code art prints

These are single large format prints, all drawn by custom PostScript code I wrote. Acrobat Distiller converted the randomly-generated art to PDF files for printing.

THE THEORY OF RAN DUM MUTATION, 2003

The print has many cartoon characters in rows, fading into the distance. Each character mutates from the previous one.

 

SELF PORTRAIT, 2003
black and white laser print, 51x88 inches wall installation, on 6 sheets by 8 sheets of paper

The large face is a non-random drawing I converted to pixels in Photoshop. My program used each pixel's gray value to make a smaller random face -- there are 3888 faces. Some are better likenesses than others. I haven't found any that are alike yet.

 

THE DAILY GRUNT, 2003

RAN DUM COMICS, 2002
digital color print, 22x33 inches
A newspaper color "Sunday Comics" page layout. The balloon text, artwork, and colors were all chosen randomly. A few of the titles were random. I chose the page's title and programmed this specific page layout. The idea of doing a random "Sunday Comics" page goes back to my earliest vision of random comics.
