Vector Image Stylization
I’ve stylized a few drawings with a vectorization program called autotrace. Here is a brief summary of the process:
The vectorization command looks like this:
autotrace -corner-threshold 20 -filter-iterations 15 threshold.pbm > vectorized.eps

Posterizer
Last month I introduced Posterizer, a simple little program that reduces images to a handful of key colors you select. Rather than postpone it indefinitely until I’m completely satisfied with it, I’ve decided to release what I’ve got so far.
Download Posterizer Test Release (Mac OS X Universal Binary, 2.9MB)
The documentation on packaging a Tcl/Tk script as this kind of stand-alone application bundle is sparse, so the remaining rough edges stem from this experimental integration.

Posterizer Sneak Preview
Posterizer is a little program that helps you make reduced-color versions of your images. You select a palette of colors and the program renders the picture using just those colors. This is nothing that can’t be done already with a capable image editor, but Posterizer makes it more straightforward.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Posterizer is based on a simplified version of an image classification demo I wrote in college, repackaged for the desktop instead of the web.
Coming soon for Mac OS X. It’s written in Tcl/Tk and standard C, so Linux and Windows versions are not inconceivable (but they won’t taste nearly as good).

Fresh Sketches
Just a few new sketches drawn “on location” this evening at a free Ron Sunshine concert in the Bing. Finished off a little sketchbook, if nothing else. Getting an urge to do some bigger drawings!

New Doodles
I’ve uploaded 26 recent sketches to my gallery. A few are based on people met or seen in New Orleans. The rest, as usual, are drawn from random sources around the internet (primarily Flickr). The self portrait, of course, was drawn from my reflection in the window.
