Morning. I just advertised for someone to adopt a Sketch plugin that I created on a whim quite a while ago, and that has become quite popular. Problem is, it relies on internal API:s and breaks now and then, and I am no longer a Sketch user. Sketch has a developer community quite different from Clojure (in a not so good way), but I still have hopes someone will care enough about this pool of users.

Got my first Pfizer, waiting in the hall. They had to keep me at the emergency spot for a while because I almost fainted...

Not a fan of needles?

borkdude10:05:29

not really 😨

pez10:05:48

Same here. I used to either faint or throw up. But for quite bad reasons I had to take a lot of shots a while and for quite good reasons I had to administer shots for my wife a while. Effective CBT. Still far from a fan, but at least not terrified any longer.

borkdude10:05:58

Yeah, I got used to them when I got allergy shots, but it's been too long

Back in the ’90s, I got into body piercings — but I also never liked needles and often passed out (or came close) whenever I got a new piercing. Even after 17 piercings, I would still react badly. And still, to this day, whenever I have to get a shot or have blood drawn, it’s a close call whether I’ll pass out or not. ’grats on your 1st shot @U04V15CAJ!

Good morning. I noticed @simongray and @ordnungswidrig talking about art some (days? weeks?) back, Bauhaus, Kandinsky and Moholy-Nagy. I may have mentioned him before, but I’d like to once again bring up the brilliant Tyler X Hobbs. You should really check out his stuff, even if it’s not directly related to the above-mentioned. https://tylerxhobbs.com/selected-works/generative-digital/1

Oh that looks very interesting!

I love it! It does kinda look like Kandinsky genart, but maybe a bit more organic. Thanks for the recommendation, Søren.

reefersleep09:05:45

He's very inspiring. I've read most of his essays, and dabbled a bit with genart based on his aesthetics and technical descriptions. Would love to do more, but there's little time.

reefersleep09:05:42

A simple thing I made

Tyler puts more effort into having details in the big, medium and small scale of each of his works than typical generative artists (that I know of)

reefersleep09:05:13

Others tend to be more purely centered on an algorithm.

reefersleep09:05:01

Also more effort in color choice. Many others just do white on black, or other monochromatic stuff

reefersleep10:05:35

My piece above is only inspired by Tyler's techniques, and obviously inspired by the monochromatic dudes

ordnungswidrig13:05:19

I'd buy that as a wallpaper design.

reefersleep14:05:23

Cool! Maybe that’s a business I should get into 😄

simongray07:05:26

Very nice, Søren. Do you use Quill for that?

reefersleep10:05:04

Yes, @simongray, and I ripped off a lot of code directly from Tyler’s essays, so it’s really easy to get started if you feel like it 🙂

reefersleep10:05:00

I’ve always thought that manual artwork - like painting and such - was just too much work, and too messy. Fast, clean iterations via keystrokes is much more my taste.

reefersleep10:05:39

@ordnungswidrig yeah, twice that I’ve seen 😄 I follow her on Instagram now, she’s very good.

reefersleep15:05:50

Stuff like Indigo Dream and Loxodography are among my faves
