Vinnie Hager - "Diary"

Assisted Baltimore-based artist Vinnie Hager, celebrated for his unmistakable bold lines, shapes, and patterns, with his groundbreaking art project titled ‘Diary‘. For "Diary" by Vinnie Hager, I played a pivotal role in transforming a decade of Vinnie Hager’s artistic journey into a generative collection of digital art. Beginning with 100 foundational physical drawings that Vinnie had archived over the years, I devised and implemented scripts that programmatically breathed new life into these artworks. By segmenting the drawings into 12 distinct visual categories, I developed algorithms to overlay these with a diverse range of color palettes. My code smartly detected the white layers within the artwork and replaced them with selected colors, creating pseudo-randomized digital variants of each piece. These unique, algorithmically-generated artworks were then made available as NFTs on OpenSea's partner platform, offering art aficionados a digital piece that also promises a corresponding physical artwork in the future. Through my technical expertise, I bridged traditional artistry with the burgeoning world of NFTs, showcasing Vinnie's legacy in an innovative light.
