Zahir noticed that every time he took his shirt off in front of a mirror, he had a euphoric swelling sensation in the vicinity of his pants zipper, and decided to look into it.

I love you random.org, I love you oblique strategies, I love you websites like seventhsanctum and springhole, I love you procedural generation, I love you fractal art, I love you dice, I love you tarot, I love collaborating with the random chaos of the universe to create meaning!!
#creativity#oblique strategies#random generators#im bad at decisions! but im good at building algorithms and refining + editing the outputs#like. ive been using random.org to help me choose outfits since i was a teen! i have an algorithm for clothes based on season and weather#and ive been editing it as i need to#i have a doc thats basically an art randomizer. i make rolls for subject matter size and media. it's weighted based on my interests#and im never beholden to the results of the random rolls it just gets my brain started#(like if i *know* i want to push something specifically i wont roll for it. ive been focusing on digital art lately because i really want to#nail down my workflow for that)#coming clean! i used to use colormind.io to give me random limited color palettes for digital art#and i learned so much about what colors i like to use so over the past few months ive been developing my Own color palette#i have 10 colors now that i love and i make random rolls to narrow it down to 5 for any given piece#maybe you neurotypicals out there can just Make A Decision but thats not me#anyways. this post generated because the aipocalypse has brought up a ton of ableist rhetoric in the art community 🙃#and for a moment there i was bogged down by the imposter syndrome. but then i had a Think#and decided i would rather Celebrate the way my mind works instead of hiding in shame because i dont work the way people think it Should#this is all so tied up in the autism for me#anyways. i love you diffusion models#tag rant#if you actually read all that um. i want to give you a prize or somethin lol#yarrow speaks into the void

Oblique Strategies GB
Oblique Strategies is a deck of cards designed to help artists break up an art block. Each of the 100+ cards contain a possible action to take or a new way of thinking about a creative problem. They were created by artists Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt in the 70s and have been updated with various new editions over the years.
This is a port of that deck of cards for Game Boy, for some reason.
It was made by me, Nicky Flowers, as a way to learn how GB Studio works. Turns out it works pretty well! I boot up the ROM on my DMG when I get stuck working on music or coding or really anything where I'm creating stuff. I hope you might find it useful too!

Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies
A set of cards with aphorisms or suggestions meant to prompt a different approach to problem-solving or creative work. For example, a card might say Use an old idea, encouraging the artist to revisit or reinterpret previous concepts.
The idea is to introduce an element of randomness and unpredictability into the creative process, fostering new ideas and breaking away from conventional thinking. Artists often draw a card at random when they find themselves stuck in their work.

It's the process, not the end result, that matters.
