I really like this sort of thing. Many years ago when canvas tags were a new thing I wrote http://ooer.com/autograph/canvas/ (click the 'Generate Autograph' button to see something). It makes an SVG that you can save (right click..) and print at silly resolutions. I kept meaning to do something good with it but never got around to it. Great work.

EDIT: I made it so long ago I forgot how it works. :) It's the PHP version that can do SVG versions... http://ooer.com/autograph/ (click 'design your own' at the bottom).

I'm behind variart, thanks for submitting this. It's a bit early, I just took the wraps off late last week but if you have any questions or comments, let me know!

    procedural art is not a new space! please collaborate with some established artists, or at least young imitators of established artists in this space. It's a slick implementation of an interesting idea but you need to offer things worth putting on a wall.

      It is certainly my intention to open up the API more and allow folks to create their own pieces. In fact, I hope the community aspect far outgrows the "seed" pieces that I created to launch the site. However, in terms of launching an MVP, documenting and hardening the API for anyone was too much to take on right away.

    Have you considered allowing users to provide their own image(s) as input to the generator?
