Chaos in the medium: watercolour plotting
https://amygoodchild.substack.com/embed
Over the past few weeks, I've been experimenting with painting in watercolours using my AxiDraw plotter. Watercolour is a medium I enjoy painting in (by hand) as a personal hobby, kind of separate from my public art making, so it’s been interesting to combine it with code. I’ve thought about trying this for a while but I was finally spurred on to do it after I visited Licia He’s studio in April.
This article is not intended as a tutorial, but more of a scrapbook of what I’ve been trying, the results I’ve created and the mistakes I’ve...
Meaningful Nonsense: How I generate sentences
https://amygoodchild.substack.com/embed
I’m coding a system in JavaScript that generates sentences of “meaningful nonsense”. Here are some examples.
...Coding my Handwriting
https://amygoodchild.substack.com/embed
A familiar theme for me is dismissing an idea as being too much work and then later finding myself doing it anyway. That’s what happened here.
A little while ago I created a block script in JavaScript, thinking that cursive would be too complex. But here I am, two months later, ready to talk about the cursive handwriting I’ve created. There is perhaps a lesson in that but let’s not dwell on it.
...Masterful concepts
What an amazing illustrator Whooli Chen is. Hailing currently from Taiwan, she earned a MA degree at the University of the Arts London. Her delicately sketched elements are always coloured with a subdued and calming palette.
What about her masterful compositions? This is a skill that is essential for all illustrators: from editorial process to concept.
Eskimo + heat?
A long time alumni Eskimo Design Studio have retained their original ethos—passionately dedicated to saving the world from the ugly and impractical saboteurs of interior design. Oh gotta love this quote!
They love making heat! A bit obscure? Not at all if you know they are product designers who specialize in heat systems.
Generating The Alphabet
https://amygoodchild.substack.com/embed
My current generative artwork-in-progress includes text, but I don’t want to use a font. In browser based art work, using a “web safe” font could produce inconsistent results, while including a font file would mean a large file size. Additionally, I don’t want a visual element of the project to be something I didn’t create myself.
Instead of using a font, I made my own path-based alphabet using p5.js and JavaScript.
Fonts, how do they work?I started by looking into what the various points on a font are called.
...Powagirrrls Day
International Women’s Day was created by the United Nations. Hugs and high fives mandatory today for all the women in your life.

Rocking it still today?
Designboom has been around since 1999. Birgit launched it just a year after us. It has been striving and gathering not only quality content but a large readership as well. Its appreciation keeps on growing.
Well deserved too imo.

A strange kind of physical reality
A long-form generative art project coming to fxhash in partnership with FAB DAO on 11th Jan 2024.
This series is inspired, in the abstract, by the images I visualise when reading about quantum theory. Particularly thoughts of particles spreading out as waves and then collapsing into particles again at a moment of interaction. At the quantum scale, classical ideas of space and form come apart, replaced by concepts, probability and mathematics. Yet I cannot help but imagine tiny structures. There are moments when it feels like, if I concentrated closely enough or reached out in just the right way,...

Another version of a mold for manufacturing stems is in development. Meanwhile, I am trying the process of cutting wires to pins – this will be needed once the mold is ready..
