About

I'm Jakob Burrows and I started awesomepedia.org in 2008 to share things I make. I was a teenager, living in the Swedish countryside, scribbling webcomics. It's now 2025 (this website is 17 years old!) and a lot has changed; e.g. I now live in Ireland and have a dog. But one thing hasn't changed - I'm still making things and sharing them right here! Though social media has wormed its way into all of our lives, I think all creative people should curate their own digital oasis, away from toxic algorithms and tracking.

So stick around and you might enjoy video essays about writing, absurd animations, podcasts about history and television, and comics where I hang out with mythological figures. You can also follow me on YouTube, Bluesky, and TikTok.
