Live Since 26-09-12
A modular Swiss-poster grid of hairline-ruled cells, one loud green, and the name broken across the right margin.
Editions
The front page gets redrawn now and then, and the older drawings are kept rather than thrown away. Each one reads the same posts, projects and art as the live site, so none of them is a snapshot going stale.
Edition Drawn 26-10-19
Thousands of tiny filled circles drift, stir beneath the pointer, and gather into Nader or a word from the playground. Small things, bigger picture.
Edition Drawn 26-10-18
A dark wall of tiny numbered squares, one for every piece. Move across the grid to leave a fading trail of colour, reveal a title and follow a number into the site. Choose a palette to see content previews flip over to numbers, or keep the images open.
Edition Drawn 26-10-17
The old tag cloud, given room to move. A fluid Three.js volume connects writing, playground projects, art, pages and the old blog through shared ideas. Turn it, follow a word and find something unexpected.
Edition Drawn 26-10-16
An IBM PC inspired, full-window screen with a working command line. Boot up, browse writing, projects and art, read readme.txt, or play mini games.
Edition Drawn 26-10-15
A little push, a satisfying clunk, and the VCR takes over. Inspired by Maxell and Scotch videocassettes: black sleeves, bold lettering, RGB stripes and the promise of “Extra Grade” quality. Today’s writing, projects and art, recorded inside.
Edition Drawn 26-10-15
A reminiscence of Microsoft’s 1994 World Wide Web server: Times headings on browser grey, a rainbow skyline above a black hemisphere of stars, and turquoise links to writing, projects and art. There is a text menu as well.
Edition Drawn 26-10-09
Fine black outlines on white paper, JetBrains Mono type, framed panels, and a line-drawn desktop with a working terminal. Browse writing, projects and art with ls, ll and cd, or type help for its manual.
Edition Drawn 26-10-01
Four named agent cursors assemble the front page in parallel, placing and aligning its writing, projects and art. Pause the build, finish it immediately, or replay the choreography.
Edition Drawn 26-09-24
Everything is drawn out of pixels, down to the name, which assembles itself a pixel at a time over a sky of square stars. The panels arrive scattered and stay where they are put, or cut loose in space, where they drift at half size until you click one and it comes in to be read.
Edition Drawn 26-09-14
Every post, project and piece of art is a pastel circle in orbit, and none of them holds its course: they wander, they get gusted, and soft drifting distractions pull them off the ring. Catch one and it stops, says what it is, and rings.
Edition Drawn 26-09-13
One bit per pixel: no grey anywhere. Every middle tone is black and white pixels arranged so the eye mixes them, and the name is drawn from a 5x7 bitmap rather than set.
Edition Drawn 26-09-15
The front page as it would have been built in 1997: a tiled starfield, a marquee across the top, Comic Sans, blinking NEW! tags and every section in a bevelled table with a drop shadow. Nothing here is a GIF — the moving parts are drawn, so they stop when you ask them to.

The editorial front page the poster grid replaced. A green display line, the shirt hanging beside it, and everything below it set as plain ruled lists.
