
I spent a few years living and working in Japan like 20 years ago. I worked with preschool special needs learners in Australia during grad school. I dropped out of grad school. I worked with kids on the autism spectrum for a while in America deciding it was time to transition in more ways than one. I'd like to go back to working with kids but since 2016 that's been really difficult.
I drive a 2006 yamaha vino moped. I really like coffee. My fav foods are Mexican and Japanese cuisines. I have 3 pet cats and pet fish. I've been married since 2011, or was it 2012? I'm of Eastern European Jewish heritage as well as Irish. Fuck Israel. Free Palestine.
I'm somehow, still, basically Cloud Strife kinny. I'm pretty furry pilled these days too. I like going to conventions but they are expensive.
I've had my fair share of negative experiences with haters, stalkers and bigotry (both loud and soft) and I don't much stand for it anymore. Fix your hearts or die.
Wear a mask.
