A set of little abstract doodles that display randomness of code effects and deliberateness of hand drawn application.

Each of these applies a Paint Synth preset (attached:cd_big_vect-PSP.zip) These are designed to be applied manually (I use a stylus on tablet with pressure and tilt modulation). Some generate a dramatic (animated) effect if applied continuously.

The presets draw very large, "live" shapes (actively throwing more with prolonged application). They are fun to apply. The act of application is gratifying. Having fun with application of marking a surface is seldom brought up as a feature of an art application. The resulting abstract shapes that result are interesting visually. They are visually a let down as final products - because making them was what was motivating me. the act of doodling more or less. No artistic statement intended.

If I were to "evangelize" any aspect of Studio Artist over other art applications - the fun-in-application factor would be number one on my list of features. Most art applications (and perhaps artists) have a focus on tools that conform to intent and a final output that fits some category of established art. The fun in doing (and frequently efficiency in doing) factor is low or non-existent on the typical art application feature list.

These presets may only function properly in the upcoming SA v5.5. Image size originally 1000x1000 or 3222x3222 px.
