rnd_irregular_goemetry_gen.pde (Processing)
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
You probably can't reasonably copyright immediate output from this script, as anyone else can generate the same thing via the same script if they use the same random seed. But you can copyright modifications you make to the output.

Last night I threw wonky parameters at version 1.6.1 of this work:

–which at this writing is in a museum, and which I have updated since to include shapes other than circles).
These images and a pending video result.
Work 00090 line art black and white, narmth color scheme, and animated variants
"Narmth" is an invented adjective. The hex color scheme used for the color variants here is at: https://github.com/earthbound19/_ebdev/blob/master/scripts/imgAndVideo/palettes/recreated_palette_00001_narmth.hexplt
This first is vector art (an svg), which you may save and reuse. You may reuse these works freely under Creative Commons Attribution 4. I'd appreciate credit in reuse.
The animated variant is concieved as unobtrusive decorative video art. Or maybe it would be distracting. I don't know, because I don't know who displays art as such. Do you?

By yours truly.
See http://s.earthbound.io/3y for archive, print and use options.
Pencil decorative lines doodled and scanned, then fixed up.
This animated sequence of variants was accomplished by random selection of colors and fill from the list tigerDogRabbit_HexColors.txt at: http://s.earthbound.io/ColorSchemesHex and these scripts (also from _devtools): potraceAllBMPs.sh, BWsvgRandomColorFill.sh, renumberFiles.sh [svg], allSVG2img.sh, ffmpegAnim.sh.
Tools used: A flatbed scanner, Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator (for svg node reduction while preserving virtually identical appearance), Inkscape, LibreOffice draw, k-meleon (for quick svg previews), cygwin (to enable all of the listed .sh scripts), ffmpeg (to create the video via ffmpegAnim.sh) and svgo_optimize.sh (which has a nodejs and svgo module dependency; you can also just use the SVGOMG web service (do a web search–you can use it to optimize an svg and prepare it for use by BWsvgRandomColorFill.sh).

What do you see in the base variant? What I see in the following three variants? Something else?
Next post: a color-animated variant.

Here's a presentation of choice output from the batch in the previous post. Here also is a link to the vector sources, which I release into the Public Domain.
2017-01-13 Abstact Line Art RND Color Fills
I made black and white vector art of a doodle and did random color fills of the blank areas from a palette. I automated this with bash scripts and CLI utilities on Windows+MSYS2.
I also strung many of these images together in an animation mostly sorted by next most similar image (also with scripts).

What does this make you think of / feel / postmodern / angst / ruminate / ritualize? If you do not know, the COMPUTER-GENERATED POSTMODERN "ARTIST STATEMENT" DRAWING HAT can tell you!
I think it's a happy coincidence that my first run of the random color fill script produced grass-like color below and sky-like color above.
I've changed the name of this since after I gave up numbering works (cataloguing them is a technical feat that got away from me), and starting naming some works that I have no better name for by date. This was originally named and titled Work 00091 [+some description about abstract line art with random color fills]. Later, in syndicated media posts I renamed it 2016-11-24, which date is an error. My files named by date for this are 2017-01-13 (with redevelopment later in 2021). Blahuarg.
