Al.chemy: an open drawing project

Al.chemy is an awesome open-source drawing program. It's basically a shape generator,  however it's more than just a shape generator. The algorithms in Al.chemy uses information on the users computer like fonts, to generate the simple or complex shapes it spits out, and is unique to everyones computer. Al.chemy incorporates unique drawing tools to quickly create wild, abstract digital paintings, and is especially fun with a drawing tablet. For example I drew the above graphic with my Macbook Pro trackpad in about 20 seconds. It also is used and promoted by Andrew "Android" Jones, who is an upcoming visionary graphic artist based out of the Bay Area. Check it out.

  1. I will do a review of this program and possibly some tutorials soon. Watch some Youtube videos or check out the Al.chemy forum in the meantime for inspiration. If you don't have the Al.chemy drawing program already and have not downloaded it by now...do it. It's free!
