          Scanning my early drawings and looking at them again is giving me lots of ideas for daily drawings. In today's , I'm playing with no leaving any unfilled spaces and different dilutions.

          Here's an in-progress shot.

          The rest is not posted for on my patreon and ko-fi: patreon.com/posts/152000564

          Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern looks a bit like looking down on a bouquet of flowers. Kinda.

              Thinking about small fungi, as one might find in a forest, while working on today's drawing. I liked it so much that I decided to draw this on watercolor paper as well.

                  While working on these tiles, I was also thinking of Vera Molnar, for today's drawing. I liked the result so much that I decided to try it out on watercolor paper too.

                  Here's an in-progress shot.

                  Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern has a grid of nested squares with different colors.

                    Playing with the Artemis-inspired pattern again in today's drawing. Mixing in some different colors and starting another piece on watercolor paper.

                    This one ended up looking more like little pieces of candy than like parachutes to me. A fun abstraction.

                    Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract patterns kinda looks like parachutes, but also looks like it could be pieces of candy.

                        I also made some progress on this piece inspired by Artemis II. The colors are starting to pop a little more now.

                                      This abstract piece visualizes the Aizawa attractor, a chaotic differential equation system from theoretical physics. Unlike the famous Lorenz attractor (butterfly), Aizawa generates fractal, flower-like structures under specific parameters.

                                      Technical: 80,000 time steps, 3D phase space projection, custom colormapping along trajectories. Generative Art meets Chaos Theory, no AI, just ODEs and Python.

I'm feeling very lucky to have to many inks to play with now, but the color constraints really helped me develop my voice in ink early on.

                                                    Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern is difficult to describe. Cris-crossing rows of squares with circles at the ends of them.

                                                        I'm mentoring someone who's interested in and , especially in the space of and . His biggest challenge is going beyond dabbling in private to actually following through with a project. I think this comes down to finding good tools for "quick and dirty" work, as well as finding venues or communities for sharing his output and getting feedback.

                                                        Does anyone have advice or pointers I could share with him? Boosts appreciated! :boost_requested:

The 'whale shark grey' ink has an interesting red tone to it when wet, but has a lovely rich grey tone. It plays nicely with the other two.

These images all use the same 4-color multiset rule with color cycling with period 4 on a staggered grid. The various images show different initial states. I like the way some of the substructures look like buildings.

                                                                                                  Often, the results are recognizable. The image with oddly shaped pink blobs does sorta resemble flamingos. But there are also many examples where the AI fixates on some small detail of color or texture, and becomes convinced it's seeing something totally implausible.

                                                                                                  This is relates to "adversarial examples", another great way to see this.

                                                                                                  With real images, it seems like the AI "sees" like we do. But as soon as we venture beyond its training data, the illusion is broken, and it feels a bit like a parlor trick. Clearly AI doesn't see like we do.

                                                                                                  This is a great practice for AI generally: seek out the edge cases where the model fails. This breaks the spell of "general intelligence" and gives us a clearer idea of what's actually happening inside the black box.

                                                                                                    This hides something important: these models can't see like we do. The main limitation is how they're trained. We show them millions of pictures, paired with text descriptions.

                                                                                                    The problem is, humans don't describe images literally. We might say "a picture of a dog playing frisbee" but we didn't mention the setting, the composition, or the squirrel in the background.

                                                                                                    Most of what's there visually is unsaid. The model sees those pixels, but they're just "stuff that goes along" with the text. Dogs play in parks, so the AI learns that dogs have green backgrounds.

                                                                                                    This is why it's so hard to control an image generator. It isn't intentionally placing all those objects and choosing their attributes, it's just extra fluff that seems to "go with" what you asked for.

                                                                                                      Unlike the common AI-generated images that mash together stolen artwork to make something sorta photo realistic, he's producing abstract art that's entirely novel. The general idea (inspired by innovation engines) is to generate an image from scratch, then ask a vision / language model what it sees. He generates lots of images with different descriptions, and refines those images to more closely resemble their descriptions.

                                                                                                      Not only is he making some really cool generative art, but he's learning something about what "novelty" is and how to produce it in a computer.

                                                                                                      Beyond that, though, I'm fascinated because it gives a window into the strange way computers "see" images.

It looks mossy green when wet, and dries with a copper shimmer. I thought it would be perfect for a spiral of ants. I even did one on watercolor paper. Loving this ink.
