I‘m a webdeveloper from Dresden, Germany. My dream is to buy a pen-plotter and watch it draw all day
🆕 I'm finally diving into the world of noise. This is a grid distorted by simplex noise and fractal brownian motion.

It's fun play around with but I'm not satisfied with the results yet. I want to try domain warping next!

🆕 I have refactored my interactive playgrounds to finally use relative units.
This makes them resilient to size changes which in turn allows me to switch up the page design a bit.

I've been adding a font-selector to the wordy-playground.

I thought I'd have to scrap the idea because the outlines were drawn weird. After some research I found the magic #CSS:

paint-order: stroke fill;

It cuts my stroke-width in half but that's fine.

🌟 I might have went a little overboard with the filters. But I was trying them out in inkscape so that I can include them in my tools. SVG in general are weird but maybe I get something out of it. Also, repeating gradients are great!

🤸‍♂️ Improved performance a little bit!

For those who don't know, this is an SVG in the browser. Depending on your machine, perf will still be bad. Reduce the number of shapes to get drastically better performance.

👨‍🎨 Finally back at producing some prints!

The colors on this one are extra saturated. I'm trying a new local fineart printing shop. Lets hope the color will come through.

You can try the SVG generator as usual on my website!

⚡ Next one in the making! ⚡
I just realized that styling text can actually be more fun in #SVG than #CSS. You can just outline text in SVG!

It finally arrived as a print and I love it!

This one's just to show that all my tools are just simple shapes and no 3D. Turns out all you need is just a lot of slight changes.

The first one looks like a psycedelic blood cell. The second one makes it clearer that it's just slightly offset ellipsis.

New svg playground dropped on my website.
I like this one a lot because it's just a little variation on another playground but the results are so different. This was basically finished in an hour!

The bright colors from a nice giclée print don‘t get old quick.

Though I‘m a bit pissed about the cut. There‘s fine white line on the right edge.

All in all happy with it!

This one got a little out of hand. 🫥

Added opacity sliders for fill and stroke. It's a bit surprising to me I didn't add them to begin with. But to be honest I feel like that's the last addition.

I have 21 parameters in this playground. It's like adding more limits creativity.

These metaballs finally produce some promising results.
I'm now using colorjs (see colorjs.io) which allow me to using some of the more advanced color spaces.

Next up is a color space selector to find the right gradient. Colorjs supports like a couple of dozens. 🤤
