My minicomic "Alcoholalia," 2004.

A remix of a Maakies comic by Tony Millionaire, done with Mr. Millionaire's permission.  Done entirely in Microsoft Paint, from a pretty lo-res version of the strip (this was 2004, after all) I downloaded from the Maakies website.  It's also been available at UbuWeb but in a slightly mangled format I've never been able to get them to fix.  I'd rather have it seen properly, so I'll post the entire thing here.  

And here is the original Maakies strip:

Here is an old review of Alcoholalia by Derik Badman, who later started making his own abstract comics and ended up contributing to the Abstract Comics anthology.

Abstract Comics using Code (software art)

Over the last few years, I have been increasingly interested in software and generative art. Software art requires the artist to first think through and set up a system within which creativity and generation of imagery can happen. Tools like https://processing.org/, as well as more modern coding libraries, reduce the complexity of actually building code that draws art. For Derik's 30 Days of Comics, I created a system that combined visuals, randomized text, and panel number to create a variety of images. Some are included below.

Apologies for the text in advance, though I do believe the text here is non-representational and used as an icon more than a narrative. Some curation was needed to select good outcomes, but not much.
