this sketch creates an animated blob by drawing 10 bouncing ellipses with random sizes two times at slightly different sizes to create an effect that looks similar to metaballs or lava-lamps, but can be computed very fast and easy.

For this animation I used the bTrace-addon to create a curve from a set of particles. Then I wrote a small python script that copies the current state of the curve every 5 frames. I animated the visibility of the copies to make them appear only if the original curve has passed this position to create a 3D onion skinning like effect.

This is a scan from my sketchbook. It started as a rough sketch I did on the bus, showing a kid texting on the bus. I later refined the sketch and colored it using copic markers

I have written a small processing pomodoro timer. I used it to run on my Desktop but it should work in android- or javascript-mode too. you can download the pde file here if you want to use it too, to start a time slot just click on the sketch window.

I rewired all the stuff thats currently on my desk to separate the usb and midi cables form the audio cables because there was a hissing sound that annoyed me for about a year. To test if my wacom tablet still works I made this sketch of a comic bird in mypaint

For this animation I played with the new wireframe node in cycles. I used the wireframe factor to blend between a transparent and a diffuse shader.

I´ve been drawing again yesterday. The image started as a quick pencil doodle and evolved more and more into this bot. I colored the bot using copic markers. For the background I used watercolors
