Another update to my vibe-coded stamp maker!
Been working on Chinese character stamps, with a live 3D preview and adjustable settings for printing.
It's really nice being able to tweak everything in one place instead of going back and forth between different tools.
Still a few things I want to improve!
Turning the colors I notice around Lisbon into a series of posters, each inspired by a different photograph.
01 [Blue in Detail] started with the blue Portuguese tiles, exploring their intricate patterns, ceramic tones, and small details.
02 [Color on Repeat] explored the rhythm of blue and yellow tiles, using repetition as the starting point for the design.
I sampled colors from my photographs and used Canva Craft to explore layouts, typography, and graphic elements. Then I refined the designs by hand, adjusting the colors, spacing, and text.
THE TIME TRAVELER : The man who saw our today and drew it yesterday.
Postcards from the Future
Somewhere in nineteenth-century Nigeria, an artist began drawing things that did not yet exist.
He had traveled into the future, witnessing flying machines, iron elephants, and serpents of steel.
Returning with nothing but memories, he illustrated these wonders within the familiar landscapes and everyday life of his homeland.
He turned his drawings into postcards, sharing visions of a world his people could scarcely imagine.
To them, they were fantasies while to us, they are the world we live in today.
