It's time for another edition of "Curious Things I've Made." This one focuses on an animation and series of sculpture and paintings called "Interior Landscapes." The animation features a beautiful soundtrack by Mark Edwards, Jeff Ray, and Jim Coursey. Full anim here: vimeo.com/852792?share...

This place should be being flooded with donations. A thing that we can do is make sure they have a war chest proportional to that of an Ivy League school.

Teslas, like all his products, are designed to kill people inside and outside the car, in the most horrible ways, and making rescue impossible

Making door latches dependent on the vehicle having power is a criminally bad design decision, and almost certainly was the direct cause of these teens' deaths.

If you don't know Wanda's work- that's shocking! Because she's the best! Oh and edit- I didn't mean to say she was 'the first' to do author-illustrator/lettering combo but that she pushed that forward quite a lot. More on @Moonbow.books lnkd.in/gqqXz9R8 #wandagag #millionsofcats #newtypeface

Have you tried drawing with one of these? With the round tip? It's grand.

The 2nd image here is where this idea began.
