I keep a notebook full of doodles (not my work notebook), but rarely scan them. I actually only scanned this one in because I was trying to cut it up and reassemble it in interesting ways using Processing (didn’t work very well). Hope you like it!

Squid and Rain

I’ve been fascinated with the work of Femke Hiemstra recently. I picked up a book of her work (Rock Candy) that offers insight into some of her processes. It appears that she sometimes creates finished drawings with graphite, and then scans them into Photoshop for coloring. I decided to try the technique and must say that I’m quite pleased with the results: take a look!

Doodles at Work

I sometimes (ok, frequently), doodle in my notepad while at work. Last week I finally filled a notepad and moved onto a new one, so it seemed like a perfect time to go back through my notebook and pull out the various (non-work) sketches that were scattered about it. I scanned them in, and with a little Photoshop trickery was able to piece them all together into one cohesive whole. Much of the imagery was heavily influenced by things I was reading at the time, including Al Columbia’s The Trumpets They Played!, China Mieville’s Kraken, and Jeff Vandermeer’s Finch (among others).The full thing is something like 30×18 inches, but here’s a (much) smaller copy I wanted to share:

Some New Artworks

Reading High-Fructose and China Mieville has put me in the mood to create things weird and vaguely disturbing. Here are a few.

Code Art

As regular readers will have noticed, I’m on a pretty big generative art kick at the moment. That said, I’ve been playing around in Processing using the ideas presented by Casey Reas and Marius Watz at the symposium last week, and have posted some shots to Flickr.

Here’s a little taste:
