These are some old prints that I made for an exhibition called Ishihara, back in 2008. They’re created using a tool I built called Rotator, which degrades vector drawings as they are printed to a bitmap, whilst following the path of a random wander. I found them on an old hard drive and thought I’d share. Read : Generative Prints for Ishihara »

I’ve been revisiting one of my favourite topics lately – recursion – and have been getting together a bunch of sketches for a big personal project I’m working on (more on that another time).

We’ve all been there. You’re building an image gallery and you need to create consistently sized thumbnails from a set of images, of various sizes and orientations and with differing aspect ratios – or you need a fullscreen background which always fills the stage, regardless of a user’s screen resolution and browser window size – or maybe you just need to fit a DisplayObject into a rectangular area whilst maintaining the correct proportions of the original image.
