Scarlett's idea of Spelunky
Scarlett drew this back in September when the kids were playing a lot of Spelunky. It’s interesting to see which parts of the game imprinted on her mind.
Animals
Sometimes Scarlett asks me to draw with her. So I drew this scene:
Of course, what we “see” is dependent upon our state of mind. Having been watching lots of fairy tale cartoons, her first guess was that I’d drawn a dragon and a dinosaur. Her second guess, of course, was correct that it was a giraffe and rhino. She then added a bird and some apples for the giraffe.

My Latest Procedural Art
More math-based art, but I really like how this came out a LOT better than my experiment with Fibonacci. Check them out!

My latest Procedural Art Experiment
I think that nearly everyone who has ever learned about the Fibonacci Sequence is fascinated by how quickly it grows. I wanted to illustrate that, so I created this collage with some modifications to J im’s makeCollage.pl script. The rules were that each picture takes the place of a number on the Fibonacci Sequence and is displayed that many times. Of course, I skipped Fibonacci number 1, which is 0. No point in having a picture show up 0 times. So the first picture is shown once, as is the second. Then two times, then three, then…..
