After 52 weeks and 52 cards, the Canvas Cards project is complete. I'll be writing a retrospective, but for now you can view the full gallery and source code for every card here: canvas-cards.glitch.me/ #generativeart #creativecoding

Logging on to post that I'm proud to work here: nytimes.com/2021/12/08/us/po…
I got into SVG and web animation and generative stuff because it was the last vestige of the creative 'old web' that I fell in love with as a youngster. Can't explain how tired I've felt, watching that little creative pocket of calm get smothered to death by NFT's and capitalism

I took some time to write up my thoughts on the whole project. I go over some of the interesting choices, how I got started and what it was like to make a new card every week. Plus some links to resources that helped me out. friendofpixels.com/posts/mak…

I've answered this question a few times in DMs, but I figure it will be helpful to post it publicly too. The Canvas Cards are expressly open-source, non-commercial and will never be available as NFTs. Please share them, remix them, tweak them and make them yours.

I've been having a lot of fun scratching a new itch, making pixel art objects to play with limited sizes and palettes.

going to be an unprecedented number of bad tweets tomorrow—cartoons of dead presidents peering down from heaven with, like, mr. rogers, imagined conversations between kamala and the second gentleman... stay safe out there, folks

It's taken our finest Public Intellectuals most of the day to find a way to Both Sides the seizure of the US Capitol by right wing insurrectionists, but happily they've done it. Everything's going to be OK now.

Today's prompt: Rule 30 of Wolfram's Elementary Cellular Automata. Fun to learn about and fun to mess around with. #genuary

After taking most of 2020 off, I'm back in p5.js for #genuary. Today's prompt was triple nested loops but I had some fun with recursion generally.

I read/appreciate all criticisms of “Hillbilly Elegy,” but this paragraph, in particular, is spot on. When gas was 89 cents, we rolled up with $1.78, sorted by coin.
