Been making drawings of my generative decimated rocks on the moon in various moon locations with an attempt at a realistic moon mountainscape, earthrise, and starfield. These are just the digital files. Plotting them this weekend at 18x24" scale. Feedback and reactions welcome. plotterfiles.com/artwork/ear…

I was able to figure out good general locations on the moon for an earthrise viewing and so I put monument rocks there, calculated the view of the surrounding h

The Bantam Tools HandWriter was launched a week ago and it is a great machine. I've been getting great handwritten letters using it in my own handwriting using my own font that I made using Bantam Tools Font Maker App for iPad and Apple Pencil. I was at a non-profit fundraiser on Monday and was talking to some folks who do fundraising for their non profits and for folks who write letters as part of their job, the Bantam Tools HandWriter will let them scale up. If you writer letters as part of your work, the Bantam Tools HandWriter can help. Click on the "Request a Sample" button at handwriter.com and we'll send you a sample!

We're proud to announce the establishment of the Generative Art Foundation Creative Coding Award, made possible by a generous grant from the Generative Art Foundation (@genartfound). Over the next two years, their gift will fund scholarships to Artist Commons for artists working with technology so they can get the resources, mentorship, and community they need to develop their work further. We're deeply grateful to @jeffgdavis, @ArtOnBlockchain, and the entire team at the Generative Art Foundation for investing in this community of artists and the future of this evolving field. We're excited to, in a couple weeks, introduce the recipients of the 2026 awards 🎉
