    Life has been busy the past few days, so I played with the shape builder tool doing some pixel playing. Something about coloring by clicking feels pretty therapeutic.

  • more eyes

    Today I played disc golf for the first time! Also animated some eyes.

  • paper crane

    When I was growing up (younger than ten) our neighbors hosted a Japanese exchange student, who also befriended my family.

  • a lotus for you, a Buddha to be

    Here is part of a sketch for a larger piece, involving circuit patterns. It’s been on hold for a while but maybe I’ll come back to it soon. I could say some other stuff too, but I’m running a marathon, not a track meet.

  • one day at a time

    Note to self: don’t take life too seriously. Remember to enjoy this strange existence.
