Every month or so we invite an sketcher/artist/coder to create a piece of work to be featured on sketchPatch. We also invite them to choose a piece of work from sketchPatch to copy and version.

This months featured sketcher is: Alex May aka PsychicTeeth


Alex is a rogue software engineer who is interested in complex interactive systems. He has spent ten years writing video games professionally and as an interest.

He is also pursuing procedural and generative artwork as another branch of interactive art. Alex likes tai chi, games, and new stuff.

Velocity Tree


play
Alex's original work developed as featured artist on sketchPatch

Velocity Tree grows random branches from a single point in the sketch with restricted parameters, gradually building up a more and more dense sphere over time.

Clicking on the sketch window restarts the process from the beginning and from a different point every time.

Recursion 3, 4 & 5

The shapes in Recursion 3,4 & 5 are drawn next to each other in a recursive function. Recursion 5 looks slightly different each time you refresh the page.
