An Aladdin’s Cave of free digital resources! This site is my “trove” –  a jumble of stuff I have created including print & play games, soundscapes, writings, poems, images, and crafts-related projects. Everything here is free for you to take away and use or adapt for your own projects.

I am a binary beachcomber, a digital tinkerer. I don’t claim to be a musician, a writer or an artist – I am just one of the people often found pottering around in the margins between the real world and the digital.

Please browse my portfolios at leisure, and take away whatever baubles or trinkets happen to catch your eye or ear.

“Some may call this junk. Me, I call them treasures.”

Belethor.
