Metal logo algorithm Draw a symmetrically-mirrored version of word Try to average letter morphology such that there is approximate bilateral symmetry while still creating recognizable letters Now that the rough shape is in order, work on the line quality of each letter Create “hairs” that roughly follow the same orientation (imagine a vector field) Result: drew this for @anarchogoth to put in her store, incorporating her request for brand “A” elements ...

Again doing a more playful style for a daytime outdoor event for the Quadra speaker inaugural live test (shown both behind each DJ name and as a ref on Lola Bunny’s jersey). Watched Space Jam in preparation for this and got a ton of feedback about shorts bulge and basketball ear direction from relevant nerds. Also probaly the first time I did a Procreate -> Photoshop layer export for finer control of each layer’s color for the final (which also made it easier to solicit votes about what color combo to use in the final). ...

took a few hours and made this on a whim for an oomf to cheer her up generative process: make symmetrical ish text of your word of interest (using mirrored symmetry helps here) enlarge/widen text into stylized type (spiky) iteratively expand dendritic structure

ghosting and soren solkaer and leyden jar discharge on film and ornate chrysalis into an eye-of-sauron axial fmri collage

Leyden jar teaser The image is taken from a silver print of a Leyden jar discharge by Kuele. I really enjoyed ghosting the text in this teaser and didn’t quite get the effect I wanted in the final flyer: This was another one where I felt like I didn’t really have enough to work with conceptually, but the image in the center is constructed of a murmuration, the mirrored leyden jar discharge, and mirrored moth chrysalises. ...

really struggled with this one. we were all feeling like it was hard to do anything celebratory during the genocide. i presented a few options that were rejected due to their perceived morbidity since that sort of imagery was hard to look at by members of the collective. i wasn’t really happy with this sketch nor did i feel like it really captured the event, but threw it together last minute (decay/growth on the bunnygirl). ...

just a sketch i did on my lunch break that people seem to like a lot . _ . made a sign (that L. printed) and stickers (that I ordered) for girl milk mate, a drink we sold at a small event. anime version that went over the booth

prompt: queer hedonism in the darkness, light pouring in, different levels (hosted in a 3-story warehouse with a plan to dramatically tune the amount of light coming through the blocked-off skylights to the music) used a monument valley layer as the scaffolding, redrew everything in illustrator, had fun (though spent quite a lot of time) illustrating tiny figures all interacting in the scene. gradient map cost some detail but overall okay with it. ...

it felt really good to get prints out (their weight and the texture of the riso is so satisfying in person!) and to have people want to buy them at the soundsystem check by the lake on a sunny day. i easily made back the cost of printing (2-color risos from tinysplendor.com) and made a decent profit. i still have more to move and guess i need to get good at marketing? ...

i wanted to go with a lighter theme than i usually do for my first daytime event flyer. we picked the name to reference an electrolyte drink product remembered fondly from one of the collective member’s childhoods. the background is full of electrolytes in lithium ion batteries (since this event tested the function of a custom battery build, which was successful! the entire soundsystem ran for several hours off of a custom setup of hacked tesla batteries, engineered brilliantly by L. (we did have generators ready as a backup, but didn’t need them)). ...
