Just wanted to say I like the web design aspect of this. I like the design of your site, how lightweight it is, how it's static, and how you use SVGs for images. What did you use to create the SVGs? What static generator, CMS, etc did you use?

Thanks! To draw the images I use Adobe Illustrator, which I've been using for years. The site is nothing more than Skeleton for a simple, responsive CSS grid. I write the text in a markdown editor that can export all the text to HTML <p>'s and <h3>'s. After that it's just a lot of tweaking with CSS and HTML until it's exactly how I imagined it.

SVG is just as light as HTML and CSS, so the entire page ended up being only 103kb, 29kb of which being the two Google fonts.
