Culture clash. Thinking about how I want to represent different cultures and show them mixing and mashing.

Separation Anxiety.

I was debugging the minimum separation between each boid's in the flock by drawing only the pixels where boids were overlapping. This resulted in some interesting shapes and--with a bunch of aesthetic adjustments--resulted in images like this.

I'm really enjoying the alternation of visual debugging and then producing something aesthetically pleasing from it.

Working through a rough storyboard for the thought box project. Wish my drawing skills were better but it feels great to think exciting thoughts on paper.
