Eclipse – How to simulate nature with code
In my last post, I shared how something as simple as a crack in a sidewalk can be the inspiration for a variety of artistic interpretations. One of those was using code to generate cracks and then having that evolve into what began to look like an eclipse. That idea continued to evolve to the point that it is now
“Fractured” – nature inspired art 3 different ways
The Image as Inspiration As mentioned in my last blog post, I’d bring you along in my visual arts journey to share and inspire. This project started as a short walk through the neighborhood. I always see a number of cracked surfaces along the way and this time decided to snap a quick image of a fractured sidewalk. This became

After decades of problem-solving and creativity in the IT world, I’m shifting my focus to something more personal: fostering creativity—not just within myself but in others too. This blog is my invitation to you to join
Strands
With “Strands”, I wanted to initially simulate another type of doodle where I just draw random overlapping strands with black ink. While the output looks somewhat simple, I took an interesting approach. Each “strand” is created by drawing one “slice” of that strand at a time at a given point on the screen represented by a vector. I then change
