Welcome! Minter Tweed is a self-proclaimed Southern dandy who concerns himself with bizarre yarns about candy kids, hipsters, and other useless things.
Jack.
When using the saying, “Jack of all trades,” one has to consider the latter portion, “master of none.” As my fellow artists have pointed out, this figure of speech probably best portrays me. While I am competent in many artistic professions, I am rarely outstanding in any particular one. Continue Reading
Rant?
After writing down the basic outline for the first book of Feel Good Candy, I have a slight feeling that some people are going to be offended by this. Continue Reading
Beginnings!
Everything begins on the first of May. I will be posting three updates for Feel Good Candy every week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Some of them will be vlogs, others will be audio podcasts, and finally, the last few will be blog posts on my website and Tumblr. I want to share more in-depth information with everyone to give people something to follow as I begin my two-year journey. There is much more to come. Stay tuned!
Carroll.
While reading a biography about Lewis Carroll, something the author said amused me: “For him, [...] female children embodied the essence of romance: he admired their natural beauty; he valued their spontaneous utterances; he treasured their untrammeled innocence; and he devoted his time, energy, and imagination to amusing and edifying them.” I believe the romanticized girl-child is a topic worth exploring. I have created a board on Pinterest to show the ephemeral beauty of this subject.
Progress.
This website is currently a work-in-progress (WIP). I am cleaning up my HTML and CSS code and using the Starkers nude WordPress theme to begin my website anew. Any inconsistencies or wonkiness on the following pages shall soon have beautiful designs of their very own. Also notice that each page has been assigned a separate color pallet. More will come shortly. Thank you for your patience.
Tricks!
This website is a testament to all of the hardworking artists and programmers who roam the halls of CSS-Tricks. They have dealt with my bumbling stupidity day in and day out. Without their help, you would not currently be reading this. My ultimate thanks goes out to that entire community. If I were to list each person individually, this message would be far too long. So I shall end this entry with a little nod to my fellow web designers: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Thank you muchly.
Introduction.
‘Allo. My name is Minter. My heart speaks louder than my brain and I am a fierce friend and lover. I am a little over a quarter of a century old and I believe reality has wonderful graphics, but horrible gameplay. I enjoy the feeling of warm pavement underneath my bare feet, the sound of cicadas singing on a warm midsummer’s evening, doodling with my new Wacom tablet, and drinking Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey with Coca-Cola while smoking a cigarette on a rainy day.
