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 👇

If you're interested, I'd recommend starting from this repository, as it's a bit more up-to-date: github.com/Lefuneste83/...

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.

🙏🏻 You’re 100% correct about the back pain, as well! 🔥😭

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Sure, if you’d like. Sorry!

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Looking forward to it! 🙏🏻

Thanks! Yes, I do. I haven’t updated my portfolio site to include these recent works, but they are available.

Sorry, had to repost because I'm an idiot.

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.

This is the third painting that I’ve done in this fashion, and each one had helped me lease how I can do things better, or adjust my approach to encourage certain types of results. If I could get my shit together (unlikely, lol) I’d create a video montage that shows the progression. 🙏🏻

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

I do a lot of pre-painting analysis and adjustment with the source SVG to figure out the optimal order to proceed. This is when I take paint transparency into consideration, etc.

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

I posted a WIP photo a moment ago which shows how I approach it. Since this is all my code I’ve written tools that generate guides on the edges, based on which layers I will be painting. I then plot those onto tape and use a ruler to mask out each layer by hand.

110

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

I use a combination of tools, but tape is my biggest friend. I like to put guidelines on the edges and then use a ruler to place the tape. It’s a bit of a process, for sure.

An in-progress photo of a painting in which yellow masking tape is being used to block out sections that will be painted. There are a variety of other tools scattered on the table around it, including scissors, a ruler, and various tubes of acrylic paint and bottles of medium.

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

That is hilariously accurate, and thankfully not my inspiration. 😅

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

I have always found his practice fascinating.

010

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

Plus, the mental process of painting is so completely distinct from that of programming that every work is a new exploration of what I can do better, from both the programming side as well figuring out ways to really elevate the medium (a thing I didn't think about a lot as a digital artist, tbh).

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.

My first plots in a while. Had a break from generative stuff and took the hands-on route instead. #penplotter #penplotterart #paragraphic

No, it just ended late enough that I left it sitting until morning. I’ve almost destroyed my 0.1mm Rotring doing the same thing you described so now they’re put under observation for long plots. 😅

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Thank you! Unfortunately I don’t really know as this plot completed at night and was left untouched until the morning. By then everything was dry. Not sure about requiring a fixative for longer-term, though. Totally new to Yupo (it was a gift) so I’ll have to look into it.

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

I usually run fine Rotrings (<= 0.2mm?) around 15 or 20 in the AxiDraw settings in Inkscape. In this case, however, the Yupo is so slick that I was able to turn the speed up to 40 and everything still worked very well.

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.

🙏🏻 I was playing with XPBD to simulate a pulled stand of beads. This simulation actually works well, but in this case I had run it with too large a time step and forces that were incorrectly set.

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

The “they” being, in this case, my wicked little neurons.

This is integration over a vector field. I've never gotten around to playing with WFC but I've always wanted to. That might be an interesting experiment.

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

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.

Thanks! Once the project progresses a bit I’ll try to put something together.

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.

Also things like using a stylus to scrape across a surface, etc.

Jeff Palmer @jeffpalmer.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Oh nice! My (limited) understanding of this new product is that it should better support complex non-pen setups, like brushes, etc. Would love to see you dig into that a bit and test out things like downward pressure management, stability with larger brushes, etc. 🙏🏻
