some doodlebots

trying out (tho ultimately rejecting) an idea for writtenimages

 

i initially thought that one of the incarnations of 'doodlebot' would be a natural for this application, as it's accustomed to generating tons and tons and tons of images in 'batch' mode, like an obsessive moleskiner.

 

(a typical 'performance' of doodlebot goes like this: at a coffee shop, with laptop, laser printer, ream of cheapest paper i can find, print to pdf and dump out of printer in constant succession, for the duration of one large latte, or until i get bored, whichever comes first. other patrons are welcomed to take their favorites home and use as kindling in their fireplaces so that i don't have to recycle them)

 

..but, a couple problems.. one, it can take a long time to render and save as hi-rez raster; two, without human 'patrons' to 'curate' its output, the results are largely unpredictable, some of which i wouldn't approve of appearing in print. (and three, i'm not sure how wide an audience obsessive doodling has in the first place! :D)

 

..still, always fun revisiting this sketch, as every time i do i can't help teaching it some new tricks for its arsenal of doodle-mania. :)
