It's great, but it'd be even greater if it had a gallery where you could browse through people's drawings!

Drawing the most artistic vaginas on the web

That's incredible. I used to do a lot of work with Apophysis and I think I've been reinspired to start up again.<p>What's more incredible is that it runs on my rather outdated machine. I'm so used to these Javascript-HTML5 canvas projects to cause my computer to eat dirt, but this was as smooth as I could possibly have expected.

That probably gave me the most instant "wow" feeling any web page has ever given me. That's _really_ impressive!

As someone who is just fascinated by symmetry, I could play with this forever.

nice drawing effect but the copyright claims are pretty dangerous: they claim any art created with it must have a creative commons attribution license. this is total BS.

I really like this trend of mobile apps with a fully functional experience on the web. Adrift for iOS is nice example of using this approach for a trial/teaser experience. It's worth checking out the fully playable demo on the game's site at <a href="http://www.playadrift.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.playadrift.com/</a>, and the base app is free if you want to compare/contrast that to the mobile device experience. Beautifully done, IMO.

The output leaves something to be desired: only 1375x918.<p>I imagine it could be a popular tool to generate custom desktop/device backgrounds, but the low resolution combined with incorrect aspect ratio (not 16:9, 16:10, or even 4:3) makes it unappealing for that use.<p>(Edit: actually based entirely off how big your window is, see child comments)

Pretty awesome:)<p>Can't save the Thumbnail in Chrome 27.0.1448.0 dev-m though. It only allows me to copy the image and paste it somewhere (which is enough) but I thought I'd mention it in case it's a bug in Silk and not in Chrome Dev.

I'm thinking an API where you supply random seed nr, image size and optionally color and are returned an image. Useful for avatar creation :)

Loved the site when I first came across it a few months ago, but I'm really into the new interface and color mixer. Nice job!

I wonder if perhaps the universe was designed using an app such as this?
