1. Manually type the from/to angle.
2. Clicking with the Scriptographer pen tool anywhere on the artboard as the from/to angles are calculated from the origin of the circle.
3. Or, by a combination of the two methods above.

The script snaps to anchors as well so adding anchors to the circle could be an easy way of creating a regular pattern. Although not “officially” released, the script can be found/downloaded here.

While the two images above has nothing to do with hyperbolic geometry they are nevertheless created by MC Escher – who, on the other hand, was a master of such art. Besides being nice to look at these images serves me as a reminder that I should probably take the time to do something with my Block Mania script. I mean, I spent a lot of time making these, I should make something cool.

Please, Tom, release this for OSX and/or iOS!!!

The workflow is actually very similar to one of my own Scriptographer tools, about which I’ve written a small post here. The number of primitives have been expanded recently as well as the addition of a new feature here and there. Although the fonts created will probably be best suited as display fonts, I think it’s a really nice tool where one can try out various ideas without much trouble. It’s also great fun to just browse the multitude of user submitted fonts for inspiration. I will definately try out some ideas once my computer is working properly again…

Hey, I just remembered! It was James Davies‘ tutorial over at PSDTuts+ and I was wrong, he scanned with the lid down. I however, scanned an empty bed with the lid open and got a completely different result. Especially when I inverted the colors.

The image was scanned at 600dpi so this copy is severely reduced in size and resolution but the details are pretty nice when observed close enough, as in the image below (click to enlarge).

Next I scanned my hand but held it an inch or two above the scanner to produce this blurry (due to both motion and being out of focus) image.

This was clearly at a time when I was listening to the Year Zero album by Nine Inch Nails.

I was a complete stranger to this magazine and I had never before heard about glitch art (although I was always curious as to how he designed the With Teeth and The Social Network record sleeves) but it seemed good enough for a one-year subscription. No regrets there, every page in this magazine is jam-packed with enormously inspiring images and there’s not even a single advert as well. Apparently, I’ve missed out on quite a bit, but luckily they are available for back orders so these are the ones I have picked up. Looking forward…
