I've got some unexpected availability in the coming weeks, so if you or someone you know need a logo, do hit me up! I'm working on a new website but you can check some recent work here: larkef.com ✉️ info@larkef.com | ✈️ Telegram: @larkef | 🥚 DM here on Twitter

Women just send each other 12 minute voicenotes. Truly unreal. If any of my friends would send me a 12 minute voicenote I would assume he was on his deathbed sending me his last words. (And pissed off that it took so much yapping)

an esoteric colour picker exploring perceptual ambiguities, drawn from ~3 million human-labelled colours. for each named colour (eg. "pink"), the disc represents the two primary axes of uncertainty in the data, and the slider exposes a third axis. more details below.

I designed the new icon set for @cursor_ai. ✨ 420 icons. 2 sizes. 2 styles. One single family. Simple, beautiful and practical – with just enough character to feel satisfying.

It took me exactly 99 (!) sketches to find the right shape I had in mind for the new @screenstudio logo. Literally dreamt about it at night till I nailed the sketched and digital version. There's no end to cool stuff you can make if you really take the time.

@Serhos @MihaiDolganiuc @screenstudio 🙏 Thanks mate.

@Larkef @MihaiDolganiuc @screenstudio Love it, it looks so cool!

@the_robvb @screenstudio Dankjewel man!

@Larkef @screenstudio Damn that’s a great logo

@Typefool_ @screenstudio Thanks!

@Larkef @screenstudio Solid!

@0xSMW I actually don’t use the app much actually. Don’t mind the adverts.

@Larkef I pay a few euros a month to not have ads on IG, have never bought anything

Instagram ads: A liability. So good I need to hide my wallet. It’s magic how well they seem to know me. Twitter ads: A few crypto scams. Dropshipped gizmos of questionable quality. A dating site for the unvaxxed. I’m a complete stranger to them. 🤡

A bit deeper work on this logo and visual identity project for Cachely, a smart memory layer for your workflow. 🦝 Always loved those adorable little creatures!

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

Peanuts in Coke is one of the most accidentally perfect food pairings in history, and the chemistry explains why this guy can't go back. Coca-Cola sits at pH 2.5, roughly the same acidity as stomach acid. When you drop roasted peanuts into that, the phosphoric acid partially denatures the surface proteins on the nut, releasing free glutamate. You're generating umami in real time inside the glass. The salt on the peanuts suppresses bitter taste receptors on your tongue, which amplifies your perception of sweetness without adding a single gram of sugar. Coca-Cola already has 39g of sugar per can. Your brain registers it as even sweeter because the salt is clearing the noise from competing flavor signals. Then carbonation does two things. CO2 dissolved in liquid forms carbonic acid, which triggers pain receptors (TRPA1), not taste receptors. That mild irritation resets your palate between sips so you never get flavor fatigue. Every sip hits like the first. Second, the bubbles physically agitate the peanut surface, accelerating the protein breakdown and glutamate release. The longer the peanuts sit, the more umami you extract. The fat content seals it. Peanuts are 49% fat by weight. Fat is the only macronutrient that activates CD36 receptors, which your brain interprets as richness and satisfaction. Mix that with sugar, salt, acid, umami, and carbonation and you've accidentally triggered every major reward pathway in the human taste system simultaneously. Georgia farmers in the 1920s did this because they needed one hand free while working. They stumbled into the optimal salt-acid-umami-fat-carbonation loop a century before food science could explain why it worked.
