Postcards Apr 11th, 2022

Made with Python Turtle. code


  • started by playing around with a single vanishing point
  • turned the squares into parallelograms
  • added cores to the shapes and a bit of light pink shading
  • stopped at v193, liked how it looks



Asteroids Mar 29th, 2022

Made with Python Turtle. code


  • started by jotting down some ideas
  • expanded on the concept of connected circles
  • next, filled in the circles and went crazy with the colors
  • realized that the scene looked a bit like space, so added shooting stars in the background
  • finally, added a background, elements on top, then the foreground, concluding at iteration v250 (final product)



Boxes Mar 27th, 2022

Made with Python Turtle. code


  • began with the concept of a rectangular mesh
  • started adding some variability
  • then, tried using the fibonacci sequence to add predictable randomness view
  • started messing around with adding circular movements between each row and column lines
  • after 254 iterations, chose this final one as my favourite
