An experiment in exploring lines and colors. This one is special in that I wanted to play with the different ways how an artwork could manifest in its various forms. From Python code in drawbot. To rendering into bitmap and vector. To animation in After Effects. To 3D spatial structural form in Cinema4D. Each has its own interpretation and emotions to them.
Until next time!

The above follow some of my computational art style. I wanted to visualize the spirals emitting light in space, creating various lines and spacial depth.
Both rendered in Cinema4D in 4K resolution.
Below are a collection of my recent artworks in the past few months. Playing with a few new techniques in motion and drawing lines in various colors and forms. Let me know which ones are your favorites in the comments! Thanks for checking them out.

Inspired by the amazing flowers and foliage in the spring, I’ve made some 3D art. I really wanted to experiment with how 3D and computational art can mix and match.
I also am inspired by how nature created many of the mathematical patterns we see. The repeating patterns and loops that I make are many times borrowed from them. So it’s only fitting that I make a work that honored plants as a subject matter.
Below are some real life inspiration:
Experiments in repeating squares in various rotation. Made with Python in drawbot. These viewports are only showing a portion of the whole artwork. I will look into showcasing the whole repeating patterns in some shape or form.
In this hectic world, it’s sometimes tough to remember to breathe. This is my reminder.
I wanted to make something time-based to convey everybody is in a rush, going at various rates in motion.
Breathe, friends. Namaste. 🙏
As a further exploration of the tunnel piece, I wanted to explore how it could translate in the 3 dimensional space. Thought this iteration in Cinema 4D is a nice translation of the original.
Animated piece:
In honor of the Lunar New Years, Happy year of the rat!
As always, let me know which ones you love the most! Shirts are available to purchase on Amazon.
For the past year or so, I’ve been learning and playing with computational art in my free time. Learning Python has been a journey and I’m just in the beginning. Along the way, I’ve made some interesting things as documented on this blog. I’ve handpicked five of my favorites and made them into real shirts! It’s one thing to see the art pieces on a digital screen, it’s another thing to see them printed in digital form — and wear them.
If you like them, please get one! Please tell your friends! I own a few and I think they look great (perhaps biased) and feel really nice (not biased). They’re available in women’s, men’s, and kids’ sizes for the whole family. 🙂 I’m selling them on Amazon for now, and Prime members can get them shipped for free.
