Alvaro Montoro — Web developer and CSS artist
CSS artist and creative coder known for CSS illustrations, comiCSS webcomic, and Almond.CSS.
alvaromontoro.com/blogAlvaro Montoro does things with CSS that shouldn't be possible — optical illusions, cartoon characters, entire games — and then writes about how he did it in a way that makes you want to try. But his blog isn't just party tricks: he writes seriously about web accessibility, HTML semantics, and the fundamentals that make creative work on the web actually work for everyone. With 300+ articles over more than a decade, the archive is a goldmine for anyone who thinks the web can be both playful and principled.
