Crowey's Misc. Creations

Short Films & Videos

Magic Owl Media on Youtube. Once upon a time, we made a bunch of weird little movies. Rowanhood (30 min) the most recent. The Better Half (10 min) won a few film festival awards. Sandwichotron 3000: A Cut Above, a fake infomercial, was my favorite small project.

Namey

Generates a bunch of quasi-historically accurate names, plus some fantastical ones. It's amazing.

Quantum Scheherazade Story Generator (latest "stable" version)

A high-fallutin' database-driven narrative engine that tells you all sorts of stories with, frankly, very little censorship. If you're of a superstitious inclination, hell, you could even use it for bibliomancy, placing your fortune in the hands of the Law of Synchronicity and see what insights it will tell you about your current situation in life. If you want to up the existential stakes or whatever. You do you. (This project was in development for 5 years, but NPC Gen is the future for newer, matured efforts.)

Eudaemonia Character Generator (in development)

Generates a character. Tells their life story in pivotal events. Not great, honestly, but it's still in mediocre prototype phase.

Crowey's NPC Generator

Generates a D&D-esque NPC with loose backstory & context.

Kitty Catcher (works in Chrome/Brave but not Firefox)

You are a crazy cat lady. You must catch the cats. And yet, sometimes, the cat runs between your legs, or jumps over you. I'll be the first to tell you that there is no point to this, except exploration of Javascript collisions. Moreover, this now appears to be broken in most browsers, as of Feb 2021, except for my friend in Sweden, who is still playing it basically every day without fail, so...go ahead and have a go. Or don't. Maybe it's too close to reality anyway, for some of us.

Number Guesser 2.0

Guess the number. Be a hero.

Wordsmith

Generates a bunch of technically pronounceable words of varying lengths based on vowel-consonant pairings. Eventually will incorporate language rules to produce consistent-sounding words from made-up languages. Currently is predicated only by what is theoretically a sound a human mouth can make.

Original Music & Truly Bizarre Covers

Feast yer ears on the psychedelic folk jams of Croweykid.

Photography Site

My portfolio site, including a wide range of photography shot over the years.

Instagram of Art

Behold the bizarre cartoons of Croweykid. I'm not on social media a lot; I'm not sure I want to entrust any images so dear to me to the clutches of Big Tech's monopoly on people's attention & the cloud. Musk owns Twitter/X now, and in general these sites seem to eat up a lot of time and attention I personally find better applied to books and creative projects. I rebuke the Zuckersphere as a vortex of data privacy violations and thereby an anathema to essential human rights. Yet what's the point of having art in a vacuum/forgotten on my own harddrive? There is obviously a conundrum between morality and pragmatism here. So my engagement with this cognitive dissonance is scattered and begrudging...mostly resulting in archives of my old accounts, without much active participation in them. If someone wants to know what I've been working on, I'll send a private gallery link or PDF.

Instagram of Nature Photography Instagram

Nature & general sort of documentary photos. Largely archival.

Instagram of Human Photography

Photos exploring the diversity of human expression. Largely archival.
