The ink spreads at a rate of one day at a time, crazy cool. Was developed for an exhibition that was themed around artwork that evolves while displayed apparently.

If you talk to enough people who play cards you start to hear the same thing over and over, that you need to leverage your luck. What this means is 80% of the time you're going to be delt mediocre hands, and when you're delt cards like these you mostly let them pass on by. But what really differentiates a good gambler from a great one is that when luck is with them, they bet big and leverage their brief advantage to get a huge payoff.

Which is all well and good for poker and casinos but if you think about it, you can actually apply this to real life. 80% of your life is going to be same-old every day kinda days. But once in a while you get delt a hand that's pretty good. The thing is most people don't even realize they got a good deal and just continue on their way like it was every other day. What you gotta to is train yourself to recognize these good hands and then leverage it to your advantage by betting big. What that means is you cancel your meetings, you ignore your phone and even disregard your boss. You focus in on what's happening now and then push to turn this little bit of luck into a huge payoff later.

Or at least that's the plan.

Turns out you don't need talent, you just need lots and lots of hard work and practice. Like insane amount of practice. Going to try to apply this to design.
