Adam’s aigs

Try squinting. More. Nothing?
Tucked inside issue #7 of JPG magazine is a very brief article about an on-line resource called the Rasterbator. Regardless of your feelings about onanism or lame puns about it, this art project engine is worth a look. The program (dealing in half-toning, not raster layers despite the pun) will take in [...]
