Seeds in motion

Animating with index cards

The same animation as above, but without color editing

I’m still collecting and planting seeds, but now it’s animated!

I send out this newsletter every week, but that doesn’t mean creative processes fit within a weekly schedule. Ideas follow deadlines as much as a deer follows the stock market.

Kate Bingaman-Burt said, “I love a deadline. It’s the only way I can get things finished. It’s the reason I give myself two hours to write the newsletter. If I didn’t have a framework for making, nothing would get made.” → LINK

Chuck Close said, “Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work.”

It’s true. The work comes from doing the work.

I’m looking for a cheap and convenient way to make a bunch of websites. I would like to create a little ecosystem of different projects with different URLs. For example: project1.com, project2.com, etc.

Do you know how to do this?
