Oh, hello. So you want to know more about me?
Well, my name is Nathan. T. Dean and I rather like to play around with colour, or rather I have recently discovered that I like to. I never thought I would enjoy discovering a new shade of burgundy, especially as before I uncovered this little jewel of a website I thought the dulux colour charts pretentious for having a shade of pink called Salmon.
And there I am. All hypocrisy incarnate, naming a shade of blue Cobalt Ichor and attaching an even more pretentious poem/story to it for the purposes of understanding that tone, shade and hue.
Oh, oh, oh. Now I'm mixing them together and being all artsy. Ooh look. I can make stories and things.
But I have to stop. Because I was wrong. It wasn't pretentious. I thought it was. I think it may be more so when all you're doing is finding a shade of beige, but for the designer and artist in me, to uncover the emotions and ideologies behind colour - and how mixing them and layering them can uncover even stranger ideas - ... but for the artist, it is imperative. To know that 'Cobalt Ichor' represents a lonely god, or that Thick Wine is the mistake of worrying about ones mistakes... now I can flourish in design and painting. I think. I hope.
Anyway, I also have some rather nifty places for people to go see. My tumblration of links that is also my Website URL should amuse you, in one form or another.

No worries. Your palette is quite risky, due to how subtle it is
