Manolo Begins Processing Sketches
Manolo Gamboa Naon (aka Manoloide) began his Processing sketches in 2012, according to himself on his github page. Considered a prodigy for his extensive, high-quality ouput, Manolo’s work can be viewed—largely unminted—on his behance page. Manolo would go on to make all of this work open-source by the end of the decade.
