Question: “Why the name ‘Perishable’?”
Answer: While working dead-end jobs after high-school, I continued doing art, graphics, design, music, and so forth, trying to keep my creativity alive any way possible. Wordplay and making fun of marketing and advertising propaganda made it possible to laugh with co-workers while plowing through long hours on the job. One day, I noticed the word “PERISHABLE” stamped in red, uppercase letters on a box I was carrying out of a walk-in freezer.
After further contemplation, the word just sort of stuck, and later I found myself writing it in my sketchbook, including it in graphics, and eventually using it as a pseudonym. Beyond semantic interpretations, the term has an abstract aural aesthetic that I find appealing. So I enjoy using it as a calling card, nickname, username, whatever you want to call it.
Question: “What’s this site about?”
Answer: Perishable Press serves as an online resource for web developers, designers, and anyone who wants to keep up my online pursuits. So it’s a personal blog slash web-dev tutorial site. With lots of related topics thrown into the mix.
