"Between a high solid wall and an egg that break against it, I will always be on the side of the egg. No matter how right the wall may be and how wrong the egg, I will stand with the egg''. Quote by author Haruki Murakami. For #genuary20 (Generative Typography) and #genuary21(use a new library, in this case p5.brush).

@AaronReuland this is beautiful on several levels! I love the subtle watercolor-like edge treatments. I kinda wish the font faces had a little tonal variation/noise to double down on that analog look. 🤩

Thank you! I know what you mean about the type and I did debate that quite a bit. In the end, I went with more legibility, but I still hem and haw about it. With one line commented out it would look like below. Genuary goes so fast, I'm sure I can give it a nice middle ground with more time, but I need to move on to the next prompt :spinny_cat_faster:
An more full quote, which clarifies just a tiny bit.
"Between a high solid wall and an egg that break against it, I will always be on the side of the egg. No matter how right the wall may be and how wrong the egg, I will stand with the egg. Someone else will have to decide what is right and whats wrong; perhaps time or history will decide. If there were a novelist who, for whatever reason, wrote works standing with the wall, of what value would such works be?"
