the rickety sky tram clears the cloud bank and you finally see the overgrown post up ahead, perched atop one of this place's many islands. some kid is sitting right there on the platform as you pull in. looks like she's probably creating something. when she spots you, she smiles and says...
hi! welcome to callow station!
this is my personal little corner of the internet. i'm an utter novice to HTML, CSS. web design in general. but this whole "web revival" thing is happening, and it seems pretty cool. so i'd like to do my part in giving it some fuel, even if it just means cultivating a little spot like this as some sort of pax art gallery. feel free to look around. watch your step!
about me
ME! i'm pax callow. i'm a 26 year old artist living in pennsylvania and my pronouns are she/they. i have a lot of characters, a lot of worlds they live in, and a lot of works in progress! (because of the ADHD. i have ADHD by the way.)
i like to touch a lot of different forms of art. sewing, painting, music, photography, poetry, fashion, programming (HTML and godot), twitch streaming, i try it all with varying levels of success, but my mainstays are digital art and fiction writing.
i'm an amateur forager and i make great dandelion fritters! in 2023 i cycled the great alleghany passage with my best friend, and i'd love to do it again. i got 166 miles into the appalachian trail this year, 2024, before i had to come home for a few reasons. but one of my life's dreams is to thru-hike the appalachian trail, the pacific crest trail, and the continental divide trail.
my favorite band is the go! team, and my favorite game is psychonauts. or psychonauts 2. can't decide.
next up is wooden bear from okami

ideas/to-do
possibly condensing "BLOG" and "WRITING" into "WRITINGS" in the navbar and have a dropdown with both when you click on it? make room for a "OTHER CREATIONS" link for whatever other non writing or drawing crap i end up making (plushies, songs, etc)
hovering over navbar items will have cute little drawings pop up. like hovering over HOME here will have a little tram pop up, and LINKS would too because you are taking the tram to go to other sites. ART with an easel, UNIVERSES with a glowing pool of star water, etc.
more spirals. i'm the spiral guy and no one here knows that yet.
taking the stupid swimming pool, making the diving board taller, and putting it on its own stupid page hidden somewhere. oh speak of the devil.
found the diving board. click here to jump in the pool
pool -> |~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~\o/~~~~~~~~>->o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\o/~~~~~~|
this pool is so fucked up. anyway my other idea with the pool was taking it (still perhaps on its own page so i can make the diving board really long) and my tamanotchi here and putting them on a "TOYS" page, where i can put all my inane playthings and what have you. "how embarrassing, you found my toy room..." various instances of wooden bear, too.
