The time change is upon us, more light in the evenings–which I like. It’s been a grind, and I’ll take a little extra sun in whatever way I can get it. I’m still working on my game, with the help of Claude. I’m at the point now where it’s in app testing. If you have […]
For the first time in a long time, I wrote a short thing about my own work–Teaching Computers to Draw. It’s not that I’m not making things, but I often ignore the crucial step of documentation and telling the story. This is very common for designers. We’re always focused on the problem, making, and once […]
While the world continues to spiral, I’m trying to focus on making things. We can’t control it all, so what I can do is make nice things, highlight great work, and hug those that I love. I implemented a new feature on my blog with the help of Cursor and Claude Code. If you want […]
I’ve read all the books about habits. I have some bad ones, and I have some habits that are beneficial. I know the cycle: cue, routine, reward. I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. That doesn’t mean I don’t have goals, improvements, or new projects. So many projects–not enough time. Another habit of mine–starting projects. This […]
I don’t know if I’ll publish next week. I’m leaning towards, yes. We’ll see how I feel next week. No promises. I’m not a huge fan of looking back. I do know that we should take stock on occasion, and I’m feeling good about the year ahead. There’s a lot of work to do. That’s […]
I’ve been trying to take things as they come. It’s hard when things are moving really fast to take a moment and feel it. When I look at the date, I see how much has changed from 1/1/25 to now. At the same time, nothing has changed–yet. It’s coming, time to get on the roller […]
Running a little behind schedule today. This is par for the course in November–I’m getting there. Graphic Design/Illustration I was convinced this was traditional Japanese artwork… until I saw Brendan FraserRental Family’s new posters are a creative masterpiece Typography Fran Sans…a display font in every sense of the term. It’s an interpretation of the destination […]
We’re in the home stretch of 2025. Personally, I can’t wait for this year to be over. That’s a long story, so let’s get to the link show. Photography Dimitri BourriauCapturing abandoned spaces Web Design/UX/UI Six Key Components of UX StrategyLet’s dive into the building blocks of UX strategy and see how it speaks the […]
The week before going to a conference is hectic. You’re trying to wrap things up so you can focus on the event. There are always fifteen other things happening—such is life. I was able to attend Adobe MAX last week, and the new stuff is cool (see the Sneaks link below). But the best part […]
This week is a shorter batch. I’m attending Adobe Max this week, so if you are there too, ping me. I’ve been to Max a few times and I always meet some interesting people. The best thing about it, unlike most other design conferences, it’s all disciplines. You will meet illustrators, film makers, video effects […]
