Miscellaneous Monday - Internet Waste or Awesome Art?

[Meg Holbrook]

Good afternoon friends!

Apologies for the late post, but it's MOVING DAY for me here at the office. With that in mind, here's a quick distraction if, like me, your day has been somewhat hectic and you need a few moments to unwind with some mindless activity!

Enter SILK which is a fantastic and beautiful computer-generated drawing program that can net you a spiffy new computer background if you're so inclined. 

The coolest feature of this site is the ability to have rotational symmetry at varying degrees, mirroring, and duplicate points (and you can pick whatever colors tickle your fancy). 

Here's a quick 2-3 second image that I designed a few minutes ago:

The beauty is in the simplicity here, so play around! I hope you'll share your creations below. Happy Monday!

that is mesmerizing and really cool.

[Meg Holbrook]

Whoa, cool colors @Jack Brickey!

[Kimberly Deal _Columbus ACE_]

I love the colors of yours @Jack Brickey!  I say we all get it as matching tattoos at the next summit!

....ok, maybe just get it made as a temporary tattoo.  ;)

[Meg Holbrook]

hahaha YES @Kimberly Deal _Columbus ACE_

[Fadoua]

@Meg Holbrookthat looks like my brain right now, how did you guess? 😋

@Meg Holbrookmy gift on this rainy Monday to every champion and Atlassian people for making this space a great place for all of us.

[Jack Brickey]

dang! how come yours is beautiful and harmonious with nature where mine looks evil. I worry about me sometimes. 

[Jack Brickey]

but I will say that @Meg Holbrook's looks a bit like Krang from the Ninja Turtles...

[Fadoua]

@Jack BrickeyThere is nothing wrong with yours, it is beautiful. All I did was to move the "No rotational Symmetry" all the way to the right

[Jack Brickey]

aha...an advanced user!

[Fadoua]

Believe me first time using it. Look at Meg's picture and you will see at the bottom right a flower, then I was thinking there must be a way to do it.

[Meg Holbrook]

OMG @Jack Brickey - it DOES totally look like Krang, I'm cracking up right now.

@Fadoua- is just cooler than we are.

[Scott Theus]

I give you The Flying Spaghetti Monster. May you be forever touched by his Noodley Appendage.

[Jodi LeBlanc]

This is so cool and mesmerizing at the same time :) Here's mine, thanks for sharing Meg!

  

[Jodi LeBlanc]

supposed to be a butterfly!

[Meg Holbrook]

I definitely got butterfly vibes off of this one! Nicely done! Love the rainbow colors ^_^

[Jodi LeBlanc]

It was fun to make, and a nice 1 minute activity to recharge my mind with a little fun and creativity! thanks again, hope your move went well and that all your plants love their new digs :)

[Bastian Stehmann]

@Jodi LeBlanc, uups, my first thought was Diablo, although it is not so colourful. 

[Bastian Stehmann]

But it is also a wonderful butterfly. 

[Scott Theus]

"Its a bunny and a chicken!"

 

[Jack Brickey]

look out for Krang. He will eat both!

[Meg Holbrook]

hahaha, that's awesome!

[Kat Warner]

I call this one "noise". 

[Meg Holbrook]

Gorgeous @Kat Warner!! I love seeing the differences between everyone's art.
