My Personal Blog (& Republic)
Cyberspace, 2015- present
Ongoing art project that involves all of my favorite obsessions: writing, design, photography, literature, and humor. And a place to showcase my work.
I changed the name when it became apparent that this name, which i’ve loved since I was a kid, could be seen as appropriating the lovely Kingdom of Eswatini, formerly Swaziland. (One “z”) I did visit that amazing place, but I forgot to ask permission to use the name, so I changed it. Have yet to change all the graphics.
*Apologies to my tocallo, the rapper by the same name, but Swazzi has been my nickname since before you were born. : ) I’m no competition, I promise.
Client
Yours truly
Inspired by a workshop, I jumped into creating my personal blog while working on a million other projects.
Mission
Start with a love of travel and vintage travel art, add a visit to a faraway country that could have been named after me, and go from there.
Swazziland.com became a travel-themed blog and imaginary republic, complete with passport stamps and travel posters. Because why not have as much creative fun as possible?
