since helloween is comming nearer I made a processing sketch that generates a 3D pumpkin using the toxiclibs mesh builder. Generating a pumpkin-shape isn't very hard to do when using polar coordinates.

I use a sin of the phi angle to make the shape a litte bit more flat on top and bottom

and than i subtract the absolute of a sin of the tetha angle to generate the segments.

I visited a small "creativity-fair" in Vienna last weekend, and got a bunch of new copic marker. This is what I used them for so far - more to come :-)

I made a processing sketch that implements a cellular automaton similar to conway's game of life engines. The rules I use are not discret but use float numbers similar to a blur filter

I drew some floating boxes using a fineliner

I just finished knitting a hat. This is the first knitting job where I didn't follow a pattern but made it completely on the fly.

I made another short "done in 10 minutes" processing sketch - this time featuring random lineart inspired by computergames from the 80s and 90s. I'm not sure which game used this effect first but, I played countless games who did use it

As a kid I've always been fascinated by static noise from a tv. I liked the hypnotic flickering and always tried to find pattern in the noise. I haven't seen any noise on a tv-screen for a while (are they even capable of displaying noise?) so I wrote a simulator for static noise in processing.

click on the sketch and move the mouse around. The x-axis controlls the contrast the y-axis controlls the blur effekt.

I made some cardboard figures using my markers and pastel-chalk. I cut out pieces of a cardboad-box and painted them white. Then I made some sheep and a dragon using and cut them out. Then I printed out some small feet on my 3D-printer (openscad source here)

I wrote a litte sketch to generate some bright colored random flowers

I made a simple black and white hypnosis spiral in processing
