Punk Art Challenge #1 Experiment - Dotty Spotty "Currency" Punks Inspired by Damien Hirst's "The Currency"

See the Punk Art Challenge #1 for more background and Part I - Spots Experiment and Part II - Spots Hi-Def Experiment in the series here.

Okkie. Welcome back. Let's try "random" background spots inspired by Damien Hirst's $40+ million "The Currency" art collection.

BACKGROUND_SPOTS = [
 # blue-ish
 '49355E', '16437A', '096598', '4B8BBB', '9CD9DE', 'C5A7C6',
 # red-ish
 'A5282C', 'D14C37', 'CF6A71', 'DD5E36', 'DDA315', 'F3A925',
 # green-ish
 '4C7031', '95A025', '66BA8C', '316D5F',
 # gray-ish /white-ish
 'C2B6AF', 'BFC0C5', '3BC8B5',
]

Change the currency spot colors to your liking. The background spots get selected randomly.

Let's give it a try using the more punks #10088, #10100, #10180 and #10190:

Let's try a 2x zoom with quadruple the pixels:

punk.zoom(2).spots( 5, spacing: 5,
                     center: [-1,1], radius: [3,6],
                     background: BACKGROUND_SPOTS )

Let's make the spots bigger with a radius between 2px and 8px and the offset more random -/+3px:

punk.zoom(2).spots( 5, spacing: 5,
                     center: [-3,3], radius: [2,8],
                     background: BACKGROUND_SPOTS )

Bonus - Free High-Definition (Hi-Def) XXXL Poster-Size Quality Edition

One more thing - let's go high definition (hi-def), yes, XXXL with poster-size quality thanks to vector graphics. Let's try:

punk.zoom(2).spots_hidef( 5, spacing: 5,
                     center: [-3,3], radius: [2,8],
                     background: BACKGROUND_SPOTS )

High-definition (hi-def) XXXL!? Yes, it's all text in the scalable vector graphics (svg) format. For example, open up punk-10088-currency-v2@2x.svg in your browser and zoom in 100%, 200%, 300%, .. and so on and yes, the quality stays hi-definition (hi-def)!

That's it for now to get you started.
