Goodbye Art… hello… economics… ;(

So, over the past few days I completed my final art project. (If you want you can view it here: final.) Which means that my art class is pretty well over. Aside from a few short essays due Friday.

Which also means that over the next few days I’ll be doing nothing but… economics. Horrible.

So, perhaps I’ll be posting plenty, to distract myself from my uninteresting alternative.

PC – paint me a picture…

I can’t sleep. My mind wandered on the idea that I ought to have my computer making me art work. So, I popped out of bed and started coding. Then I stopped, and realized what an absurd endeavor I was pursuing…

It’s not really “impossible” for a computer to paint; I mean, it can use any program you can ;). It can muddle through pixel by pixel in hopes of stumbling upon something truly artistic. I’ll code it, if you watch it work. If I ask my computer to make me a tiny black and white picture – say 100 pixels square – how many images would someone have to review to find the few “artistic” images?

The answer, as you have likely already calculated:

Yeah, let me know when you’ll be finished with your critiques. And for the love of sanity, keep colors away from the machine!!!

Some artwork posted….

Well, I’m swamped. After doing dismally on my midterms, I have a ton of studying to do in preperation for finals. Classes are rough when you only have two grades.

I have posted some of my artwork, with more on the way soon. You can look at it here.

I’ve also redone my homepage, so check that out too.

I’ll try and write later. Adios.
