Oh how cool.
My Artemis II CSS art got featured in this week's CodePen Spark (thank you @codepen.io ), right alongside work by some of the people I respect most and learned CSS art from — @alvaromontoro.com and @css-only.dev. What a talented, fun, niche community. I love it.

The iconic modern symbol of St. Patrick's Day
It's been a minute since I made one of these single-div CSS art pieces, I'm a bit out of practice, but with so much of my work now sending the code off to AI to assemble, it's a joy to return to crafting CSS Art by hand.

Every silver lining starts as someone squinting really hard at a cloud.
The best ideas are the ones that won’t stop pestering you until you try them.
Every step forward starts with the courage to look a little foolish.
