Designer, artist, iPhone Notes limit pusher. I know the difference between a "font" and a "typeface", but I'm not obnoxious about it.

A note: while I CW the occasional political post, I don't typically CW things like faces or food. My art is weird, often includes eyes/faces/masks, and can be (I'm told) eerie.

Profile pic: a white pixel rendering of a small computer with a sad face, set on on a black background (Susan Kare's immortal "Sad Mac" icon).

Visited @likesoldmacs today and got a chance to see his vast collection of retro Apple tech. Also the first time I've seen #Globaltalk up close.

I wouldn't be surprised if people are still using these machines—and even developing for them—fifty years from now. Maybe even further into the future than that.

Behold the gorgeous daily art produced by @csilverman

... which he draws using the Notes app on an iphone

its drawing toolset is awfully limited, but he pushes it to a dizzying limit
