Artist vs Art

A photo of me. I have short brown hair parted to the left and oversized nerdy glasses. I am wearing a black shirt.

A sample from a graphic design project I worked on while at university. The background is a deep orange with off white lettering and typographic symbols arranged to accentuate the natural forms of the typeface. The piece acts heads the upper two thirds of a page featuring the second half of an essay on the typeface.

The font used is EB Garamond, which is open source. The symbols for 4, 5, 6, and 7 are merged together along with a flourish to create a visually interesting effect.

The page features a quote from the typeface’s original designer: “The art I practice is but a small thing” - Claude Garamont, 1545

Had a go at working with the Bluesky API, It's a little rough around the edges especially with OneOf types and quirkyness with embeds I still need to understand, but it didn't take long to get going with it. It's been ages since social media was this open 😊

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

Skógafoss waterfall, Iceland. The grass and moss-covered hill side ends abruptly with a sheer drop which the shallow rocky river falls over.

There must be a dev feed, anyone have a good one?

A screenshot of a BlueSky search for “devsky”. The feeds tab shows “No results found for devsky”.

Any recommendations for a slowly growing inclusive & ethical design bookshelf?

Four books laid out on a black desk lined with lights; Web Accessibility Cookbook by Manuel Matuzović, A Web For Everyone by Sarah Horton and Whitney Quesenbery, Mismatch by Kat Holmes, and The Conscious Creative by Kelly Small.

Is there a way to auto-save likes to raindrop.io from here yet, even if it’s through IFTTT?

Trying to compile some resources for a UK designer friend who has been busy raising kids for a few years. She's keen to learn web dev and catch up on design best practices, is this a decent list to start off? Any other resources I should recommend? arc.net/space/1159C5...

So far the cat is doing all the heavy lifting on this account and I think I’m ok with that

Happy Halloween 🎃

Two pumpkins, one carved with a pair of bats and the other with a half-baked Emil / Skeleton face. In the centre is A light-up orange LED sign says “Trick or Treat” in cursive, and a now empty treat bucket with “Spooky” sits on the left.

I don’t post often enough to come up with something, but since you’re here- meet my cat, Salem.

Salem, A handsome (in obligated to say) black cat sleeping on the back of a sofa, one paw with claws outstretched. He is very flat.
