As the new year begins, you will find a new look to revad.com, where I now show a grid of SELECTED FIDGETS. The FIDGET metaphor continues to be the single best descriptor of my practice. I can’t help myself and (if I am honest with myself) I don’t want to.
As usual, the many online spaces (I use to share my outcomes) are all linked at revad.com. But, here is a snapshot of the current crop:
Some are more active than others. Note, I no longer use any POD sites to exhibit. The only way to invest in an outcome is to agree a commission. Be aware, I only agree a commission if the project will further my practice. I am not in this to make money. Art is not a living.
Going forward, my main digital production environment consists of a desktop PC, a laptop (shown here) and a handful of Raspberry Pi modules. All are running Linux. The desk top and laptop are running Linux Mint 21.1 Vera Cinnamon and the Pi modules Raspberry Pi OS, all of which have Debian as a base. This gives a certain consistency and familiarity across these diverse hardware platforms.
In addition, I do use the Apple ecosystem of iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air, occasionally for production, mainly for consumption. This allows me to see my online virtual outcomes as others might. An audience eye view, you could say.
Primary software: The GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Krita, Procreate, Processing, IDLE (Python) and Sublime Text.
Secondary software: Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher.
I spend the majority of time with The GIMP, Processing, Sublime Text, and Procreate.
So, there we have it. I will be going forward from here.

. . . and indicative of how I see things right now.
I have stopped selling open edition prints of my outcomes.
Therefore, my print gallery is now permanently closed.
All links are being removed, where possible.
Here are my current active social media accounts.
twitter = https://twitter.com/codedimages
instagram = https://instagram.com/codedimages
facebook = https://facebook.com/codedimages
MeWe = https://mewe.com/i/codedimages
blog = https://cddmgs.wordpress.com/
In order of most active first. Although, Twitter and Instagram are probably equal. I am keen to increase my MeWe activity, if the number of connections grow and make it worthwhile.
Due to glacial level inactivity, I have closed my THINGSbyREVAD shop.

Apologies for the obfuscation. My attempt to thwart the spammer bots. You will need to type it in manually, while making the obvious adjustments.
I have updated my virtual space map. See:
https://cddmgs.wordpress.com/2021/12/26/virtual-space-map/
(Apart from my XYZ animations) I have decided to stop hosting my pages myself. Consequently, revad.com now forwards to this WordPress archive, and codedimages.com forwards to my pixels print archive.
Additional links, to these spaces, can now be found on the home page of this WordPress site. This should make navigation easier.

I have rather neglected this space, since April. Much artwork has been made in that time. I have set myself the task of bringing this space up to date by the end of 2021. So, if you are interested, please keep an eye on progress.
NOTE. I have changed the site URL to:
This plugs the site into my use of the handles: revad, codedimages and revadcodedimages on social media and other relevant virtual spaces. Maybe, I should place a map of those spaces on here?! Another task gets added to the list.
My print shop at REVAD.PIXELS.COM has been pruned back to a small selection of prints from current projects. A review suggested it is not a viable space to act as a print archive. Too much investment in time required to keep it current. This is how the shop front looks today.
Behind the shop front, you will find four public collections. The number of available prints has dropped, from a peak of 700+, to around 20. As ever, if you see anything of mine anywhere and would like a print, get in touch via the contact page at REVAD.COM.
Working and walking under the influence of the virus. The first week in lockdown.
This month has seen more outcomes from my generative code enquiry. These outcomes have manifested themselves as social media posts on Instagram, a selection of large format prints at codedimages.pixels.com, and as kinetic virtual installations at xyz.codedimages.com. I derived a MONOCHROME SPIRAL STREAM from the RADICAL SPIRAL STREAM. I started to explore a SQUARE SPIRAL STREAM, but there is much more to do in that direction. All the time, with the first signs of Spring, I have been encouraged to think ahead to how I might use the analogue studio this year. As is usual for me, I started out by looking back to what has been achieved in previous years, and specifically what happened last year. I am planning and looking forward to what might be achieved on the studio TRANSIENT INSTALLATION WALL in 2019.
This month’s photo montage hints at this mix of looking back and looking forward.
