Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]
Gourmet Magazine
Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.

I'm digging the design of this science gif
In computer simulations, as an object slides along the surface of ice, a structureless, "amorphous" layer forms. Materials scientists at Saarland University in Germany argue that this process may be the cause of ice’s slipperiness. www.quantamagazine.org/why-is-ice-s...

Whirlyball Chicago Motion Graphic Meetup TONIGHT!!!
It's the end of the year! That means it's time to cram in those remaining projects before the holidays, and commiserate about all the crazy asks clients have while the clock ticks down to 2026.

And it's only $190/person! Covering a shared house, two breakfasts and our group dinner Saturday night.

Prohibited and Permitted look too similar to have literally the opposite meaning. Imagine it in all caps!

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

This entire animation is contained within this single image!

Each frame is given a unique grey value and then stacked. It looks like a depth matte but it contains temporal information instead.

As a huge New York Style Hot Dog fan for years, felt compelled to recreate the poster in a high resolution and managed to find the original photo used in the texture

Many thanks to folks from VGPC for help with identifying blobs, especially Prominos and TBemme

I will not not outsource thinking to a computer that can only guesses at what I probably want.

My decision making is what produces my product. Every decision builds and refines the work until I have something worthy of being hired to create.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.
