genartclub.com was gone. It's back! 🎉 The domain lapsed a few months ago and took the site down with it. I bought it back yesterday and rebuilt the whole thing from the last Internet Archive capture, with the club's blessing. www.genartclub.com

I've been working on a new shader language called "easl". The goal is to bring the conveniences you'd expect from a high-level language to the GPU. It's still got some rough edges, but if you're into shaders or creative coding you should check it out! More info in the thread 👇

Finally got around to building my KLOR keyboard, and I have to say I'm really loving it so far! 🎉 #MechanicalKeyboard #DIY #keyboard

A KLOR 36 key mechanical keyboard. Black case with white and gray keycaps. It's split into two halves, and these halves are joined by a silver cable with brass plugs.

Completed this painting recently. I've transitioned to a mode of art making where I create computer algorithms that generate images, which I then paint by hand. I find mapping rigid computer-based processes to the messy real world to be extremely satisfying. #Art #Artist #Painting #AcrylicPainting

A painted wood panel with a white background. There is a green and brown geometric pattern painted in acrylic paint that resembles a technical drawing or architectural rendering.

Made some "art trading cards" for an upcoming end-of-term art club party at my local community college (where I've been taking painting classes). Looking forward to seeing what other folks bring - I'm the only person making such aggressively abstract work. 😅 #PenPlotter #CreativeCoding #Art

A bamboo desk with five small works of art on them, each 63mm x 88mm. They are in black and yellow, and the artwork is abstract line work based on a recursive algorithm that subdivides space in a regular way. The results are reminiscent of technical drawings. There are three Rotring Isograph pens on the left side of the trading cards, and two bottles of ink above them.

I spent yesterday plotting this very detailed image. Regular paper didn't hold up to the image's many overlapping strokes unless I used a ballpoint, which shed ink in a distracting way. In the end, Yupo paper provided the best result. Amazing detail/tonal gradation. 🔥 #PenPlotter #CreativeCoding

A photo of a pen plot of a physics simulation gone wrong. There are many overlapping black lines that seem to move chaotically across the page, while darker regions seem to form an abstract pattern of loops and curves.

Another PCB test, this time with the detail turned up. 🔎 I've been trying to understand what draws me to this aesthetic, and I think it's because I find there to be a certain beauty in the complexity of modern technology, especially when mixed with an organic component. #CreativeCoding #GenArtClub

A generated image of a printed circuit board, with an organic complexity unlike normal PCBs.

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

For some reason today I decided to try to replicate the aesthetic of a printed circuit board. I have some vague ideas of how I might apply this in the future, but just getting it to this point was interesting. #GenArtClub #CreativeCoding

A digitally generated image that resembles a printed circuit board, with a dark green background, lighter green traces, and yellow contact points. There are many different traces that move from one side of the image the other, in a maze-like fashion.

#Genuary26: Symmetry I think the outputs from this algorithm would make cool/interesting stained glass. #CreativeCoding #Genuary #GenArtClub

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Somewhat hilariously, my creative coding library didn't support triangles. It could draw rectangles, circles, and lines in HDR really, really fast. But not triangles. 😅 No longer! Today I read some OpenGL specs and added fast tris to the mix. 🎉 Small victories, lol. #GenArtClub #CreativeCoding

A complex set of larger triangles that are broken down into smaller triangles recursively. There are larger yellow triangles that contain many smaller light and dark gray triangles, all of which are separated by small bits of whitespace.

Plotted an output from my recent #genuary triangular subdivision algorithm. Needs some color, IMO, but has potential. 0.2mm Rotring Isograph on 9x12 Bristol #PenPlotter #CreativeCoding

A chaotic yet symmetric structure made from many triangles subdivided, forming an abstract pattern with a concentration of activity around the center.

#Genuary 12/13/14: A line-based triangle subdivision algorithm Three prompts in one project/day is some kind of record for me, but these all fit together so nicely I couldn't resist. I want to go back and color the tris, though. Soon. #CreativeCoding #genuary12 #genuary13 #genuary14 #GenArtClub

A triangular shape that is broken into smaller triangular shapes in a curving recursive fashion.

A square image that is broken into small triangles, forming an abstract shape with long slender triangles over many, many smaller triangles.

I received this lovely linoleum print based on a generative piece by @jeffpalmer.bsky.social for #ptpx 2024. I haven't done a linoleum block print in a long time but I know how much effort goes into that negative space! Well done!

While I'm a fan of the messy lines that Bic ballpoints create, every so often I like to pull out my 0.2mm Rotring Isographs. Their immaculate ink flow and line consistency is incredible, and they excel at geometric abstractions like these. 9"x12" Bristol #CreativeCoding #GenArtClub #PenPlotter

An image comprised of two lines that fold back on themselves to fill space in rectangular blocks, with one line in a shade of blue-green, and the other in a shade of dark magenta. Where the line regions overlap, a purple-ish color is formed.

A single line in a blue-green color that folds on itself to form rectangular regions, which themselves aggregate to form an abstract shape that spreads down from the top of the page to the bottom.

My experiments with unpredictable mediums continue. This image is a single line drawn with a Bic Cristal ballpoint. I greatly prefer the artifacts caused by this type of pen when creating these works. The less reliable, the better! #Art #PenPlotter #GenArtClub

An abstract geometric pattern comprised of a single line that traces numerous rectangles in green ink.

Another experiment with oil-based ballpoint pens. Here I used a very small increment for each line, resulting in very slow progress and some interesting gradients as the ink accumulated in certain sections of the image. Plot time: ~30 hrs over 4 sessions #PenPlotter #CreativeCoding #GenArtClub

Blue ballpoint pen lines drawn very close to each other, creating the impression of dark and light gradients in a swirling, looping abstract composition.

A recent abstract geometric oil painting. In this case, I programmed a recursive algorithm to generate the overall structure, and then painted the result on 18"x24" ABS. The transformation from digital to physical via my own hands was deeply rewarding. #Art #Artist #OilPainting #GenArtClub

An abstract geometric oil painting that contains gray, light blue, and lime green rectangles against a dark blue background. The rectangles are filled in and form a repeating pattern with more rectangles the farther down the painting they move. On the right side is a series of small gray rectangles that are filled, with a series of black rectangular outlines that look like they have yet to be painted.

It's probably time for me to move my newsletter (which isn't even very active, tbh) off of Substack, as it seems pretty fundamentally at odds with my values. Anyone using beehiiv care to comment on their experience? I'm also interested in any other platform recommendations, if you have any. 🙏

So begins the quinquennial (lol) process of building a new keyboard. 🤞that this one will be 'the one.' I thought I had an endgame keyboard last build, but I stupidly didn't use hotswap sockets for my switches, which are now failing. Building a KLOR this time, which seems perfect for me. #keyboard

What all of my time with my X-ACTO knife yesterday got me. 🎉 Recently I've been creating new algorithmic artworks with the goal of using the patterns as a basis for my oil paintings and learning a lot. I have so many ideas now, but I have to get this final project done first. 😅 More to come!
