CombScript is a language and tool for creating technical vector designs. One goal of CombScript is to express designs for laser-cutting naturally, so they are easier to adjust and customize.

This essay discusses computational art, additive synthesis, shaping functions, and terrain generation with interactive code examples. I originally wrote this to accompany a lecture for Parson's Code Club.

The second prototype uses a rack and pinion drive system and a frame built from Open Beam. This version draws much faster and can raise and lower the pen. The new frame makes it much more ridged as well.

Greg and I are building a white-board drawbot. This is the first prototype, it uses a screw drive system and laser-cut hardware mounts. It draws very slowly, can't lift the pen off the board yet, and has been known to wobble itself to pieces. But it draws.

Noah Miller and I participated in a repeat-pattern printing class at the Gowanus Print Lab. This is the hand-printed wallpaper I made.

This screen grab is from a series of experiments attempting to recreating the look of natural media using custom shaders and other techniques in Unity 3D. Textures define how the brush and paper look, and shaders model how they combine. HDR rendering was used to create a bleed effect in some experiments.

This globe was created parametrically in Blender. I started with an icosphere textured with a three-color, hand-adjusted map of earth. The colors represented land, sea, and deep sea. A python script extruded or removed the icosphere points as based on the map.
