Ahh I love your animation style how fun! Excited to see and read more. I write on creativity and creative process and mostly work with performers, writers, filmmakers and some creative outliers.

Hey, this is Hi. My name is Anja. I've been a graphic designer for many years and I am all about forms and colors and tone. Trained at Bauhaus University in the late nineties. I am focusing on universalist curative design approach, output mainly in printed matters and on museum walls. Quite passionate about creating one hour long playlist voyages, too. Thanks for sharing and caring. 🌸

Hi Anja, welcome! What a fascinating background. I wasn’t even aware Bauhaus University was still in operation. That must have been an incredible experience. So much of my favorite artwork came out of the Bauhaus movement.

A fellow paper maker! I’m looking forward to doing a post soon on paper making. Isn’t it the most therapeutic process?

How completely delightful, and I love learning about new concepts like "concrete poetry:" as in where has that phrase been all my life? I'm a pro artist/writer, examining and sharing what it takes to maintain a life-long career as a creative (as we say today). Driven by curiosity, constantly adapting...as in yet again. Happy to subscribe, Stephanie

Hi Erik 👋 I, too, came to Substack since feeling disenchanted with Instagram. This is a great platform to share experiments and what we’re thinking about. I’m an illustrator currently learning motion design and animation, with a particular interest in merging traditional and digital mediums in all types of storytelling projects. I was drawn to your short film and look forward to staying tapped in. Cheers :)

Heyo, my name is Andreas. I work in the middle of Germany as a mixed-media-mostly-3DCGI-generalist. My passion is paper, so I am focused on this medium regarding my digital simulation works as well while drawing during the nights. I follow your works for a while now, their honesty and serenity blasted me away immediately. Best, A

Hi Andreas, thanks for the kind words. I’d love to see your digital paper simulation work. That sounds really cool. I spent a year trying to learn 3D animation but I could never really make it work for me. I have a ton of respect for those who do it.
