Before I learned how to program I wanted to be an artist. My long career in videogames has allowed me to experiment with many digital art forms and procedural generation. In recent years my focus has turned to generative art. I wrote a short autobiography about my journey that you can read for more background.

I’ve released thousands of pieces so I will highlight just a few of my favorites here. I’ve also created an interactive gallery you can visit.

Generative Art

Some of my most ambitious works are my longform generative art projects. These are standalone webpages that generate unique images with a random seed. For each project I start with a fun concept and then explore it with different variations of the core algorithm. I also often write a short post about these works which explains some of my thought process and how the tech works.

Astronomic Comics

A space comic book generator. One of my most popular generative works, it creates a wide variety of interesting space comic book pages using only vanilla JavaScript. This works was also featured in the People’s Gallery of Austin Texas and currently on display at city hall!

Rad Impressions

This project generates abstract 3D sculptures and renders them in super HD using my custom raymarching system.

ROIL

An abstract painting generator using a very simple space filling algorithm.

Divide by Circle

My first 3D generative piece on fxhash is an experiment with subdivision, cubes and a circle. This work is rendered in real time and moves slightly while you view it.

Dithered Branches

This piece simulates a lo-fi fantasy printer from the 80s, uses that to print a generative landscape scene, then makes it beautiful by applying color. This was one of my earliest projects released on fxhash.

Auto Park

Generative aerial images of abstract parking lots.

Tree Sky

Generative tree tops scenes

Tilemoji

Tweetable abstract art using emojis. This project was released as a collection of 365 editions to celebrate the first year of fxhash.

Broken Flows

A deep dive into flow fields, paint brushes, and color palette generators.

Infrastructures

A tiny doodler that creates amazingly intricate structures.

Batafuraiko

A generative arcade game, the seed controls both graphics and sound.

Bad Shapes

A virtual art installation featuring the self titled album by Bad Shapes and generative visual effects set in a realistic 3D scene.
