*draw-something* (2004-present) was inspired by my desire to better understand Harold Cohen's *AARON* program, which I had first encountered as a child. This version, *draw-something-onchain*, is taken from an early JavaScript implementation of the programme, modified to use an Art Blocks token hash as its initial seed for randomization.
*draw-something-onchain* starts by drawing random lines to provide a guide form or skeleton. It then encloses these carefully in a bounding form using an algorithm derived from observing my own hand while drawing. Finally it colours the drawing using colours chosen randomly in the Hue/Saturation/Lightness colour space, which generates intriguing colour schemes varying from pastel to psychedelic.
This process functions as as both drafting and sketching, abstraction and representation. It is, as much of my art is, a model of almost precisely how art is *not* made. Saying how is left as an exercise for the viewer.
