satellite string
Dreamed (dreamt?) of a string of satellites tracking across the night sky. Made the still sketch in to a gif to show the movement. What’s weird is, sometimes the satellites track right to left across the image as intended, but sometimes they appear to track left to right. Is that just me or is that…
