Chez Rio is open!
I built a Gemini capsule. Not the Google one, but the tiny space-capsule sort. You can reach it at gemini://mariobreskic.de/ using a Gemini client such as Lagrange. I have been meaning to do this for a while. Now I finally have a backstage area where I can get properly weird about art, creativity, and design.…

The Right System Already Exists
In this post, I write about how my piecemeal research into building my own practice and schedules, from ECTS to a sort of RPG system, has come to an end with the simple acceptance that the best formal solution already exists. These are the books I will use as the basis for my self-regulated reconstruction…

The Switch
Going pro all of a sudden, looking at my library as not just a means to further study, but as my stepping stones to becoming what is called an expert of a domain. I am not going to bore you with details (especially because that would just reek of insecurity, and I don’t want to…

File compression on export as stylistic choice
Anyone working with digital art knows the distinction between the file in which the work is actually made, often in a proprietary format, and the file exported for publication. Using PNG for graphic material such as typography, lettering, and flat shapes, while choosing some form of JPEG for photographic material, is therefore nothing new. You…
