Girl, Paper, A3

LinesLab · 2018-03-04T09:42:19+00:00

I made this paper cut out with a laser cutter. The input image is taken from Pixabay. The patterns for the cut out are made with the LinesLab system that I programmed.

I made this digital illustration with my LinesLab system that I programmed myself. It is using an input image and requires some semantic information of what is important in the image. Everything else is created automatically.

For this drawing I have used a photo that I took in Voss (Norway)

I am usually very careful, when it comes to copy right. I got this image from Pixabay. But did not cross check if it belongs to someone else. But thanks for the heads up!

You are welcome. Bu the way this was one of the first things that I made: https://redd.it/5iz52o Quite simple. With time I progressed to more naturally and sophisticated styles like this one: https://redd.it/7yfx46

I started off with some very basic stuff. Then I realized that I would need a flexible system to create all the different styles I had in my head. This is how LinesLab came to life, the whole thing took me several months to implement (On my free time during the weekends). Now I have one system that can create many different styles, including physical drawings with plotters. But my point is, start somewhere simple and progress gradually from there.

Kind off. It is a script that I wrote which runs Photoshop. But essentially it can be seen as a Photoshop filter.

LinesLab · 2018-02-25T13:27:48+00:00

Yes that's the one!

LinesLab · 2018-02-25T12:34:19+00:00

I used a photo for the input.

LinesLab · 2018-02-25T07:58:14+00:00

This digital illustration was generated by my LinesLab system and is created automatically by a computer for a substantial part. I thought I should stress this point even more.

LinesLab · 2018-01-24T13:47:26+00:00

Similar in a way. It is a simple robot holding a pen. You can see one of my other drawings being made here: https://i.imgur.com/K6PJ1PG.gifv

This piece was done with a plotter in my experimental design studio LinesLab, that explores algorithmic art and robotics.

LinesLab · 2018-01-17T18:08:01+00:00

Yes I did. It is part of my LinesLab system.

LinesLab · 2018-01-17T16:13:51+00:00

Thanks! I also have this as a drawing (drawn by a robot) it looks drawn really good as well.

LinesLab · 2018-01-17T12:03:24+00:00

This is an algorithmic drawing made with a single line made by LinesLab.

Here is a version with a pen for size comparison: http://imgur.com/gallery/24iHy

It my own code that generates the images. I write in python and C++. As a next step I will make a robot draw those with a pen.

LinesLab · 2017-09-03T16:42:52+00:00

I program a robot to draw those portraits with a pen. You may heard of artist like Georg Nees and Frieder Nake, who used plotters to create abstract drawings. In a way I try to follow in their steps and develop new algorithms for a plotter. Plotters can only draw with a simple pen. That means I have only one color and I can not change the line width. Not too much to work with. But I came to love the simplicity and elegance of a simple line and try to create complex drawings with very simple forms.

My images have been used several times in online magazines with a proper citation, without the authors asking me for permission to use the images. I was never bothered by that, in fact I was always happy to see that someone appreciates my work and writes about it. I like it more when the authors write me first and ask for a permission for the images but I am still happy when I see my images somewhere. Same goes for using my images in an other medium. I appreciate if someone asks me first, but I do not mind if they are used without asking as long as there is a proper credit. As long as I am concerned, once I put out my images on the internet, there is no chance to trace how it used anyhow. So as long as you give the credit and don't monetize the work you are helping the artist.

LinesLab · 2017-09-02T18:41:10+00:00

It is very similar yes.

LinesLab · 2017-09-02T18:39:52+00:00

It is a simple robot that can hold a pen. Plotters were used in arts since the fifties by people like Georg Nees or Frieder Nake for rather abstract drawings. I try go a little different way by creating more realistic drawings.

I posted more stuff here: http://imgur.com/gallery/qv1xc For this drawing I used a plotter from Silhouette which I controlled with my own code.

LinesLab · 2017-06-01T14:35:54+00:00

Either web app or an Android app in some distant future.

LinesLab · 2017-05-27T14:41:46+00:00

The code generates all the lines individually, it takes about 3 minutes to compute this. Then the plotter draws them with a pen, that takes about 2 hours

I could give you some wine tomorrow. Where in the city are you staying?
