"Random Duets of Something"
The prompt says to make a grid of permutations of something. My first thought was to take the word "Something", break it into chunks and shuffle those chunks, like THSOINMEG. Totally would have technically, literally been permutations of something.
Instead, I took the things mentioned in "Something" by the Beatles, and selected random 2-permutations of those, and assigned them to random 2-permutations of the Beatles themselves, and envisioned that as a little duet.
Also, I drew a couple random flowers (epicycloids + circles for easy botany) to make it more suitable for a Summer Of Love art mood.
I drew the text using the "Futura L" Hershey Font, and my own hershey font renderer. I think the text came out OK - it's totally legible at this size, but I wouldn't want to go much smaller with a 0.5mm pen.
Tools Used: AxiDraw, Pentel .5mm pen
Languages Used: Python
Development Time: ~1 hour
Drawing Time: ~10 minutes
What's Generative Here: The flower positions, rotations, and color were selected randomly. Each duet is a random selection of 2-permutations of phrases from "Something" combined with random 2-permutations of Beatles.
