Inspiration:
Aebrer's Spindleweave Imaginarium shreds pixels in both horizontal and vertical directions. i wanted to explore the smoother vertical path, creating a dithered sigil maker which locks and then releases over time.

Tweetcart Relay is a series of tweetcarts minted and passed between artists who take the prior work, and modify it to their liking. Anyone who likes to make tweetcarts or wants to learn how can join! This particular relay is an ongoing project between aebrer, CarsonK, alexthescott, and p1x3lboy.
