This drawing uses all the figures from a set of hand-digitized representational images. The full set consists of: Goose, Frog, Fat Cat and Elephant. I often used these interchangeable figures in my early works.
I used to be an Engineering graphics professor. Back in the day, before CAD, we were developing algorithms for perspective drawing. In this piece I wrote an algorithm to randomly distribute my digital menagerie on the surface of a cylinder. Then I used the computer to draw the data using perspective drawing equations we had developed.
The result is a one-point perspective as if looking through the length of the cylinder.
I've been involved in many aspects of computer art/computer graphics. First as a student and pioneer of the medium at Michigan State University (MSU). Followed by several years of professing engineering graphics, computer graphics and computer art at The Ohio State University (OSU). Followed by being called upon to start a program at Northern Illinois University (NIU), College of Visual and Performing Arts, School of Art, Department of Design called Electronic Media, where I was an Associate Professor of Design.
This collection presents the original plotter drawings (pen on paper) programmed in FORTRAN, executed on a CDC6500 mainframe computer and an offline Calcomp 936 drum plotter. Done at Michigan State University during my MFA/PhD era, 1974-1981.
First buyer of every artwork gets an original print mailed to them. Contact me on Twitter to arrange this.
