and generate unlimited abstract.
The idea is simple.
You can donate one single brush stroke at a time. It gets saved to database.
Then the generate surprise art just takes random strokes from the pool and paints them randomly.

I spent a little too much time on this today.

There's option to painted donated strokes with random colors or one color.

Added option to fade stroke from solid color to a set percentage of transparency.

And then I was able to generate the below pattern which I am using on a mock-up shirt shown below:

Pretty cool! I saw this idea once for a Johny Cash tribute on youtube. Instead of paint strokes you donated a picture and the whole thing got animated.
Pretty neat idea. :)

Later version has option to taper off strokes to a percentage of original brush width.
And painting tone difference so it looks like some sort of painted stroke.

Added stroke credits section on the generate art page so that it lists for example
tim - 1 stroke
anonymous - 99 strokes
so people can see which or whose strokes were used in current piece.
