A big big thanks to Lucas Ainsworth and Alyssa Hamel of Kinetic Creatures for allowing me to spend the weekend with them at Maker Faire this year. I got to learn a bunch about Lucas' inspiration for the creatures from an industrial design perspective, and relished in Alyssa's artistic attention to detail which ensured that every curious person was welcomed, intrigued and in awe of cardboard animals that come to life...
Bonus points: I even made it into a MaKer Faire Vine!
