Artist, invertebrate lover and retro tech appreciator based in Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia. I'm constantly experimenting with various traditional and digital mediums, but some of my favourites include linocut, Procreate and Flipnote Studio 3D (yes, on my Nintendo 3DS!). I sometimes table at local art markets and conventions in Southeast Queensland.

This website is a hand-coded pet project that also doubles as my portfolio. Both my art and code are 100% man-made. Thank you for visiting!

You can find more of my work on Instagram, Bluesky and Tumblr.

To-do list

This is a hand-coded amateur website, worked on whenever I have the time and feel like it. As such, there are a number of improvements to be made as I build up my coding skills, but here is a list of just a few goals I have for it.

Improve overall accessibility
Add a lightbox for embedded images in the gallery and event pages
Add more hand-drawn elements
Add a guestbook
Mobile-friendly layout

Update Log

21/11/2025: Updated gallery with more art and a slightly neater layout. Also made minor updates to home and events pages.

04/07/2025:

Added an events page to archive events I've tabled at.
Optimised some coding throughout the entire site. No more hotlinked images or long image URLs!
Home - Added some art and product photos to the homepage.
Home - Temporarily removed iNaturalist widget since it was increasing loading time. Hopefully I'll be able to put it back later in a more optimal form. In the meantime, check out my iNaturalist observations here!
Home - Edited my introduction upon realising I mentioned doing experimental art twice in the same paragraph. Oops!
Gallery - Updated with newer art.

25/06/2025: Added my own hand-drawn graphics to the site header and homepage! They were a single image for a couple of hours before I split them into the logo text and the artwork. Edited 404 error page to be more in line with the rest of the site.

29/04/2025: Changed site name from ginkgoidea to ginkgobug.

19/03/2025: Changed font in iNaturalist widget to mono fonts.

18/03/2025: Came back to this site after a long hiatus and made a number of adjustments. Removed the about page and merged it with the index page (for now) since they both had basically the same information. Edited the self-introduction on the index page to sound less stuffy. Shrunk the boxes and adjusted the borders. Finally figured out how to make the gallery images display smaller.

01/11/2023: Added an iNaturalist widget that shows 5 recent observations that I've uploaded to iNaturalist.

10/10/2023: Added boxes and updated the summary text on the home page.

22/08/2023: Created a gallery page and added some of my artwork (sorry about the huge image sizes!). Centre-aligned all text on the site. Removed the social media links on the home page since they're now linked in my about page. Added another button to the footer.

20/08/2023: Created an about page and updated the summary text on the home page.

19/08/2023: Added some placeholder links at the top of the page, and attempted to create a footer for the decorative buttons.

13/07/2023: First created a Neocities account and began creating my website based on a HTML draft I'd made some time earlier.
