Hi. I'm Paul Nixon, a designer living in Mountain View California. My days (and some nights) are spent designing websites for a little company in Cupertino. The rest of my time is spent with my beautiful wife and friends, road cycing and reading your blogs.
The Sheep Market

The Sheep Market. Originally uploaded by NIXON*NOW.
Thousands of workers on Amazon's Mechanical Turk webservice were paid two cents to "draw a sheep facing to the left." Their sheep drawings were collected and printed on collectable stamps. The stamps, as well as animations of their drawing process, were shown at the "Lost in Border" exhibition in the New Wight Gallery at UCLA.
The project continues at www.TheSheepMarket.com.
Interesting project created by Aaron Koblin and thousands of mouse toting "artists" — there is a mind-numbing 10,000 sheep on the site. The Sheep Market project site. (Src. we make money not art and information aesthetics)
