I made interactive handwriting in javascript and p5js

Amy Goodchild @amygoodchild.bsky.social · May 7

Yeah it just made sense in terms of the way my brain wanted to layout the letters and also for each letter path to need as little data as possible

Thanks! I actually coded my handwriting completely from scratch so I have complete control over the paths in javascript (with p5js).

There are a couple of articles about it on my blog:

Generating The Alphabet — Amy Goodchild

My current generative artwork-in-progress includes text, but I don’t want to use a font. In browser based art work, using a “web safe” font could produce inconsistent results, while including a font f...

Another Meaningful Nonsense print has reached its new home!

Sam Rose @samwho.dev · May 2

The photos don’t really capture how beautiful produced this @amygoodchild.bsky.social print is.

A photograph of a print that shows a setting sun but the sun is made from words. The words are in the artist’s own handwriting, and they’re randomised so that each print is unique.

A close up of the print showing in detail the crispness of the words and the texture of the paper.

Oh yay I'm so glad you're happy with it! And thanks for sharing, it's so great to see the prints out in the wild!

Amy Goodchild @amygoodchild.bsky.social · May 1

Love to see the first wave of orders of these prints starting to arrive!

Piter Pasma @piterpasma.nl · May 1

look what just dropped in the mail!

"Empirical hybrids of non-descript dimensions" 😁

great quality, well + carefully packed with good protection, the print arrived pristine

Getting interactive with my javascript handwriting

I don’t often lean into my photography degree these days, but as soon as I got these handwriting prints, I wanted to capture some shots like this, using lighting and a shallow depth of field to add to the atmosphere of the images.

Also love the way the randomly generated title for this one references “the eclipse” - which matches the visual so well.

More text, more meaning

#generativeart #p5js #algorithmicart

Artwork coded in p5js and javascript. Contains generated sentences like "Will collaborative kaleidoscopes ever conceive of motions? What is constructive inception? A formula is a reflection of perspective." The words cascade down the page in a gradient from green, through yellow and orange to pink. The placement of the words is displaced using noise.
