Tools - Oliver J. Simpson

I build the tools I wish existed. Each of these began as a gap in my own practice and grew, with AI as a collaborator, into a small browser instrument built around a single sharp idea: type bent into circuitry, images broken down to dither and halftone, form caught mid-render. Enough character to carry a poster, a web animation, a cover, or whatever a project is still missing.

Circuit

Draw circuit-board artwork by hand or let the tool grow it for you: traces snap to a grid, chips, pads, and labels drop in, and auto-fill extends a whole board from your lines. Save and reload projects, step back through every change, and export SVG, PNG, or JPG stills — or record the draw-on animation as video.

Use it for Tech-flavoured posters and covers, PCB-style brand patterns, packaging textures, or looping intro animations.

Render

Drop a 3D model into the browser, light it with HDRIs, and push it through render styles — clay, matcap, toon, x-ray, wireframe — plus mesh deformers and a stacked post-FX grade with a before/after split. Export stills at print or social sizes, or turntable and keyframe camera moves into video.

Use it for Product and logo renders, moodboard frames, Instagram stories and carousels, or quick look-dev without opening Blender.

Dither

Turns type or images into dithered line-screens: ribbons of ink that swell and taper with the tones underneath. Kern directly on the canvas, compare against the original with a draggable split, keyframe any control, and export print-ready SVG, PNG/JPG stills, or video.

Use it for Posters and record covers, editorial headers, riso and screen-print artwork, or type-driven motion loops.

Pixel

Rebuilds type and images from custom pixels — squares, dots, symbols, even letters — with halftone sizing, grain, and drop shadows. Compare against the source with the split slider, keyframe every control, and export SVG, PNG/JPG, or video.

Use it for Retro lockups and game-style titles, LED and flip-dot looks, sticker sheets, or chunky social animations.
