I've subscribed to a bunch of great newsletters recently, and am realizing I need to schedule time to read and appreciate them in more depth! I've added a few of them to my recommendations on SubStack here: https://newsletter.owmo.studio

If you have an older x-rite monitor calibrator and, like me, discover the software is no longer supported on recent Mac OS then check out this repo, which ports the popular DisplayCAL software to Python3 so it will keep older devices calibrating on OSX :) https://github.com/eoyilmaz/displaycal-py3

Many photographers on YouTube said the first time printing your work on a fine art printer is magical; brings it to life. Can confirm, I felt the magic! Making some 6x10 proofs on Epson Luster paper to figure out how to do a color calibrated workflow.

Joined the "fine art printer" club - excited to start testing out different papers and printing methods. Going to be a lot of fun making artist proofs and seeing my work go from on screen and into my living space.

Holding it closer to the wall, totally black... needs to be placed somewhere with back-lighting. Or perhaps embed some LEDs inside? Also, bubbles close-up

First attempt at a layered epoxy pour / print transfer did not work out, but I learned a bunch for next attempt: Bubbles, need more heat. Transfer sheets moved on the liquid surface, need to be flush with frame. Art is too dark, wrong project, more suitable for distinct shapes. /art

Here's a visualization of how bucket rendering works; each square is a chunk of the larger image and it gets rendered individually then are combined later into the final image. This cuts the memory requirement by a lot so the browser doesn't crash. #themoreyouknow /genart

Inching closer to an aesthetic I really enjoy; bringing out vibrant colours and brightness while maintaining strong contrast. Many rounds of pushing values then pulling back in specific areas using depth, normals, luminance, edge detection, etc. /gen-art

Playing around with animated 2D SDF masks on my artwork. Mostly to stress test my new frame output feature in my artwork engine, each of the frames takes about 15 minutes to render so it's more akin to a renderer you'd find in something like Blender. Could be a fun way to make video content, lots to play with here! /gen-art

Whoah! Figured out another fun thing I could do with 2D SDF data when setting up the render. Going to have a lot of fun producing different sets from this work I think! /genart

I wonder if using 2D SDF's as a mask for Entropy could yield some interesting compositions... mocked up my OWMO logo to test the idea. Not sure what I'll do with this new unlocked ability just yet. /gen-art

Discovered I can shift the frame across several renders and when side-by-side it holds up pretty well. Will make this into a feature and queue up high quality triptychs! /gen-art

Working on infrastructure - website, art/blockchain API, engine for my art, render queue - to have streamlined workflows in my practice. Maybe too much time spent on tooling, but I know the value is there having worked as a pipeline developer for big studios in the past. /gen-art

Been trying an epoxy pour technique where you bond ink jet prints on clear sheets to the epoxy, in hopes of creating a senes of depth. Learning by doing, I have an idea of how I might improve the next proof. Read about my explorations of depth on my blog https://www.owmo.studio/blog/exploring-depth /gen-art

My latest Newsletter discusses some of the work I'm doing to pass "the wall test" for both my static and motion work. Shoutouts include: @pixelpete - frame iPad art display @camillerouxart - latest GENART episode @WaitingToSign - great genart podcast https://newsletter.owmo.studio/p/001-evolving-perspectives

Using my home office printer to test out an idea that required layered outputs and clear sheets to print on. Any guesses? /art

Bumped up the sampling and rendered this at 300dpi for a mock 15x20" print for this 7-layer output. Seems like everything is holding up splendidly! /gen-art

I'm more confident in getting a fine art printer now that my Entropy algorithm can render at high resolution with a drastic reduction in visual noise. Next, I plan to print off each layer and do a small scale proof of an idea I've had for a physical. More on that next week! 👀

It nearly drove me to madness, but bucker rendering is now working along side progressive sampling! All on a per-layer structure that is stitched back together! Why? I can render print resolution without crashing the browser and it really helps clean up a lot of the noise. /gen-art
