In the depths of the crypto bear market over the last two years, I rediscovered my passion for creating art using code as a medium.

My first exposure to generative art was in 2021 during the art blocks craze on ethereum.

I saw things like Fidenzas and Ringers and thought they were beautiful, but the skill involved meant I would never be able to create something similar.

I collected a lot of art that year and I look back at that time fondly.

Eventually, during the bear market, around August of 2022, I began exploring my potential for participating in generative art.

I set up a p5.js sketch on my desktop, started going through the documentation, and began eating glass so to speak.

I spent a few nights setting up a workflow and began devouring open source algorithms from artists who were doing what I wanted to be to learn as much as I could about how they do what they do.

I studied work from pioneers in the genre (dont want to name names rn, sorry) to analyze their techniques and adopt what I could, how I could to get the aesthetic results I wanted.

I still consider myself to be early stage in my gen art endeavors, but I am working towards refining my technique so that I can produce art that brings people happiness and makes them wonder about the mechanics of the systems that govern the pieces.

This page is some of the stuff I’ve produced over the last year and a half to two years in p5.js.
