/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

Turn it into art

We all use so much sh.. We collect sh.., buy sh.., steal sh.., trade sh.. and then throw sh.. away. So what happens with all this old sh? Is there a life after it leaves our hands? Love her, suffer for her, or turn her into art!

QOSh is a rather unusual side project by Jessica Walsh (partner of Sagmeister & Walsh) and Timothy Goodman.

Have sh.. to get rid of? Check about.

CODIN alert

Where are the programming people? This is a site to learn/compete: CodinGame.

Programming games are turn-based. On each turn, you will get info from standard input (like a map, the enemies, etc.), then your code computes a strategy and writes an action to standard output (like shoot or move).

Authenticity. To be genuine, be vulnerable.

Drive. Do what you love.

Adventure. Take risks and embrace where they take you.

Mindfulness. Exercise a nuanced, articulate understanding.

Appreciation. Dwell on the good.

No meager feat – they got a fantastic website too. Digging their looped live action zooming on studio interiors emblazoning their culture tidbits. Videos expanding on processes. Illustrations. Large type and pictures.

Really really good copywriting – choosy projects (including self-initiated) – blog posts – all this rolled into one uninterrupted digital wandering.

Long live!
