About

Hello. I’m Teejay VanSlyke. I’ve been making music, art, websites, and other oddities for over twenty years. My preferred medium has always been the web… it’s a playground of text, color, light, and sound. Unfortunately, it has been co-opted by evil corporate actors in recent years, but I continue to press on, determined to help retain the original luster and magic which led me to devote half my life to creating things on it.

Some fun facts about me:

• I’ve lived in a vehicle… twice. The first time, I fixed up an old Winnebago and parked it in a driveway in Portland, Oregon. The second, I built a tiny campervan and it drove me through the desert southwest, into the swampy bayous of the South, and up into the Northeast and Canada.
• I love cities, their energy, and the sense that the human condition is on display, ripe and vulnerable. But I hate crowds and parties. We’re full of contradictions.
• I am tormented by the necessity to earn a living, as many of us are, and am dismayed by the way opportunistic capitalists have squandered our natural resources, our time, and our attention in order to extract the soul right out of our gullets. We could live with a lot less than we think we need. More on this later.
