Hello! And welcome

Think I’ve always tried to find ways to not separate my approaches to visual and spatial design too much, for example. The situational/spatial stuff is inevitably complex in a few useful directions, and navigated bodily, and there are always things there that end up feeling most ‘right’ and ‘alive’ when configured in what you might assume to be the ‘wrong’ ways… or simply left as undefined as other bits of life…

Not sure I’d even attempt a UI. But I’m aware, for reasons I think you’re talking about here, how much I engage and trust my physical understandings and structural intuitions in the visual and layout work I do. And also in the sound work. Maybe I’m just always working with them all as objects, events and places… even when it’s about the way a graphic works on screen…

I appreciate its largely a personal aesthetic thing, but there’s often a point where it seems like it’s the right small lack of ‘balance’ or ‘resolve’, a sense of slight inherent ‘awkwardness’, that makes something start to feel credible and ‘natural’ enough to work for others.

Just letting this uncharacteristically quiet one drop again, while it’s still laying around here…

The first time I got distracted, just for a moment, and looked back to see that I’d let it fall invisibly in amongst a couple of hardcore debates on farm made cheese and long form note formatting…!!

Would have hash-tagged ‘drawing’, but it’s throwing up too many fetishised anime kids today to go there…

Not thinking in words or screens at the moment, but found a pencil and scratched this small offer out on a piece of paper… for anyone interested.

And you are very welcome, all. Have a good day…

It’s very late here. I’m going to leave now. And see if everyone is talking about something other than garlic tomorrow…

Just keep doing what you’re doing…

Whatever ’good work’ means…

Midnight here, but I appreciate the thought. Will hang onto it for a few hours, and then…

Just taking the chance to say a personal hello, and thank you. You’re really building something. And #damus is currently giving me my main door in…

Thank you, good to be here

Old enough to remember how the magic and mess of pre google site building felt, but a real baby to this. And here precisely because it started to feel like that to me also.

Still very much trying to find my feet, and get my head around it, but you’re all really opening somewhere. Hope I can help, if only by being here…
