I think the British people knew what they voted for. I don’t think the people who set the question knew what they were asking. #bbcqt #EUref

Audio AR/VR
I still think that a purely audio version of AR and VR has the potential to become a huge deal, way more than current tracking seems to suggest.
Imagine having the audio of this working whilst you walk around the modern city, and it interacting as you move
Intermittently Regular #365 Sketch Project Update 158-161
More immediate updates are available on Snapchat & Instagram.
Transitory Content Platforms for Animators.
“No, Homer, very few cartoons go out live, it’s a terrible strain on the animator’s wrist.”
Further to my experimenting in Instagram Stories, I fired up the old Snapchat account and am now posting (?) there regularly.
I’m trying to keep the two streams populate with separate content, and indeed, it is already very clear the difference in form. Instagram video quality is higher, so animation (well, my kind of animation anyway) does break up so badly in the compression. Also Instagram doesn’t massively foreground when you have loaded something from the camera roll, any manipulated or animated video gets put in a frame in Snapchat.
Follow me on Snapchat and Instagram, and see what you think.
VR will not get mainstream until mobile works with it fluently.
On Instagram Stories.
These are joined up Instagram Stories from last month.
I’ve been having lots of fun playing with the new facility, it’s more friendly to animators than Snapchat, I feel. The lack of pressure of permanence invites experimentation, because if you fail, it’s gone in 24 hours, so who cares. That’s the way wonderful accidents can happen.
And we like those.

Giving the voices a name
I was extremely honoured to have my drawings mentioned in this Susannah Breslin piece on self negotiation and naming one’s inner critics:
“There’s Hypochron, whose superpower is overreacting to everything and also catastrophizing. Let’s not forget Lay-Ze-Bonez, which is quick to pronounce any lag in productivity a testament to one’s laziness. And, finally, we’ve got I’m Thirsty. I’m Thirsty is a head-only it-thing that lives at the bottom of a glass that is barely filled with water. It’s always thirsty. Despite the water. I hope you enjoyed meeting my new friends! It’s actually been sort of interesting and effective to think of the voices in this way. It makes them easier to be rational in relationship to. Let’s face it, these guys suck. As Ury writes: ‘Self-judgment may be the greatest barrier to self-understanding.’ “
