Hey, have you ever imagined turning the grain of an old oak plank into a pixelated map, where every pixel is a tiny time capsule of the tree’s growth? I’ve been tinkering with that, making a digital forest that feels like a living, looping story—thought you might want to see how a wood pattern can get a time‑travel twist.

I’ve drawn the first outline on a fresh sheet—just a grid of pixels laid over the oak’s cross‑section. Imagine each ring turning into a tiny sprite, and I’ve added a glowing pulse that moves backward along the timeline, like a breadcrumb trail. It looks like the tree is whispering “go back, I’m still growing.” When I paint it, the varnish will be the final layer that locks the loop in place. If you like the idea, I can sketch it out on paper or send you a quick image of the grid.
