My Creative Profile at a Glance

I am a Blogger!

• I have been blogging since circa 2005 on Myspace, blogged on Google's Blogger/Blogspot platform since 2009.
• I have made and maintained five different blogs in my time on Blogger/Blogspot. It was six, but one of them I retired long ago.
• I have allowed Guest Posts to be made from time to time. I even have done paid posts before.
• I had my own Wordpress site; but because of not being able to financially support it, the site only lasted just one or two years. So now I am looking to Github for a personal page.

I am a Content Creator!

• Most of my creative work is done through my creative handle, "JohnMarineDesigns," which was the name of my Cafepress store many moons ago.
• I have made digital art. I am also learning to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) for art rather than shun it off completely. All of my own work is still original, though.
• I have done 3D modeling, including voxel models and proper 3D models.
• I have made music.
• I have made online videos since 2008.
• I have been an e-Book author.
• I developed assets for games and game projects.
• Since about 2021, I have developed a love of cooking. Most of which, done with air frying. I want to attempt using the Instant Pot one day. I fear burning down the kitchen with the stove/oven.

My Philosophies

• I tend to believe in quality over quantity. I tend to be minimalist often times, the "less is more" approach to life or making the most of not having the absolute best of things. So even if my work may not look top-notch, I still try to make the most out of so little.
• I tend to be frugal a lot of times. Sometimes even wondering how I can stretch my money or try to make the most with freely-available (sometimes subjective) material.
• I always want the best for people and want people to succeed in life. People shouldn't have to feel punished for not being at their best or not always being their best. I am happiest when I can make others happy and that I do not disappoint them.
• I have an abhorrence (outright hate) of negativity and negative thinking. I try to be as positive and hopeful as possible about many things in life. I also tend to not associate myself with entities that consistently or constantly spew negativity or negative vibes. What I want to try to do is generate positive energy to as many people as possible, and I feel dabbling with creative content makes this possible.

NOTE: Just like life, this Github Page is under constant construction! If any material is marked as "Currently Unavailable," it is being worked on and not yet published to my Github Page. Once content is made available for the given feature, the "Content Unavailable" for that item will be removed. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Now with this out of the way, how can I help you? Click on my picture to return to this main page. Keep in mind pages are being worked on constantly, so any new material may not be made live until some time later. Sometimes MUCH later.

Establishment

Pages for this Github Site were worked on long time ago, but never made public until May 7, 2024. Or at least, I never figured out how to release a Github Page until May 7, 2024. Anyhow, it is live, it is loud, it is proud, and most of all- it is here. Enjoy this Github Page the fullest! :D
