I've been thinking about moving away from Jekyll for a while now. Don't get me wrong, I love the static site generator, I really do, it's served me well for over two years, but certain aspects of my workflow have become very clunky, and overall I haven't been able to be as efficient...

A big recap of Genuary 2023, all the sketches that I've made for the daily prompts as well as my personal favorites from other artists. This article contains a lot of twitter embeds, which might take a couple of seconds to load. Thank you for your patience!

Another year, another recap! Many a sketch, and many an article, 2022 has been creative code galore from start to finish! Let's have a look at the most memorable Gorilla events that happened in 2022.

This is the first in a series of blog posts on Delaunay triangulation. This first part explains the task at hand and possible strategies to create a Delaunay Triangulation.

2021 has been an incredibly exciting year for the Gorilla Sun Blog! Here's a recap of this surreal journey and a summary of all the art that I've made throughout!

Another month has passed, however a lot has changed in the Tezos NFT world. Recent developments.

Generators are a versatile feature of ES6 and allow for interesting programming strategies, that otherwise wouldn't be possible. In this post we'll go over the basics and some use cases of JS generators.

In this post we'll have a look at the P5JS graphics buffer and how to effectively use it in your P5 sketching practice. We'll also create a variation of the 10 PRINT pattern that repeats seamlessly.

In this post we'll work our way towards an algorithm that can compute convex polygon intersections. We'll also a method for intersections between axis-aligned rectangles, a function that can determine the intersection of two line segments, as well as a point in polygon test.

Shape packing is a popular type of sketch in gen-art, but is often trickier than it might seem when you try to pack anything more complicated than a simple circle. In this post we'll have a look what goes into collision detection as well as a strategy to pack any arbitrary shape in 2D.

The Bowyer-Watson algorithm for Delaunay triangulation is maybe one of the easier methods to implement and understand for obtaining a Delaunay Triangulation.

P5JS doesn't offer native SVG support, there is however a way to run P5 in an 'SVG' mode using zenozeng's SVG runtime. Running P5 in this SVG mode also requires a lot of interaction with the DOM, which we'll discuss in this post.

Tsubuyaki processing has become a popular and fun little challenge on Twitter. In this post I'll be going over some character saving tricks that can come in clutch when you're out of ideas for reducing the size of your code!

A step by step tutorial to constructing a variety of irregular grids

A tutorial on multiple ways to create a hexagonal grid in p5js

An approach for creating all sorts of different smooth shapes in p5, using the canvas rendering context.

A closer look at random walkers, and how to make them explore and traverse an underlying grid, in p5js.

Sliders are a wonderful tool to add some interactivity to your sketches. Here's everything you need to know.

This is one of my favorite tricks. Albeit being very simple, visually it looks very impressive.

Part 2 of creating perlin noise flow fields in Processing.

This blog post will explain how to code up a Flow Field in Processing.

This is one of my favorite things I've made with perlin noise so far, generative tree rings.

In this part of the perlin noise tutorial series we will have a look at creating smooth curves with Perlin Noise in P5js and processing.

The Perlin noise generator in p5js is a fantastic feature that allows us to code up a plethora of fantastic sketches, here's a rundown of how it works as well as some examples.

In this part of the perlin noise tutorial series we will have a look at creative applications of Perlin Noise and using it to texture.

Mastodon is where all the cool kids are right now. If you've been meaning to join the Twitter alternative and don't know where to start, then this post got you covered. We'll go over how to sign up to Mastodon and how everything on the platform works.

Github Pages and Netlify are bost fantastic solutions for hosting your first website. Switching from one to the other when you've already established your website on one of them might be a bit tricky however. But here's how you can do it!

In this tutorial I will guide you through setting up a Breadfond on the Tezos blockchain using the TEIA and/or Versum smart contracts.

FFmpeg is an essential tool for creative coders. Here's a primer on using FFmpeg, and showcase of some of it's capabilities.

This article is a run down of all the possible ways you can turn your sketch into a GIF.

A write-up of my fxhash project 'Neo Supremus', a generative ode to Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist compositions. In this article, we'll have a look at some of Malevich's Suprematist compositions as well as some of the techniques that I used to recreate these compositions in a generative manner.

A detailed write-up about my most recent fxhash piece 'Exotic Quarpets' from initial inspiration, to specific implementation details all the way to last minute wrestling with a browser compatibility bug.

An in depth look into the inner workings of my crayon codes sketch Behind the Canvas

Notes and thoughts on my generative fxhash token 'Vestige'

An aesthetically minimalistic sketch that is based on a boolean grid and Perlin noise.

A step-by-step tutorial to recreating my parasite sketch, which involves coding all kinds of squiggly movement!

An in depth tutorial on recreating a beesandbombs' sketch! We'll have a closer look at seamlessly looping points and creating infinitely expanding patterns!

Step-by-step guide to coding up a sketch that I submitted for processing's 20-th anniversary fundraiser
