260 - Forgeries
Day 260. This pattern was made by first modelling a 3D shape using an app called Forge of Neon, which is pretty interesting in its own right. But then I took the 3D shape into MegaPhoto+ and passed it through the kaleidoscope filter to mirror it and split it up, then applied another couple of filters to explore a number of different effects. I liked the diversity of them so I used Diptic to create this grid of my four favourites.ts fascinating that these were all created from the same original 3D image.

259 - Selfie Style
Day 259. I was in an iPad art workshop today with the yoda of iPad Art herself, Cathy Hunt. Cathy had a ton of interesting ideas as always, and really got me thinking about the notion of iPad workflow, or app smashing, or just applying effects in multiple layers. We had a go of making a selfie, so this one was taken with the camera, drawn and traced using Type Drawing, then had several effects put on it using Megaphoto+.

252 - Hitting the Wall
Day 252. I did another App Slam today with one of my Year 5 classes. I got the kids to get up and share an app, game, tool or tip they think is cool or useful in less than 2 minutes. The neat thing about doing app slams is that I always learn about some interesting tools I've not heard of. This image was made with an app called Graffiti Me, and was a first pass at using it.

250 - What a Relief!
As I was finishing my artwork I got paged to the information desk. I went across to see why they wanted me and it seems that I left my passport in the bathroom 10 minutes before and someone had handed it in. Getting this back was a much bigger relief! Thank you kind stranger!

247 - Game of Cat and Mouse
What I found interesting was that if you run the simulation for a while, (70 cycles in the example below) and then export the data out of the array, you can open it in a spreadsheet and graph it. When I did that and sorted the times from smallest to largest, the regularity of the curve was striking. As random as we think things might be, the scope of that "randomness" is fairly predictable. There are no real gaping holes in the times.
The other interesting thing is that, while sketching and drawing are usually seen as the outlets for creativity, the amount of creative problem solving, trial and error and "what if" brainstorming that I do when I'm programming like this is far more intense.
