Help needed, please. I've just updated @processing.org and now sketches won't run when launched from Sublime. I'm on a M1 Mac and I've run 'Install processing-java'. I tried googling an answer but Sublime error messages are always cryptic. Everything worked until I updated Processing.

Studio sketch. Triggered by the music I was listening to on the way to the studio this morning.

Glitched Flower.
Most of my Processing stuff uses vectors so I can output for print, but tonight's experiment is messing with pixels. I thought I'd try and code an animating glitch effect. Happy with the first effort. Hopefully, I can refine it for a project I want to use it on.

Not even half way through but this is the best book recommendation I've had this year.

Abstracted peonies.
I really should learn to do more advanced stuff in Processing but sometimes the simple stuff is just as satisfying.

In a bit of a creative slump* at the moment but managed a few hours in the studio, today. Playing about with more analog colour seps and enjoying their unpredictability.
*It's more complicated than that but I won't bore you with the details. 😂

I recently finished reading Riddley Walker. It's great but hard going, so it seems apt that it was a tricky day in the studio designing a cover for it.
I used Tipp-Ex tape with a stencil but it didn't work. I'm not sure if the result is better or worse than I was expecting.

The result of today’s studio session. I’m thinking about putting together a zine of completely analog work.

Cutting out and hand setting small type from a photocopied type specimen book. Completely normal behaviour for a Saturday morning.

Some more playing about in the studio. I had an idea for this cover after reading the book, last year. The result is way off the original idea but I'm pretty happy with the result. Lots of grainy analog detail which, unfortunately, gets lost on small social media images.

A fun day in the studio. January is always a preparation month but now that February has arrived it means getting in the studio on a regular basis and making stuff.

Not a great first day in the studio. All I could manage was some stencilled text. At least it’s a start but I need to do better.

The second thing that went well was my reading. In 2023 I set the goal of reading 30 books and only managed 21. I set the same goal this year and managed 50. I could have done more if certain books didn't make me sleepy when I read them. 2024 is the first year where I read every single day.

Lots of room for improvement but not a bad start. Exercise was one of the two things that went well this year.

Still a few small bits to sort out but the new studio is almost ready to go. I'm looking forward to 2025 and using the space to create a brand new body of work.

One of my goals for next year is to setup and run some workshops introducing Creative Coding to designers who have never tried it.
I only dabble myself but it’s loads of fun and a really useful skill to have.
