Last week, I continued developing Moonwalk Audio’s new website, turning a collection of sketches and objects into an interactive SVG fantasy world. There’s still plenty to do, but the most extravagant animation I’ve created so far is taking shape.
It was heads-down in the studio last week, working on Moonwalk Audio’s new website and finishing my book. But the week started with a bang, then another bang, then a crash.
