~Fatal-Nostalgia
Mike
Artist | Hobbyist | Varied
Hello, there. I am primarily a digital artist with emphasis on photo manipulations, typography, and wallpapers. I also occasionally dabble in photography. My favorite art styles are primarily hauntology, abstract art, dadaism, expressionism, Gothic art, impressionism, minimalism, surrealism, and various classical styles such as Romanticism; of course I enjoy all types of art.
Other than that, I am all about music; I listen to perhaps way too much music if anything! Ambient, metal, and post-punk are my top three genres. I am also responsible for metal and post-rock music under the monikers of Fatal Nostalgia and Homes in the Distance. Otherwise, I also love Nature, philosophy, politics, and gaming among other things. I hope my artwork is enjoyable and I hope to hear some constructive feedback. I'm looking forward to meeting new friends!
