Again, these are a bit old, but maybe you missed one or the other. I’ll try and post them in a more timely fashion in the future (but you know… life keeps getting in the way

Ran into this older project by Julian Sartorius some time ago. It’s probably one of the most inspiring things I’ve seen lately! Incidentally I’ve been doing more or less the same thing myself, albeit not in an equally structured and focused way.
