Glossary

This page provides many terms that I use on my site to help you navigate my written content better. Since there are so many facets to my inspiration and processes, context is needed. Every term listed here are defined in my own words. The glossary will be updated accordingly as more terms are added.

The study of humankind’s cultures, arts, history, and traditions. Commonly, ancient and modern civilizations. (is foundation to my inspiration).

Armory

A locked or guarded space that stores a plethora of weapons and resources. (this term I use to refer to my ‘shop’ that houses my forged and enchanted creations). 

Blerd

A term for a ‘black nerd ‘that gained popularity in 2006.  (I as a black artist I culturally identify as a blerd.)
