My Pictures

20 image(s). Original cover artwork from an earlier era of the catalogue. The site moved on to its window-and-emoji vignettes; these stay here, because they were made with care.

All illustrations are original works by Maryna Lagereva. Double-click any picture to view it full size.

  1. Take an idea. Everything on this machine is published under CC BY 4.0: complete, free, no strings. You do not need my permission, my blessing, or my email to start.
  2. Tell me anyway. The "I'm building this" buttons open a thirty-second form (a short email works too), at either moment: when you start or when you ship. Name or alias, a link if you have one, one line about the project.
  3. Get listed. Your project goes on the board and on the idea's own page, with a link, for as long as this site exists. Launched projects take the top spot in their idea's history.

The assistant files every entry. He is very thorough. Buttons not working? Write to hello@thelemanparadox.com.
