Side projects, rough drafts, half-baked ideas.
Not every project is a win, but every project teaches you something.
Flights, a sketchbook
One of my favorite travel activities is sketching in airports. I don’t love airports. I’ve been delayed and stranded way too many times to call myself a fan, but they are people watching turned up to eleven.
On a recent trip from Berlin to Los Angeles, we found ourselves in BER, Charles de Gaulle and LAX for a few hours at a stretch and it was sketchbook time.
The quote is from Flights by Olga Tokarczuk.
Week Numbers:
What’s interesting about week numbers? Maybe it’s connected to that Oliver Burkeman book, or maybe it’s easier to imagine doing weekly side projects rather than dailies. I’ve abandoned Inktober (and related daily challenges) a half-dozen times and realise that I bristle a bit at doing “someone else’s project”. So this is mine! Enjoy.
Week Numbers, 2024
In previous years I used the week numbers as an excuse to draw on my iPad in the evening and nerd out on some typography.
This year I’ve been learning Rive and realised that this would be a great project to bring some interaction to, and see if I could bring back a little bit of the early 2000s Geocities vibe to my static, Web 2.0 website.
Just like in previous years, not every week will be a winner and that’s okay.
Hover, click, explore. Some will more interactive, some less.
