Using modern tools and through a renewed collaboration with my partner from the past, Chris Scussel, we have by reproduced the algorithm that gave flight to my digitized data base of creatures: Goose, Frog, Elephant and Fat Cat. (I keep keep these images as lists of number pairs on sheets of graph paper in a file folder for the past 50 years.)

The medium of computer graphics has progressed profoundly from batch-mode off line plotting to an interactive real-time experience. Back then we could only imagine interacting with our images, now we can. In this piece you get to make artistic choices that determine the outcome.

While the program executes you can compose your own version of Creature Curve.

Here are the keyboard controls (keys) at your disposal to interact with the NFT:

(Make sure the click your cursor on the image to give it focus)

key - action
==============
space bar - clearScreen (restart)
up arrow - increase speed
down arrow - decrease speed
left arrow - pause
right arrow - resume

1 - change creature to frog
2 - change creature to cat
3 - change creature to elephant
4 - change creature to goose (default)

==============

Pause the image at any point to admire your composition or take a screen capture. Resume or restart. Draw with one creature or change that creature on the fly (pun intended).

The original plotter artwork Bird Curves was produced in 1975. It came be seen (and purchased) at: https://www.drbillkolomyjec.com/hard-copy/plotter-prints/bird-curves
