Beautiful!
I found great collaborators in… Jon Huang (a developer and, from all I can tell, warlock).
I will hereby call Jon Huang (or @huang_apiaries) “warlock” from here on out. Other wise words from @abstractsunday:
Simplicity is not about making something without ornament, but rather about making something very complex, then slicing elements away, until you reveal the very essence.
and
The painful and inevitable struggle remains to create in a childlike and openhearted manner, but to be un-wistful and cruel when judging one’s creation.
Eyeshield 21 artist Yūsuke Murata recently completed a Twitter masterpiece, and his inventive online comic can be read in its entirety.
So brilliant.

The Making of This Exquisite Forest
Learn about the making of This Exquisite Forest, an online collaborative art experiment presented by Google and Tate Modern. The project lets users create short animations that build off one another as they explore a specific theme.

A version control for animation…
… and music. Impressive and interesting experiment. Just wish it didn’t feel so “addy” driven. (via: @fastcodesign)
Another excellent post by @robinsloan. This time, it’s on
the process of pushing a work of art or craft from the physical world to the digital world and back again…
Also known as the flip-flop. Who knew?
I would add one more excellent example of this type of flip-flop. I’ve admired the work of the extremely talented Richard Koci Hernandez (or @koci) for many years. And his recent collection of photography goes through this ingenious flip-flop process. Like me, he didn’t know it had a name.
Koci was kind enough to share with me his process and how he gets many of his images to look so analog.
- Shoot photo - digital
- Print out image - physical
- Scratch print with knife - physical
- Reshoot the image with iphone through and old camera viewfinder- physical/digital
- Post to Instagram
Similar process with these images:
