Portfolio comin’

I have been applying for work in fantastic little Melbourne town this past week, and managed to pull together a PDF folio of sorts, despite leaving a large amount of work on DVDs that got hastily packed into a box to go on a boat to save me from paying hefty luggage fees due to my bag being 10 kilos over the limit. Click on the image above to bask in its sumptuous aura~ it’s 7mb.

undeconstructed procreativity

I have always enjoyed walking past a construction site everyday, watching the soil being dug, the foundations laid, trying to guess which parts are for earthquake protection and which are to simply make it stand. Oftentime ultimately I am disappointed by the final result: a plain thing, evidently created more as a house where landlords can find more comfort than tenants, with their false brick façades and kitchens in the entrance hallway.
Occasionally this is not the case, but more often than not I far enjoyed having the development site to catch my eye.
In this spirit, I am building this, my website, entirely in public. As I do not, and do not entirely intend to, code for a living, the process will be slow and frought with loose wiring and girders that support nothing, and the occasional collapse.

I hope you enjoy watching it come together as much as I am.

YUCK

Gutted the CSS file for overhaul.

Things should look half-constructed again in a few hours. tomorrow.

Not that anoyone’s reading yet, anyway.

Edit:
Okay Google Analytics tells me that’s not quite true, and the occasional person is stopping by to poke around for half a second. If that’s you, then… hello!

new socks

The Seibu Lions won some sort of baseball game, so Seibu was having some celebratory sales. Picked up a couple new pairs of socks.

pattern consumption

Regarding the previous two posts:

I have been keeping two sketchbooks, one for experiments in patterns using Prismacolor markers on a square-grid system, the other for typographical interpretations of whatever film or book I just finished consumption of, using a black Pentel 筆 pen.

There is a backlog. Expect consumed material to update with greater frequency until I get caught up to present day, at which point updates will depend on the frequency of consumption and the complexity of the typography I am attempting.

WOOPS

Broke something. Should probably be editing in a separate program and pasting the code in, rather than editing in the wordpress theme design window directly. I’ll fix things up at home later.
