This is what happens when a thought tickles my brain. TO THE REMIXER MACHINE! As the Voronoi remixer exports in SVG, a vector format, it can then be extruded using Illustrator…
Er… hello?
This is a blog of openly licensed thinkery. They are doodles, thoughts and ideas of Bryan Mathers – little curious tidbits which have emerged from juicy conversations. Also, this is a dumping ground for abandoned artwork. But one man’s dump is another’s treasure trove – amirite?
