Phantoms is a series of hazy memories of distant places. Some tranquil, others sinister, each scene is as much defined by what is revealed as by what remains unseen.

In this collection I aim to juxtapose hard and soft. Blocky shapes form the core of the compositions. Upon these surfaces, soft textures appear to flow and drip over the sides. Varying levels of opacity, lighting, and fog effects further soften the scenes to create an atmospheric, dream-like quality. By remaining semi-abstract, each of the color palettes are given the space to influence the mood dramatically.

Phantoms #85

At length, I summoned the courage to approach.

I was worn. Months of aimless wandering have culminated in this series; a meditation on my struggles to find a direction in my life and with my art.

At times paralyzed by too many possibilities, and at other times completely void of ideas. I was lost in the depths of my thinking, overwhelmed by indecision and doubt.

Generative works are a form of process art, yet along the way I’d forgotten to “trust the process”. It was time to cede control and let each line of code light the way.

This project paints on a 2D canvas, pixel by pixel. I used a custom projection that blends isometric and perspective techniques, to create an uncanny viewpoint between the two. Objects are randomly generated, then an algorithm applies color mixing and position displacement to each pixel as it’s rendered.

By default the canvas has 2k pixels on its longest edge. You can change this in live view by pressing any number from 1-9. For example, pressing ‘4’ would render it with 4k pixels along the longest edge. I recommend ‘4’, but this can take up to a few minutes to render.

Press ‘s’ to save the rendered image.

Algorithm, be my guide #160

This series was born from a desire to depict imagined landscapes from literal building 'blocks', and the fundamental concepts of stone, sea, and sky.

Each scene pairs a subtle nod to geological processes with the fleeting mood unveiled by weather and time of day.

Geologic #1

“Movement interrupts the stillness of night on Primordia. The land and sky meet in a silent symphony, conducted by unseen forces.”

Kinesis #1

"Remnants of long forgotten monuments rise up through the mists, whispering ancient fables."

The Rarest - rising above the Mist of Probability.
The Holiest - erected by the Light of the Algorithm itself.
The Finest - sealed into the visual realm by Code Shaman ALT+ESC and Cryptic Chronicler Baiwei.

Below is written the Grail Mantra:

“Dream It Hunt It Mint It Flex It Shill it Lose It”.

Repeat before minting generative NFTs to receive better iterations.
