Intuitive New Age Painter

"Playing with color is fun and relaxing. You can make your own intuitive painting in our interactive painter. You don't have to click or select color to get beautiful results. Just move the mouse! It is so easy, even a monkey could do it. All you need is a shockwave plugin and a 24 bit screendepth.
Have fun!
Hint: try painting with your eyes closed. You will get the most beautiful results."

Cf. Jeffrey Sutton: Painter Creativity Digital Artist's Handbook

"The goal of this book is for you to realize your full creative potential and express yourself in your art with soul and passion. You will learn how to use the amazing paint program Painter 7 to create expressive portraits, transform photographs, and produce evocative collage and painterly animations."

Signwave Auto-Illustrator

"Signwave Auto-Illustrator is an experimental, semi-autonomous, generative software artwork and a fully functional vector graphic design application to sit alongside your existing professional graphic design utilities. Use it to explore a wide range of generative and procedural techniques in the production of your own graphic designs."

Signwave Autoshop

"Autoshop takes the clean-cut, productive interface of a well-known commercial software product (Adobe® Photoshop® in case you hadn't noticed) and imbues it with ideas of self-generative, autonomous, (creative?) influence and activity. Autoshop is capable of being both a tool for generating digital images under (variable) human control, and a play-pen for artificial/digital lifeforms, A.I. bots, and pseudo-chaos systems. The output is entertaining, startling and thoroughly usable."

"It's the new tool graphic designers don't want you to know about!"

"n_Gen allows users with no graphic design experience to create professional quality output with their own text content. n_Gen takes over the burdensome task of designing, leaving the user to simply pick and choose the generated images they like."
