Just finished up The Body Scout by @thelincoln.bsky.social and while it was a great read, it felt disturbingly like historical fiction written 150 from now that was transported back in time somehow...

Lots of overlapping light strokes lol. Each circle is drawn by generating (1000000/number of circles in the image) random points on its circumference which are used as subsequent curve vertex points. You can check the code here openprocessing.org/sketch/25037...
