To generate random irregular geometry like in these images (for brainstorming art), 1) install Processing http://processing.org/download and 2) download this script I wrote for it https://github.com/earthbound19/_ebDev/blob/master/processing/by_me/rnd_irregular_geometry_gen/rnd_irregular_geometry_gen.pde, then 3) press the "play" (triangle/run) button. It generates and saves pngs and svgs as fast as it can make them. Press the square (stop) button to stop the madness. I dedicate this Processing script and all the images I host generated by it to the Public Domain. The first two images here (you may only see one image if you read a syndication of this post) are tear or contact (many images) sheets from v1.9.16 of the script. Search URL to bring up galleries of output from this script: http://earthbound.io/q/search.php?search=1&query=rnd_irregular_geometry_gen
