Intuitive New Age Painter

"Playing with color is fun and relaxing. You can make your own intuitive painting in our interactive painter. You don't have to click or select color to get beautiful results. Just move the mouse! It is so easy, even a monkey could do it. All you need is a shockwave plugin and a 24 bit screendepth.

Have fun!

Hint: try painting with your eyes closed. You will get the most beautiful results."

Painter

Cf. Jeffrey Sutton: Painter Creativity Digital Artist's Handbook

Signwave Auto-Illustrator

"Signwave Auto-Illustrator is an experimental, semi-autonomous, generative software artwork and a fully functional vector graphic design application to sit alongside your existing professional graphic design utilities. Use it to explore a wide range of generative and procedural techniques in the production of your own graphic designs."

Signwave Autoshop

"Autoshop takes the clean-cut, productive interface of a well-known commercial software product (Adobe® Photoshop® in case you hadn't noticed) and imbues it with ideas of self-generative, autonomous, (creative?) influence and activity. Autoshop is capable of being both a tool for generating digital images under (variable) human control, and a play-pen for artificial/digital lifeforms, A.I. bots, and pseudo-chaos systems. The output is entertaining, startling and thoroughly usable."
