In this article we'll have a look at all that is necessary to start collecting NFTs on Tezos! We'll first have a look at what Tezos actually is, how blockchains work, and how art can exist in the form of non-fungible tokens on the blockchain. We'll get our hands dirty: we'll install the Temple wallet, set it up as a browser extension and collect our first NFT in one of the many marketplaces in the vibrant Tezos eco-system.

Generators are a bit of an obscure feature of Javascript, and their usefulness might not be immediately evident. This article aims at explaining how they work and what they can be used for! We’ll first have a look at the syntax and how generators are typically implemented, followed by some use cases where generators come in really handy! We'll also briefly dip our toes into the concept of iteration, iterators and iterables and lastly also have a look at the lazy evaluation programming paradigm and how generators are one way to implement it!

A write-up of my fxhash project 'Neo Supremus', a generative ode to Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist compositions. In this article, we'll have a look at some of Malevich's Suprematist compositions as well as some of the techniques that I used to recreate these compositions in a generative manner.

Images in digital art and photography are frequently purposefully perturbed with grainy textures, often intending to evoke a tactile feeling and to add an ounce of ruggedness to an artwork. In this manner, grain is a valuable tool on your generative artist tool belt to elevate your artwork. This article discusses several techniques to achieve grain with p5, texture overlays, SVG filters, and shaders. We’ll discuss each one in great detail and the ups and downsides.
