impsandthings: Complete automata

Welcome to Impsandthings. At present I'm working towards marketing and selling my work. You can see a complete portfolio of my work by following the link below or buy work at MISI. My intention is to use this blog to write about some of my ideas, inspirations and techniques and document how I create some of my work.
