Teejay VanSlyke is an interdisciplinary do-nothing and perennial slacker currently residing in Baltimore, Maryland. When he’s not lounging around in his bathrobe staring into space, he makes peculiar writings, music, and doodles. Sometimes, when the angry economic winds necessitate it, he also does technical work for his one-man band web engineering firm, Palimpsest Engineering.

He’s sustained himself through remote work for his entire career, which has led him on a journey of slow travel across the United States, Canada, and Europe. In this time, he’s lived cradled by the rainy-day hipness of Portland, on up to his big brother Seattle, across the desert, mountains, and bayous in his bespoke campervan Vincent to Florida, and on up the east coast to Baltimore, with stints in Canada, France, and Germany sprinkled in between.

A psychological cross between a gazelle and a housecat, Teejay alternates periods of intense movement with ones of molasses-like sloth. He believes in the power of the creative impulse to cure the modern disease of overconsumption and the unique kind of ennui so prevalent in the twenty-first century.
