Toronto artist and computer graphics programmer. I help maintain p5.js and its WebGL mode. Will probably answer your graphics questions if you ask 👀

Changing the shininess of a torus lit by a fire and a window

I'm Art Please Do Not Touch!

p5.js 2.3, written in Game of Life

TerribleHack 2026! Bad ideas only! e.g. Bird Translator, Tiny Bus Marquee, and Insane Captcha! THIS COULD BE YOU! April 26 at InterAccess!

photo of my sleeping cat where the camera lens is basically right inside her ear so it looks giant.

a p5 Web Editor sketch with a bunch of particles flying out of the mouse

Some colourful cones moving around the screen flocking like birds

Your ΔE_OK JND is 0.0046. You're seeing differences that most colour scientists would call noise. If you're not already calibrating displays for a living, you're leaving money on the table.

so many little balls bouncing that video compression is struggling

my cat pigeon mid yawn

A disco ball spinning

A weird looking 3D head, where the front gets progressively more sliced away, revealing a skull and brain inside.

A sketch with a 3D grid of spheres being recreated in a few different Processing and p5.js versions

Concentric warped diamonds rendered using checkboxes

A frog jumping around the screen.

A red square. When clicked, it shatters.

A bunch of green beetles walking around under a spotlight

A grid of cubes. One moves out of place.

A transparent plastic cassette labelled "p5.js 2.2" in front of some loopy tape

A sphere and a shadow, rendered with a bunch of tiny black dots.

Squares and circles aligned on a diagonal grid with a black white red and blue palette.

A wavy line splitting into rainbow sections

An ASCII character table arranged in a grid, warping around the mouse cursor

The text "p5*js" sliding across the screen as it warps, creating an organic trail

A repeating Finder face + Mac OS text. The face blinks.

the words ORDER and DISORDER forming and reforming out of particles

A donut floating in the air blinking in and out of existence casting shadows onto cubes below.

The text "p5*js" distorting and expanding to fit into a square.

A wiggly, goofy drawing of myself.

A grid of other creative code sketch components

Adding a 3D spin effect to a 3D sketch with a Macbook

Adding keyframes to amplitude and zoom parameters for another wavy text sketch

A sketch showing repeated wavy text, picking a font for it in the editor.

A physics simulation sketch. When you seek around the timeline, it jumps back and forward in time in the simulation.

An export of a short sketch of paper unfolding

Split screen editor and canvas showing a p5 sketch with wavy text

A 3D grid of cubes slowly changing size in waves

The source code for the sketch, slowly getting glitchier.

Particles slowly moving around the screen with a shifting colourful conic gradient coming out of each.

Abstract, warped, writhing, zebra striped shapes

Buildings sprawling across a hill

Screenshot of an editor with the sketch + a timeline and keyframes

Abstract 3D geometry made of cubes cut out of other cubes

A light switch on a wall, turned on and off by the mouse clicking on it

The text "GENUARY" in the middle with radiating stripes of blue and purple surrounding it

Morphing, blobby zebra stripes with grainy pixels

A bunch of stock photos of plants with fibonacci spirals haphazardly drawn on top with sentiments like "wow" and "crazy how nature do that" thrown on top

A blue, yellow, and red cube twisting with anticipation and overshoot

A warped red torus next to the following code:

let myShader;
let filterShader;

function setup() {
createCanvas(200, 200, WEBGL);
myShader = buildMaterialShader(() => {
let myNormal = sharedVec3()

pixelInputs.begin()
myNormal = pixelInputs.normal
pixelInputs.end()

finalColor.begin()
finalColor.set(mix(
[1, 1, 1, 1],
finalColor.color,
abs(dot(myNormal, [0, 0, 1]))
));
finalColor.end()
});

filterShader = buildFilterShader(() => {
filterColor.begin();
let coord = filterColor.texCoord;
coord.y += 0.1 * sin(coord.x * 20);
filterColor.set(getTexture(filterColor.canvasContent, coord));
filterColor.end();
});
}

function draw() {
background(255);
rotateY(millis() * 0.001);
shader(myShader);
lights();
noStroke();
fill('red');
torus(30);

filter(filterShader);
}

orb with shadow, rendered with a bunch of little circles

The intro to Pluribus, but I've spelled it P5UR1BUS because it's in p5. ha ha ha
