Mother Of Puppets - Blog Posts

I had a whole post planned about how the Web has nothing to do with spiders - they make their webs based mostly on preprogrammed instinct and some of them get lucky and catch something and live - but then I realized that the Web doesn’t necessarily know why the threads connect the way they do.

So I’m going on an adventure to find out

i might experiment more with her design but here she is.
