Surrealism

In an effort to get back to why I started working in digital in the first place, I set out to do some surrealist drawings. My intention in working with a computer was to get it to do the same kind of surreal work that I did long before my return to art education.

Needless to say, I got sidetracked.

Surrealist drawings

It's almost like the opposite of programming. This work is free and mindless, whereas working with a computer is intensely cerebral and structured.

The next game of mine to be released uses the Logo style path language I blogged about before. If I applied this path behaviour as thrust on particles instead of walking a line, I might have beginnings of how to teach the computer my particular drawing language.

Bomba

I've made a mouse avoider.

Bomba

I made it immediately after Final Ninja in the heat of a small office in summer with no air con. May God have mercy on my soul.
