Part 5: Using other people's art

Some favourite artists to draw inspiration from

Now that we've covered some of the ethical issues involved, I'd like to introduce my key sources of inspiration so far. When I first told Egg that I felt excited about making generative art, they shared a handful of artists and virtual galleries that they've personally found inspiring. They're mostly relatively older sources, as Egg hasn't kept up much with the generative art landscape in recent years:

The Generative Art Museum

Jared Tarbell

Tyler Hobbs (who wrote some great tutorials)

Michael Hansmeyer (Egg says to check out this piece especially)

Casey Reas

Egg also suggested that I check out some of the generative art programs that are out there:

Apophysis

XaoS

Mandelblub
