TOKI WOKI. 

Finally a new AIR app! It’s called FFFFOUND Desk­top and if you like FFFFOUND you’ll love it.

More info on the projet’s page, as usual.

Just like the other AIR apps, it uses some home-brewed open-source util­ity classes, some of which have been updated for this project, go play with’em!

I’ve just been intro­duced to Scrip­tog­ra­pher, this Illus­tra­tor plu­gin allows you to script actions (in JavaScript) in order to auto­mate things, to raster bitmaps, to cre­ate tools or more.

Being a big Illus­tra­tor fan and know­ing JavaScript quite well I’ve started play­ing with it a bit. It can be a lit­tle tricky when you’re look­ing for doc­u­men­ta­tion or when you’re used to work­ing with a flipped y-axis like in Action­Script but you can achieve nice things with only a few lines of code.

The first script I wrote is called Qink and is some sort of china ink paint­brush. It doesn’t work very well yet so I won’t post it now. Drop a com­ment if you want to try it.

The sec­ond thing I wrote has no name yet but works pretty well. It is not buggy at all but I need to rethink the script a lit­tle before post­ing it. Here’s an exam­ple of what you can do with it:

The con­cept is sim­ple: use any image’s pix­els as your color swatch. Either for live paint­ing, or to apply on a path. Expect nice or funny results! Again, drop a com­ment if you can’t wait.

The third thing is called Qat­tern. This one allows you to quickly and eas­ily build a pat­tern… It’s kind of sim­ple, but a video might explain this better:

I did it to go with my blog theme’s new abil­ity to han­dle back­ground patterns… It’s work­ing alright so here is the source code! Play with it, break it and send feed­back… I’m sure things can be improved, if you’ve got sug­ges­tions, share them!

Here are some of the cities I’ve vis­ited this sum­mer, remas­tered a bit.

Inspired by some­thing I saw on the Inter­net once ; can’t remem­ber where, sorry.

Just show­ing off a bit, sorry.

My bro and me. Back in the days.

Remem­ber my “track week”? Well ; I dug my backup CDs, found mostly shitty things, but also nice ones. So I decided to do a “pic week”, start­ing today, end­ing next friday.

Begin­ning with my fam­ily and friends.

I’m pretty proud of this one. Tell me what you think!

This week is going to be my “track week”, one track per day until next sun­day! Lucky you.

I did that last week.
