Where I come from people might look at this and utter "Bit'chin Camero" regardless that there is in fact no Camero here, or even a car, but instead a virtual knot made of boxes. A generated knot that is so great i'm left with no response that is actually referential to the image in question. therefore- the bit'chin Camero. This image was created by Isaac Bordens his Flickr stream is here I have not yet come across a website for him but I'll keep you posted.

I am a big fan of these guys. They're precariously balanced between cute and monstrous. Which isn't an easy thing to accomplish. The little horns and eyes are hand made and painted and I can't imagine someone not

It is truly amazing what can be done with a flat piece of paper. Generative art is not just art made on the computer but the art that results from any iterative process.
