Coffee & Tears

Animal Spirits

With new depth sensing technology on mobile phones comes new things to play with. I was able to extract the depth data (black and white matte) from my iPhone X, which I believe in the next iOS update has significant improvement. I then wrote a function in processing to do a basic conversion to a normal map. After that is the original pic of me looking all broody and cold with red cheeks. Followed by some experiments utilizing both maps to do different stuff. Very exciting. Look out for more coming. The depth-to-normal code took me a while to figure out. It’s not ideal but if you’d like me to share it I’m happy to if people are interested.

As always it’s so exciting to see my work printed. It makes even me appreciate the detail that a billion particles make.

Elephant Man

Only just realized I accidentally posted these a month ago to my geeky Pokémon blog instead of my art blog! 😂 Sorry. Here you go. Here’s what you missed!

Me standing next to a commissioned print I made! The 170cm tall canvas print based on the Vinegar Skipping Girl came out looking amazing, I’m really happy with it. Can’t wait to see it go to its new home.

Abstract landscapes - made with Processing

Process vid of my latest experiments. Dots and averages.

Made entirely using circles and average colour functions. Didn’t expect the Voronoi style pattern but it’s very cool.
