I Love Your Work | March ’20

I hoped the 20ies would have been more glam­orous than being stuck, self-quar­an­tined, at home because of Coronavirus.

Start­ed a new job at the begin­ning of Jan­u­ary, it kept me pret­ty busy, so I’ve had much less time to “look at nice things online”, hence the long hiatus.

I’m slight­ly obsessed with maps (this beau­ty hangs in my liv­ing room) and had a go Anvaka’s City Roads. It draws each road from city maps extract­ed from OSM. Results can be export­ed in raster or vec­tor for­mat to play with.
Lon­don Vs Rome:

Exer­cise Book Archive – an ever-grow­ing col­lec­tion
of old exer­cise books from all over the world.

Now, a few play things that will make your GPU/eGPU happy:

david.li – (awe­some) exper­i­ments in WebGL.
Code from the projects on GitHub too!

Par­ti­cle Love by Edward Kwan, of Lusion Stu­dio.

Also, in oth­er news, fol­low­ing the recent injec­tion of cap­i­tal, the guys at ReMark­able unveiled the new ver­sion of their tablet, that seems to fix a few short­com­ings of the orig­i­nal ver­sion (bat­tery life, cpu speed) and made it look sleek too: https://remarkable.com/

Been deep div­ing into 3D art late­ly:

Brand New’s iden­ti­ty for their 2019 con­fer­ence is phe­nom­e­nal, espe­cial­ly the neon light details and the pro­gram covers!

Introducing: I Love Your Work

“Intro­duc­ing” might be a wee bit pre­ten­tious. Just a bit.
I Love Your Work is going to be a month­ly col­lec­tion of links to (most­ly) design and pho­tog­ra­phy work that I admire.
The kind of beau­ti­ful stuff that makes you feel both com­plete­ly worth­less and inspires you to do bet­ter next time. 

In the first batch of links for this Octo­ber:
The bril­liant self por­trai­ture of Juno Calyp­so, and some more about her work on the British Jour­nal of Pho­tog­ra­phy.

Juno Calypso - The Honeymoon

Zhenya Rynzhuk’s stun­ning port­fo­lio site. Found via Val Head­’s UI Ani­ma­tion newslet­ter.

Der­ry Bir­kett. UX Design and a very inter­est­ing col­lec­tion of blog posts, both on the site direct­ly and, lat­er, on Medi­um.

Lucas Zan­ot­to. Check his Insta­gram fil­ters too!

Ian Howorth’s pho­tog­ra­phy places south east Eng­land in a delight­ful­ly dark cin­e­mat­ic dimension.

While on the theme of cre­ativ­i­ty (risky word), in today’s era of most­ly cor­po­rate-anaes­thetized con­tent, art, and cen­sored nip­ples, it is worth to sit back and relive the amaz­ing­ly chaot­ic cre­ative process of the leg­endary Nation­al Lam­poon mag­a­zine via Dough Ken­ney’s life sto­ry and the sto­ries about the mak­ing of Ani­mal House. 

Doug Kenney and Chris Miller

In par­tic­u­lar order:
Fat, Drunk, and Stu­pid by Mat­ty Sim­mons;
Drunk Stoned Bril­liant Dead: The Sto­ry of the Nation­al Lam­poon;
A Futile and Stu­pid Ges­ture, on Netflix.
