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.

Juno + Ballio

Saturday afternoon daughter-father @drawbotapp coding time! This time, inspired by Josef Albers's "Interaction of Color" https://t.co/YkGEkIJgYF pic.twitter.com/sHUP7ApPgT

This time, I was inspired by Josef Albers’s “Interaction of Color”

For this exercise, I was experimenting with using random()for various fills and the type. I was also trying to see how animation, timing, and frame rate works in drawbot. Lots to explore and play with.

This reminds me of one of my favorite books we read to our children, Albers’s Squares and Other Shapes, before working on this design with Juno. Highly recommended.

Here’s the code if you all want to play with it:

NFRAMES = 50

for frame in range(NFRAMES):
    newPage(1000,1000)
    frameDuration(1/7)
    
    
# set a blend mode
    blendMode("hardLight")

# draw a rectangle

    fill(random(), random(), random(), 1)

#    x    y    w    h
    rect(100, 100, 400, 400)


    fill(random(), random(), random(), 1)
    rect(500, 100, 400, 400)

    fill(random(), random(), random(), 1)
    rect(500, 500, 400, 400)

    fill(random(), random(), random(), 1)
    rect(100, 500, 400, 400)

    fill(random(), random(), random(), 1)
    rect(300, 300, 400, 400)

    # set a font and font size
    font("Futura", 200)

    # set a blend mode
    blendMode("overlay")

    # draw text
    fill(random(), random(), random(), 1)
    text("Juno", (140, 630))
    fill(random(), random(), random(), 1)
    text("Ballio", (130, 230))
