Heading home to Massachusetts after a whirlwind end to vacation in San Fransisco. Hit Japanese tea garden, conservatory of flowers, China Town, City Lights books, up and down the Embarcadero and finally made my pilgrimage to the Exploratorium.

Today I added Adelson's Snake Illusion to my collection. I used quadratic vertices for the wavy shape on an image buffer. Also, thanks to a request from @AaronReuland, I added an information button to toggle a display of the key details about each illusion. I restructured the code to contain all of the information and properties in the main illusion array by setting up an object for each illusion.

Nice!

Been working on this for a week or so. ‘Ghost pipe’ (aka Ghost plant or Indian Pipe) is a parasitic, Chlorophyll-less plant that pops up after wet weather often in deep shade. It’s translucent and always fun to find on a forest hike.

Had a spectacularly New England day with my oldest friend, both of transplants from the midwest. We went kayaking and eating oodles and oodles of wild blueberries. Just reaching up from our kayaks and picking handfuls of delicious blueberries. We paddled around comparing the flavor of different bushes for like 3 hours until I think I got a sunburn and we had go.

I only added one more to the collection this week, because I spent a good while refactoring code and debugging. @davepagurek set @AaronReuland and me straight on the proper use of image buffers to avoid crashes. Create once, then resize and clear as necessary, rather than creating anew each time. A few of the illusions can now run at the full framerate with no issues. Smooth. That will definitely help with other projects.

This is such a cool collection of optical illusions! Well done!

@Metamere thanks! I think I’m going sit down and write the whole thing into a tidy function later. Then maybe apply it some generatively drawn art with different color palettes.

Very interesting play with perceived depth. Like it very much!

"Branch Triptych".
A nice peaceful weekend exploration of a space colonization algorithm.

Run it yourself/see code at OpenProcessing: https://openprocessing.org/sketch/1973099

The is coming along. I’m pretty fond of this mushroom. Also did a shorescape from a recent trip up the Maine coast.

Still see too many flaws, but definitely improving.

We've got a tutorial up now with an intro to some of the things you can do with p5's new framebuffer support! https://p5js.org/learn/getting-started-in-webgl-framebuffers.html

@davepagurek Fantastic tutorial! I'm going definitely going to play around with this soon.

The for the week is 'remix', so I got to messing with and a sketch by the illustrious @davepagurek.

Maybe not the most flattering self-portrait...

I’ve been trying to teach myself to make linocut prints. Brand new at it. Feels good to work with my hands. It’s sometime hard to learn a new medium but I’m trying be proud of small progresses and not focus on the flaws too much. Trying botanicals to start- but maybe abstractions might be fun.

Home from the trip, so I did some I wanted to generate a background sort of like the ones they used to use in portrait studios with muted cloudy colors blending together, and I think I succeeded,

Struggled with the masks, but appreciate the help from @villares in helping me cut through the complexity I made

@TomLarrow I work in p5js, not py5, but unless I'm missing something (I definitely could be) to create the mask in p5js I would create a buffer (createGraphics()), draw the circle, use the methods erase() & noErase() with the stripes between (for loop of rects) and draw the image from the buffer (image() method in p5js). Might just be something easier to do in js.

Next in my ongoing series of pen plottable sketches based on songs that helped me through the pandemic.
This one inspired by "embroidering machine" by Milo (who now goes by R.A.P. Ferreira).

Facebook is claiming our video show and tell where people share art, electronics, modified wheelchairs, and other projects, is hate speech now. There was no option to have it reviewed only to "agree" so no one sees it.

@adafruit
I once had a post removed (on Twitter). It was coded digital art of a flock of birds flying over an abstracted landscape. The only possible reason it could have been flagged is the title, which was 'migration'.
Probably something in the video is on list of flagged words.
It took months to get my post put back up, best of luck.
