generative castles made with p5js - not a single thing hand-drawn or manually placed. this might be my favorite thing i've ever made. #creativecoding #NFT

hidden valleys as seen through the window of a never ending train ride. made in p5js. #generativeart . feels good to be posting WIPs again

i think my latest p5js algorithm accidentally revealed where they make Hidden Valley Ranch

10,000+ responsive, generative, infinitely composable flowers. surprise drop soon 👀. no further details cuz that's no fun

YOU are going to make a piece of generative art right now in 10 minutes. No watching tutorials, no downloading software. Just your browser and 21 lines of code. By the end you’ll have a basic, but fun abstract generative art collection like this. #generativeart

it took re-writing the code from scratch 10 times over nearly 12 months, but it's all worth it. endless possibilities with this now. and so much fun. generative (sometimes primordial) landscapes. trying to thread the line between abstract and figurative as much as possible.

finally! a little breakthrough on texture for these generative mountain ranges

please tell me i am the first person to ever put tiny towers and knights in a flow field?!?. thought this would be so stupid, but now i love it. #generativeart in p5js

12 months.5 from-scratch rewrites.10k+ tiny knights.<1 second to render. A Daydream for Libby - a generative, collectively crafted, always-changing fairy tale made in p5js - releasing end of July*. * give or take a week

i love the surprise of generative art. left is an 'expected output' that i literally sketched and envisioned before writing the code. right is a 'bug' that i could have never imagined or thought up, yet it is my favorite output of the series to-date. so foreboding and dark

spent an hour working on color. but then our daughter walks in and says "no. i want pink.". she's right as always

fully connected algorithmic, multi-page fairy tales in p5js!. not the most eloquent yet, but i can now make these stories both generative and consistent / interesting across pages. the below is 2 pages from a *single mint*; each mint will be a 4-5 page interactive book

lil generative vineyard on a lake. i wrote the initial code for this in a mad 1-2 hour sprint on an airplane while the baby was sleeping. it is wildly inefficient - each hill is made of thousands and thousands of lines instead of just a simple filled shape, similar to real dirt

i dont want to spam WIPs too much, but this transparent / de-bug view is really getting me rn

i have bad news. i opened #p5js this morning and found my castles bitterly divided and fighting. i blame myself for not refactoring the code earlier. #generativeart

facing an interesting challenge i've yet to run into. i love every output. truly none are bad (imo). but none are surprising either. i need to find ways to increase the chaos. the shrubbery and houses need a lot of work. #generativeart

gn. one of the earliest outputs from my new generative castles system made entirely in #p5js

and it has a name!. 'A Fundamental Dispute'. should be done with final details this week. not planning on doing any marketing. DM me if you'd like to be notified of when it releases (will be on Eth).

you can never spend enough time on the details!. definitely dropping in January, excited to share with you all. #generativeart

A Fundamental Dispute will launch very, very soon (not today tho). You can put on notifications if you’d like, I won’t tweet until then. I’m trying to DM everyone who asked to be notified but there are just too many - I’m sorry if I’m not able to reach you, truly.

ahh so cool. the odds of this happening are so small. two towers, separated by a raised land bridge with an army crossing . the beauty of randomness!

what in the world have i made?. tried making a mountain range generator and ended up with this very strange system. sculptures? trophies? alien ships?

0% royalties btw - your piece is your piece, not mine. i simply cannot believe these numbers tho - 175 eth?!?!?!

wow! cannot believe it. so grateful / thankful to you all. i hope you love your story. i can't wait to go through all of the outputs with Libby.

i'm now trying to find increasingly silly things to throw in a flow field. big or small?

doing a little creative palette cleanser study. no webGL, just 9 lines to make an isometric shape in p5js

every piece is an infinitely unique story. but not just digitally. key commands allow you to remove the color, texture, and story of each piece. i hope you paint, draw, and write your own story with loved ones. going live on Monday at 1 PM CT!

i've gotten a few requests for a discord and my friends @CircolorsDAO were nice enough to open a channel there. if you'd like a dedicated space to discuss future projects or anything with my work, there's a channel called 'genlight' where i'll be doing that. link below:

in most systems, i find that either adding detail or removing detail is much easier to do. what's so interesting about this one right now is that both are working.

Making a quick valentines day print for my wife. What's the corniest caption you can think of?

so close to done. probably 2nd week of January. lots of tweaking of variables now. hardest part is removing a few that i love that don't fit the overall theme. best part is finding new variations i hadn't thought possible (like the hills below). #generativeart

really interesting AFD just changed hands. i really like the hint of white at the top of the clouds. this background was inspired by elementary school doodling on graph paper

A Fundamental Dispute is officially live (link below). A fully on-chain, completely generative exploration of clouds and landscapes. This has been a labor of love. Excited to see what outputs come out of the machine.

the true final test of an algo running it and getting diverse outputs that you're proud of with zero curation. feeling 99% there :). #generativeart

Don't forget to refresh metadata - looks like all renders are done

testnets rolling in - starting to feel real!. still haven't picked a date but will confirm soon and send out via newsletter in my bio. despite what the text says in this one i see two cities forever at odds and forever competing.

39 generative trees. pretty cute ones too. from a quick sensitivity test on a few variables

most of my generative art is just 'cheating' with layers.

i am not an artist and i am not making art. yet. this is the part of the movie that's a training montage. it is still very fun though.

a tiny generative forest made in p5js. so much amazing work on #fxhash uses trees that it's become increasingly difficult to do something unique. going for a woodcut style here

nothing handdrawn, nothing AI; just thousands of dots placed on a canvas in p5js. left = one of the first outputs of this algo from September of last year. right = random output from this week. fun to look at what's stayed the same and what's changed - what do you think?

"What's more likely to make me happy, a hope or a question?". ahhh the beauty of generative text - never would've written this myself and yet i can't stop thinking about what the answer is

"a fairy tale is a lesson wrapped in a story". this project still needs so so much work, but i remain in love with many of the outputs

i've been "done" with this collection for a month now and still can't stop finding new things to add. this is why i think it's so important to have a deadline that is real, but move-able. big s/o to @CyphrETH for agreeing / supporting this approach

"i've devoted my life to studying ~highly dense interesting objects~". 5 years ago an astronomy professor kicked off a lecture to me and 2 friends sitting in a near empty room with this beautiful line. it's a beautiful description for generative art.

finally!. 4 months ago i felt like i nailed the 'walled city' output. but then months of tweaking somehow ruined that type until today when i finally got it back and better than before. i really like the palisade feel of this one.

i think the best gift you can give a parent is to compliment them in front of their kids. i have such fond memories of playing [sport] with my dad and hearing his friends tell me about how talented he was. deeply shaped my world view and respect for him

just fixed another tiny typo and i think i'm officially done. below are my two favorites of the day. can't decide which is best - monochrome triple city with a fading story or candy color pyramid with a nice little forest?

i really want to get a diptych or triptych working for this collection, but it's been difficult to get consistency. this is the closest i've gotten. all in #p5js .

such a strange output. bunch of factors came together at the same time in a way i haven't seen before (aggressive texture, minimal hatching, low rainbow wall, pyramid + giant towers, etc.) . one of my all time favorites to-date
