I like computers, and I like making things that feel nice to use.

Where this comes from

i. his paintsMy dad painted in bursts. Flowers, landscapes, small things, so casually it was as if he’d seen them finished before he began.
ii. twelve frames a secondThen his pictures started to move. Animation first, then visual effects.
iii. built at homeWhen he set up his own animation and VFX studio, he built the computers for it himself. That’s how computers got into my life.
iv. my turnI can’t paint the way he could. But I can write the code that does.

Every picture here is painted while you watchin your browser, by a simulation of water, pigment and paper running in your browser. The style is inspired by my dad, Jai Mangal Sharma. It all started with him.

What I’m building
