When lines collide, unexpected things happen.

Alice wants to send Bob a secret…
How can she avoid exchanging keys with Bob while at the same time avoid an eavesdropping Eve?

Alice places the secret inside a box.

She places a padlock and sends it to Bob.

Bob adds his own padlock and sends it back to Alice.

Alice removes her padlock and sends it back to Bob.

Bob opens his padlock and removes the secret.

Mission accomplished: the secret changed hands while no keys were exchanged.

Inspired by a passage on encryption on Simon Singh’s The Code Book.

Detail of a plant in my place.

Here’s a little guitar tap. Just a simple WIP.

I’d like to see this as a Missoni knit.

The website has been down these past few days.
It’s now fixed, hmm, I think.

I’ll post some stuff soon enough.
Be cool, cause I’m not.

So what’s happening?
I’ve been posting a lot less than I’m used to…

Why?

My design energy is focused on a nice big project that I’ve been working on since December.
I’ll show it in a couple of months or so.

In the meantime, I’m sketching more than usual, and I’m starting to write a book.
Let’s see how that pans out///

How about you?
What are you doing?
