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 […]

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.

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 […]
Adobe Max is next week. I’m not prepared at all. It snuck up on me. If you are going to be there, reach out. I’ve gotta go build my schedule right now and get some stuff done before.
