When I started on #Mastodon I just posted some sentences about what I had in mind. Then I learned about #Genuary at the beginning of 2023 in this community and joined it, posted the results and interacted a lot with others, with you.

Now, three years later, I shared my progress in #Sculpting with #Blender, the #Inktober drawings and the Genuary 2026.

And now for the first time I share my creations regulary since February instead of collecting the on my drive and showing them only my family and friends.

It's amazing. Kind and often very detailed feedback, questions and thoughts.

And now 150 of you genious minds and friendly companions are following my art!

It wasn't my goal to gain followers at any time but it is always nice to see that I'm going a path that I love and you, too.

So: THANK YOU!

The last post is the minimalistic creation of the same code of this one.

Here I overstretched every variable but for me it is special because it shows the similarity of circle and star and waves.

What do you see? Star, circle or space?

Now the music is in its flow, so I have time to come back to drawing and generative arts.

Today, I picked sine and cosine and combined them with some alpha values. I have many results and I will post some others of this session, too.

But here's a circle with a sine wave as the radius and this looped while changing radius and phase.

It's all coded by myself. I used mathematical functions to create this piece of art. And no AI.

2026 Genuary Wrap

This was my first time participating in Genuary. Here are some reflections about the experience.

Scheduled Work Means Work Gets Done

My long-standing journal practice has taught me about the out-sized power of small, incremental work completed on a schedule. And the Genuary work provided similar benefits. The main benefit, of course, is simply finishing thi

Finally, here's my largest compilation of code generated art that I made for #genuary.

(Context: https://genuary.art/ is an idea each day in January for making art using code).

I've made each of these with the #Hydra video synth software, to improve my knowledge of it so that I can do more livecoding performances this year.

Iteration on genuray 23: Transparency

made with #p5js

When watching comics I was always faszinated of the dithering.

Here I coded a dithering selection depending on a noise pattern but open for using with every other pattern.

Now I think about improving it and using it for the shading of 3D models. That could look interesting and be combined with toon shaders.

After some storm, rain and a running nose I am back with some pieces of art I made since #Genuary. Thank you for the likes, re-toots and the new follower while I was away.

Here's an experimental creation of a three dimensional model transformed into pixel art and turned into a black and white color range. Still working on sharper edges but I think it's already time to show you.

Do you like pixel art?
