Back from Holiday
Back fromPula.
A portfolio in progress.
Things found online.
I’m back from a holiday in Pula, Croatia. I had a job lined up for my return, but it’s been postponed. One of the slightly annoying things about freelancing: you block out the dates, organise your time, and then the schedule changes.
So I’m using this unexpected bit of free time to keep working on my portfolio site, which is still my main priority. It’s coming along nicely, although filling your own portfolio is honestly a bit of a slog. Choosing the projects, finding the images, working out how to present it all… that’s a job in itself.
I’m also working on two other websites that I can’t talk about yet. One of them is a properly WTF project that I should be able to show you before too long.
I’d also like to get into the habit of writing here more often. A few updates, things I’m working on, and discoveries worth sharing. I’ll try to keep it going.
Good things.
Strange things.
In the meantime, here are a few things I’ve saved while wandering around the internet.
Orwell: 2+2=5
The trailer for Raoul Peck’s documentary on George Orwell and the way his writing resonates today.
South Park IRL. Almost.
South Park reimagined by Abandoned Films as a 1950s movie, using AI.
Day of the Tentacle
Daniel Fritsche rebuilt the game’s intro in Blender, with a claymation look.
Léguman & Téléchat
A wonderfully WTF bit of French television from when I was a kid. We weren’t short of weird stuff back then either.
BRAINROT!
An animation by Lazy Square, with the voice of Thomas Middleditch. Your dose of brainrot.
2026, in motion
Ben Marriott’s selection of the best motion design and animation of the year so far. Plenty to feed your eyes.
That’s AI
A short film by Sebastian Lopez that I thought was pretty good. One detail worth mentioning: the team says no AI was used to make it.
Della, live
The musical discovery in this selection: Della, live at Fengaros Reacts.
LITTERED MVMNTS
A detour into contemporary dance with this film by Shoji Yamasaki.
Volvo Centum
A really interesting example of typography applied to industry: a typeface designed to improve legibility, particularly in car interfaces.
Two more
rabbit holes.
Brodie Kaman
An account to discover for graphic design and art direction, with plenty of connections to music.
A robot on Amazon.
So you can buy a Unitree robot on Amazon now. Unfortunately, I’m not rich enough for that yet. For now, I’m just looking.
