4 years ago I started @alotmovingparts to make interactive 3D renderings. 4 years later, we finally have a website to show off our work! take a look—I’m really proud of the final result

After years of working through word-of-mouth, I’m trying something new: openly sharing that I’m available for work. I’m easing back into projects post-sabbatical, and looking for design engineering / product leadership opportunities.
What detractors of free online archives like the Internet Archive don't get is that it's not about getting things for free instead of having to pay for them, it's about the kinds of things that only exist if they are free.
Love the suggestion by James Dolan here that Sting could preserve the rainforest by rendering a computationally-insane amount of content for Sphere, which Sting fans will then fly to Las Vegas to witness.
I just came home from the library with this book! Korab has a nice blurb about the night he took the photo.
Studios are all pretty much hiring Senior Designers only. After what was a few years of freelancers reaching out or discussing how there's no work for them anymore, now students and juniors are struggling to find work (1/9)
nyra.nyc/subscribe But, a psa: we are not a glossy. We do not even have photos. We like to focus our resources and attention on original art, editors and writers.
Best architectural magazine subscription? Got a little money burning a hole in my pocket, help me spend it on something glossy.
