hello fellow web surfer, if you are seeing this you must be on the about me page! i designed this page to tell you more about the mastermind behind this whole ordeal. i love talking about myself and i tend to gush out all my intrests and hobbies to people when i first meet them so its nice to be able to organize that all on the webpage.
i cant promise i wont ramble (sorry in advance)

like you might've read somewhere else, knumskull is what i call an "umbrella term". i dont actually know if thats a real thing but it is to me. anyway i do a lot, i love creating things, i do movies, web development (duh), zines, flyers, drawings, t shirts, and probably more in the future. the umbrealla term comes in becuase i use knumskull as the name behind it all. the name comes from a youtube channel i really liked called dimwit, i liked the idea of just being stupid, or making things that ordinary people would deem "something only a knumskull would make" i really liked this band at the time named "knumears" so i decided to combine the two and make "knumskull"

knumskull first started as a series on youtube, a passion project and love letter to old camcorder movies. how authentic and personal it felt to me to film things on a shitty cam corder and sloppily edit it into a movie. but my inspiration mainly comes from dimwit and old mtv and jackass specials. theres more nuiance to it though, i try to have a take away or tell some sort of story with my movies. i have a various amounts of complexity i view life and my experiences with, and if filming goofy home made movies is my way of expressing them and having them resonate with people on a deeper level than so be it.

currently my upload schedule is... ass. but its being put aside right now for other projects of mine, like aHEM! web development, and everything else i mentioned. i do not plan on ever stopping making movies so always be looking for the newest episode.

so about me... i'm a american born on july 10th. I don't live a very eventful life behind the screen, mostly playing videogames, collecting, going to hardcore shows, walking, and creating things.

besides doing knumskull stuff, i like to spend my time playing video games, creating music, watching movies, hanging out with friends, trying new foods, reading comics and books, and learning new information.
knumskull consumes a lot of my time, but i only work on it when i feel inspired so i do not make something i am dissatisfied with

ive always been a sharer, from as long as i could remember, weither that could be my rocks on the playground or a super rad website i made, sharing things that are important to me is something ive naturally always done. to my downfall though, many people are turned off due to my eccentricity. a very few select number of people actually like to be around me, mainly becuase i dont ever shut up, i love communicating. i understand that many people probably find that... whats the word.. like annoying. but i dont want to be with those people anyway. my overwhelming love for the arts has caused me to always be a total nerd about fiction and culture, something i would never truly drop.
i think having a personal website is the perfect hobby for someone who enjoys expressing themself while also going on tangents about the things they like. It's not like anyone will read the subtext like this...?

i love collecting things! nothing will truly compare! right now i have a vast collection of dvds, comics, manga, videogames, trinkets, plushies, action figures, legos, keychains, and old tech
i also like collecting things most people would deem "gross" i have some bones, animal remains, and ugly things i find at the thrift store .
almost all of which were sourced ethicly as I don't believe in hunting for sport.
ive always had a deep appreciation for anatomy and how bodys function.

besides my interests, my friends would probably describe me as passionate and driven. i don’t have many major goals in life, but when i set my mind to something, i’m determined to accomplish it. i wouldn’t call myself especially positive or optimistic; i’m more of a realist. i don’t have any wild dreams, but i also don’t see myself as someone who can’t achieve what i want. when i care about something, i give it my best effort, and if i fail, i learn from it and move forward.

they might also describe me as gentle and honest. i’m not the type to lie about myself or exaggerate just to be more well liked or popular. honesty is important to me.
though i guess saying that probably makes it sound like i am lying, but that can’t really be helped...

i guess that ties into another notable part of my personality: i’m pretty unbothered by what people think of me, and i think that’s an important quality to have.

i’m not offended if people don’t like me or disagree with me. if anything, i value honesty. i wouldn’t want to live in a world where everyone agrees all the time and there’s never any conflict, because conflict is often what helps us understand and appreciate the things that matter most to us!

i think that’s enough about me for now, and thanks for taking the time to read all of this.
writing about myself has never really been my strong suit. there’s a lot that makes up who someone is, and it’s hard to condense all of that into one neat little bio.

if you want to know more, there are other pages around the site that go into the smaller details. you can browse through my interests, hobbies, dislikes, random pet peeves, and some quiz results if that’s the kind of thing you’re curious about.
