I’m not a fan of the band Toto. Their song Africa is an 80’s anthem, ranking #492 on Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest songs of all time. It’s not that high on my list, but like most creative endeavors, it’s subjective. If you get to the bottom of this week’s list, you’ll find a gem of […]
I thought I might take this week off. Nope, didn’t happen. Maybe in December, I’ll skip one–maybe not.

Humans are strangely affected by numbers, patterns, chords, and repetition. We gravitate towards them like moths to a light. We can’t look away. We seek them out in chaos. We constantly try to bring some logic to the thousands of data points in our vision. We want things to make sense, to see the system […]
I was getting started on assembling this week’s post and I suddenly found myself deep down a web rabbit hole that I couldn’t escape.

I’m looking forward to Summer: warm days–like the whole day, longer days of light, and ice-filled beverages. I can’t wait for all of these things and more.

There isn’t enough time in the day, week, or month. That’s how it feels lately. Maybe it’s the new year energy, I don’t know. It’s February and I’ve got a long list of to-do’s. First one that I’m checking off–another creative links post. Enjoy. Illustration/3D Melitta Annual Report 2020DAQ Studio Various Illustrations 2022 – 2023Denis […]
