The Jerks

By the always brilliant Iorama Studo – The Jerks is a new app that uses body tracking technology to animate a bunch of fun jerky characters. Whilst this sort of technology has been around for a long time (think Jar Jar Binks and Gollum), the improvements in phone cameras and the amount of processing power […]

Andrés Reisinger

If it becomes possible before the end of my life to upload me into the cloud, where I live for eternity, then I would chose to live here at this incredibly imagined snowy escape by Andrés Reisinger. No doubt the metaverse will become a vibrant, hectic and strange place, surrounds like this seem perfect for […]

Open AI DALL·E

Well here is a can of worms. Fun and frightening all at the same time. Enough to make any image creator face palm. I have been curiously playing with the Open AI DALL·E 2 software which can create realistic images from text prompts. Much like the ability to accurately and quickly find what you are […]

Oimo Jelly

Still a big sucker for these type of delightful mouse art / toys. Click and drag and play and be in awe of saharan’s cool coding abilities. I am. Fun to play. Images below are screen grabs only – go here for the fun jelly and there is also plenty of other fun coding experiments […]

Looom

Looom, not a typo, this wonderful app deserves the extra ooooh. I remember reading about Looom before it was released and then following along when it did become available, only to then realise that my ipad was so old that the app would not function, major doh. Then Covid, lockdown, new app for mind maintenance […]

Earthrise

Seems an appropriate time to remind ourselves that we all share that little blue dot. Awe and wonder need restoring.

Elementor Showcase 2021

Very proud to have made the top 10 in the Elementor End-of-Year Showcase for 2021. Earlier in the year the Grenade Studio folio website made the Elementor best of August 2021 list. It was then shortlisted for the End-of-Year top 30 and has come in at 8th position, making the top 10. Featuring great design […]
