Maddie (1.23.26) LOTS of updates that I've completely forgotten to share.
Number one on the docket:
Paper Ducks' Website got a rebrand from yours truly! Beware, I made a lot of flashing gifs for it.
Secondly,
art also got completely reworked and changed. I like it much better with this background, and a lot more of my stuff is on there! I had to redo it because I used this portfolio to apply for an internship I'm really hoping that I get, so cross your fingers
!!!
Thirdly, I posted my first magazine issue on
substack also known as the journal menu option for all of you who have never clicked on it. I really enjoy writing these little magazine issues, and I hope that you all give it a looksie. I'm already planning on making two a month (I know, who am I) and spacing them out. Of course, the next one wouldn't be posted until February, but I'm excited nonetheless. I'm thinking one the first of the month and then a second one about halfway into the month, which would put the next one on February 1st.
Anyways, a lot is happening in my life right now and I surprisingly can't help but feel excited. I feel like all of 2025 I spent going with the current, but I have a newfound sense of optimism for the new year. I feel like Roxanne Richie when she says "cautiously optimistic" in Megamind. Of course there's lots to do and I feel bogged down by it all, but I really think that this will be a good year (hopefully at least better than the mind wipe that 2025 was).

Can you guys believe I actually got all of the Shrines page done? And that I updated two days in a row? I know, I amaze myself every single day (not really). Welcome to all of the visitors, we are almost to 10K views, most of which are me viewing my own website from a phone to make sure that it looks decent. Anyways, back to Shrines. Gravity Falls, Batman, and Baldur's Gate 3 have been cleaned up and the other shrines have been deleted to be redone. Right now, I'm not running on a lot of steam left in the old tank, so I am going to focus all of my efforts to planning other things. I've been wanting to post on Substack, but nowadays the only thing I enjoy doing is apparently writing a lot more than anyone could ever want about the Scarecrow and the Riddler. I think with the death of journalEntries.html (may her soul rest) I'll feel better about posting on Substack, but who knows. Maybe I'll do some contrived psychological analysis for shits and giggles on there, the world and the 'Stack are my oyster. Proverbially speaking.
Maddie (1.12.26) Incredibly excited to announce that this website is now mobile-friendly
!! Literally it took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to figure that one out, seriously. On the other hand, we have a shiny new updated home page with all new goodies and things to discover, as well as a new portfolio page. Next to tackle is Shrines, which as most of you can surmise from previous updates, is my Achilles Heel. But fear not, brave reader, for I will work on it very soon (most likely after I go on a walk and touch some grass).
Maddie (12.30.25) I got asked by my amazingly talented friends to make a website for their band! Please check it out
here!

Shrines have been updated! I kept getting into my head and thought that I had to write something with each shrine, but I find more joy in collecting random memes instead. I think that sense of perfectionism might be part of what has been keeping me back from updating the website and from actually writing. Hopefully this is a sign that things are going to change for the better!
Maddie (12.09.25) AHHHH now that school is finally done for the rest of the year, i'm turning my eye towards updating and maintaining this website. it gives me so much joy to work on it and i keep screwing it up. so now i can finally say that i am specifically dedicating time to work on this.
Maddie (11.22.25)
hey guys, long time no see! recently i've been trying to get more into writing and making art, so i've been neglecting my website. i do really want to work on those shrines, i just have to really think about how i'm going to show them. i'm thinking that i want to completely rehaul the shrines section and the diary section, but honestly i'm not sure how i'm going to do that or what design/vibe i want. i'll keep you updated!
Maddie (11.10.25)
i just added a new experiment to the journal pages: "this face was made for radio!" i am also sifting through new ideas for the shrines list so those updates will come soon as well. planning on a batman and animal crossing shrine in particular.
Maddie (11.04.25)completely overhauled the site yet again... in other news, i just watched the entirety of the witcher season four in one sitting. i would love to make a shrine about it eventually. right now i need to actually make zines to fill my future zine tab in art. lots of exciting changes happening on the website, though! i feel as if i'll never truly reach a point where i'm happy with what i've made, which is super daunting. the concept of having something that will never be perfect is probably super good for me. in other other news, i deleted instagram from my phone and would love to make an experiment entry on that. right now my experiments are on my substack (padtostack). so if you're here, thank you and i hope you enjoy. i'll leave you with a tiny little quote box to finish out the update:
Maddie (09.01.25)
can you believe the last time i updated this website was september? crazy.
I'm a college student in the US who loves managing and media. I redo the look of my website quite often because of how indecisive I am, so feel free to check in and see what the latest spread looks like! NOTE: Most of my pictures look much better on desktop due to sizing, but this website was painstakingly altered to be mobile-friendly.
