Which version of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein should I read? The original 1818 edition where Frankenstein fires first, or the 1831 special edition?

Disney+ lost about 1.7 million subscribers. If they want them back, they’re going to have to do something big. I’m, of course, talking about Donald in Mathmagic Land.

I often release a stress test while experimenting with a new function or algorithm. These milestones, though frequently too complex or too simple, help me track progress and serve as a reminder of what I was thinking at that particular moment.

A black and white spiral made of thick alternating bands twists inward toward a central dot, with occasional glitches disrupting the flow. Inspired by Duchamp’s Anemic Cinema.

Ink on Dura-Lar
#p5.js and #NextDraw

Generative circles with arcs are plotted onto translucent Dura-Lar and cut into squares, inviting recomposition. When layered, the material’s soft translucency produces a natural attenuation, allowing depth and shadow.

Recent adventures in material experimentation has landed me in the world of traditional animation techniques. I'm plotting a generative design on one side of a cel, and then painting the other side with acrylic paint. The white you see here is a piece paper placed behind the cel. #p5 #nextdraw

"Messy Prototype"

So... Vellum paper is brand new to me. I took a small detour to test ink, vellum, acrylic paint, Mod Podge, and adhesive spray. This is a collage of clashing elements, but will act as a roadmap moving forward. #p5 #nextdraw #human

And as it's on vellum, it's two-sided. Which excites me as this opens up avenues of new possibilities.
