John Pound, the artist who helped create Garbage Pail Kids, has been toiling away in relative obscurity, building randomized, computer generated comic strips since the 1980s. After purchasing his first computer, Pound became fascinated with digital art, and learned the programming language PostScript, which he still uses to create his works today. Wired writes: He coaxed […]
Perhaps you’ve seen those maybe-for-real-maybe-ironic “wrong” band t-shirts, which pair the image of one artist with the name of another. (This Bob Marley/Jimi Hendrix mashup is probably the most famous example.) Hipsterbait, a project by the artist Shardcore, takes the concept a step further, algorithmically generating a new shirt every day and instantaneously offering it […]

And though he didn’t use watercolors himself, Kynd says he was inspired by that venerated master of the magnificently milquetoast: Bob Ross. Kynd says […]

After this image of a woman in a “Body Wrap” arrived in the results, Plummer-Fernandez used his own algorithm, similar to Google’s, to sculpt a blank digital slate […]
