Hacking human perception for fun and profit. (he/him)
I'm an #animator at heart, but I also post a lot about #watercolor #simulation, #NonPhotorealisticRendering, #GraffitiArchaeology, #timelapse, #gardening, and whatever else catches my fancy.

Holy shit, i did it, lol. It looks terrible, but it works.
For people who haven't been keeping up with this project, I've been doing ceramics for a couple years now, and recently people kept tagging me in posts about a European feminist hacker collective that was making circuit boards out of court they dug out of the ground and fired in a campfire.
After having an epiphany about some experimental copper ceramics glazes i made last year, i thought i would see if i could solder to them, and i found that i could.
Sooo ... I made a stamp and stamped out some really basic boards for an astable multivibrator (two blinky lights) circuit. I filled the recessed traces with copper powder and had them fired in our pottery kiln.
Now i have ceramic circuit boards.
@toxi @stepheneb @RuthMalan @ewen So… what’s the alternative? (Asking seriously.)
For a few decades now I’ve had the habit of dividing knowledge into two categories: the transferable kind (e.g. the 12 principles of animation) and the necessary evil kind (e.g. where to find the Freeze All Transforms menu in Maya). Any time I have any say in the matter, I make it my goal to maximize the ratio of good to bad knowledge, in myself and those around me.
