(taking a break from 3d type)
Took a stab at rigging, animating and retexturing this beautiful model of a Stewart Platform by @starrow_sparrow.
Mechanical rigs always challenge my patience, but when they work as intended in the end, it was all worth the effort.

It's been a long time coming, here it finally is. Hardware Operations, my new home on the internet, my new direction & lane of work.
I've always been fascinated by physical products — the materials, design and engineering that goes into making them. And I feel that today, and in the future I expect to come, analog artifacts will only become more valuable to our human experience.
At HO I want to do my little part in making great products become reality, making them visible to the people who ought to know about them and doing them justice visually.
Hire me for product visualization & animation ✌️
PS: the whole experimental 3d type game is paused for now, except for the occasional ideal project, if it comes my way 🦑
#productvisualization #industrialdesign
I've been starting to build something in private for the past couple of weeks. It isn't very typographic but it is still very 3d.
While it feels like a big shift it's actually more of a pivot back to where I started my whole 3D journey from. Because, who doesn't love an occasional pivot, right?

OPENING PARTY KLIMA BIENNALE WIEN — with a contribution by Vincent Wagner curated by VIENNA DESIGN WEEK
An evening between manifesto and dancefloor.
The night begins with Bürgerin Donau: a visual manifesto exploring the idea of the Danube as a rights-bearing entity, written by Katja Schechtner and Alex Putzer. In collaboration with VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, Vincent Wagner translated this vision into an immersive animation.
His work invites us to experience the river from shifting perspectives: are we floating above the surface or moving beneath it? This deliberate ambiguity reflects the Danube as a shared habitat, for life within the water and along its banks. Hints of vegetation recall the edges of the Alte Donau and Donauinsel, forming a living transition between water and land.
Gentle, continuous movement mirrors the calm yet unstoppable flow of the river, while a subtle, slow soundtrack amplifies its rhythm. A quiet, almost Viennese melancholy runs through the piece, a mood between stillness, transience, and connection.
“The animation invites us to see the Danube as a living presence — shaping, connecting, and constantly in motion.”
From there, the night opens up: BC-A (Barbara Alt) and Anna Ullrich take over the decks.
Programm
20:00 — Doors open
20:30 — Bürgerin Donau (presentation & visuals powered by VIENNA DESIGN WEEK)
21:00 — BC-A (sound performance → DJ set)
00:00 — Anna Ullrich (DJ set)
02:00 — End
Join us to listen, to look, and to celebrate the opening of Klima Biennale Wien.

The more our lives seem to accelerate, the more I find myself enjoying the slow, hand made work. I feel it often communicates just as much, if not more than, any polished perfectly digital counterpart. Here's a little frame by frame type exploration with a patient and flexible A.

I've recently been diving into old publications to find new inspiration for type and lettering. Here's a little something I found 🔤

TC Bubble, my bubbly parametric 3D typeface is quite adept at shape shifting and material switches; vertex maps also do their part.

Recently started experimenting with CAD tools for 3d typography. The amount of accuracy and speed is just a breath of fresh air coming from a motion 3D package.
This isn't the most technically complex model, of course, but the possiblities are endless. More to come 🙌

Small screens, large screens, medium screens, screens on our wrists, in our pockets, right in front of our eyes, they're everywhere all the time.
I question the ergonomics, I question the contribution to (life)time well spent. I have no solution for this, but plenty of questions.

Decision paralysis is real 🎈 I recently came across an interview with @ohnotypeco over at @oversettext. And while the whole interview is worth watching, this little exchange about having too many options to choose from and having to "put walls on that", as James so clearly put it, hit home for me.
How do you freeze or block out other interests, to commit fully to one lane? And even if you manage to put that other stuff behind a wall, doesn't it continue floating around, occasionally showing up clearly, almost as if you could grab it?
Channeling these thoughts, here's some OHno Forevs Italic behind a thick sheet of ice.
Shout-out @antoncreations for pointing me towards the interview 🙌
