Last week in the studio (CW16-26)

I thought it might be interesting to document what I work on during the week, so I started a regular “Last week in the studio” series. Last week was a bit productive but bitty.

Week 16, 2026: Mountain Duck and Ryan Knaggs get finished

I don’t enjoy bitty weeks as much as when I’m able to concentrate on one thing for the entire week. Still, it was satisfying to get a few things tucked away.

Mountain Duck

The fellas at Iterate came back with a couple of corrections and suggestions for their animated graphics. The biggest change meant thinking about how to include the desktop as a destination, as I’d already done with the “cloud,” without altering the composition of my graphics.

And, of course, I couldn’t resist adding a hidden Easter egg to one of my animations.

Ryan Knaggs

I’ve been working with Arizona-based composer Ryan Knaggs for the past few weeks, and last week his photographer delivered a stunning set of studio portraits. This meant I could crop, edit, and drop them into my design. They look especially good in the interactive panels on Ryan’s new homepage.

This meant we could transfer Ryan’s domain name and push his site live, done and dusted within a month. I’ll write a proper post about Ryan’s design, but in the meantime, check it out.

Spring has sprung at Stuff & Nonsense

After my friend Rachael came over—and we spent a day setting up her soon-to-launch wedding planning business with an Eleventy-based website—I had an idea for a new graphic animation for Stuff & Nonsense to celebrate Spring.
