Artist Creates Fantastical Woodcuts and Engraved Paintings Suited for Fairy Tales [Interview] [Shared]

When Matt Roussel traveled to Mongolia in 2015, something critical dawned upon him: he didn’t want to work as a 3D illustrator anymore. This decision ultimately propelled him toward the multimedia practice for which he’s known today, revolving around everything from woodcuts and prints to ceramics and painted, engraved wood.

During this transition, Roussel first gravitated toward woodcutting, developing a style replete with unusual creatures, playful compositions, and defined, illustrative lines.

Как подготовиться и пройти System Design Interview

System Design Interview — пожалуй, один из самых «бесформенных» этапов технического собеседования. Здесь важно не найти единственно верное решение, а продемонстрировать системное мышление, умение работать с абстракциями, логически выстраивать архитектуру и аргументированно делать выбор технологий. Александр Кучук , эксперт сообщества Spring АйО , подготовил авторскую статью, в которой шагом показывает, как структурировать интервью, какие вопросы задавать, как рассуждать и что оценит интервьюер. Кстати, Александр ведет репозиторий с заметками: github.com/qcha/JBook

"Johnson says that this affinity for the sex “woman” arose out of the work that her mother did to help people live, to allow her, the young Johnson, and her siblings, et cetera, to live. And what we call “femininity” in a political sense is that legacy—that history of life-making. We have to understand this history in this way. We have to understand these movements that I’ve listed as the substance of feminism. Which is to say that the goal of something called “feminism” is to generalize these conditions as daily life, not to escape them: to make everybody collectively responsible for the kinds of provision that Johnson’s mother produced."—Emma Heaney
