The same author's "Procedurally-generated vector-format infinitely-scrolling Chinese landscape" is also quite beautiful:

Yes, Lingdong Huang is awesome! I have that exact one running on a framed eInk display on my wall. I had to make some minor modifications to make it run in NodeJS instead of in a browser, and then generate a raster image to send to the eInk display, but it wasn't hard.

I got permission from the author to post my work to Hackaday (with credit to him) which I'll do at some point. I'm actually working on a 3-panel "wide" version of it that I want to get done first.

Really great project! Thanks for sharing it

I looked at his github and yes is is awesome. Thanks for pointing this. Will read a bit more of his stuff.

That's brilliant, and a perfect application for a display like that. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing the 3-panel version

Inconvergent (https://inconvergent.net/) is another stunning generative artist as well; their generative trees (browser version: https://zv.github.io/static/algorithmic-tree.html) are especially evocative of Fishdraw.
