I participated in Genuary 2026 this year. I went with one prompt a week and kept the files here. I also focused on using SVGs for this run and kept all of them 100x100.



JAN. 1: One color, one shape


I used an arrow that followed the gradient from OpenSimplex noise. I created a base shape, copied it on to a hexagonal grid, then used transformations to rotate them.

JAN. 10: Polar coordinates


This is a random walk through polar coordinates. The arc length is consistent so the change in theta is different based on the radius.

JAN. 17: Wallpaper group


This is based on a herringbone pattern for group pg. The colors are based on RGB and modulo on row number.

JAN. 27: Lifeform. A shape or structure that behaves as if it’s alive or growing.


Based on vegetation. This work uses cubic curves.

JAN. 29: Genetic evolution and mutation.


This has three polygons that grow until one reaches the outer boundary. This is my least favorite out of all of them.
