From his generative collection these ones really stand out:

It's almost hard to believe they are computer generated. They just seem so organic.

It looks like the links you posted are broken because the site owner doesn’t allow hotlinking to those images.

Could you post the link to the blog post with those images? I’d absolutely love to see them!

Thanks for linking those, Anders. jv22222 is right, they really do look amazingly organic. Love your work!

thank you. btw, the green one is rather similar to floraform by Nervous System. https://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/projects/sets/floraform/

If you don't mind me asking, can you recommend any good resources for getting into generative art?

I've been interested for a while and played around a bit, but I'd like to dive in a bit more since I have a bit more spare time now than I've had in while.

there are some references on my website. see the faq and the generative section. there are many ways to start. depends on your previous knowledge and how you prefer to work. the nature of code is a book that might be of interest. Nervous System have written up several of their projects. then there is the work by early generative artists. Vera Molnar, Frieder Nake, Manfred Mohr, Lillian Schwartz, among others. also, see https://github.com/terkelg/awesome-creative-coding/blob/mast...

Thank you for the recommendations! I’ll check them out.

Hitting enter in the address bar allows you to access them

I was accessing them on mobile earlier, so maybe that was the difference? I'm almost certain I did that.

Either way, the author posted the links, so I saw what jv22222 was talking about.

On Chrome mobile you need to put a '?' in the URL so it thinks it's a new site and doesn't send the referrer.
