Welcome! My name is Alexandre Villares and since January, 2018 I have been coding sketches everyday, publishing the source code in the same repository that stores this page, github.com/villares/sketch-a-day.

The results here are mostly tentative, exploratory, and I don’t feel like they need to be relevant or meaningful on any particular day. The everyday practice leads to the emergence of ideas that I consider interesting, worthy of further exploration. Some of those have been added to selected work, this collection itself became valuable for me, and it is my pleasure to share it with anyone willing to explore coding as a creative and expressive medium.

You can follow me on Mastodon @villares@ciberlandia.pt or at @villares@pynews.com.br, where I post most of my daily sketches. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding licenses to use my work, teaching opportunities, consulting or other projects.

If you appreciate what I have been doing, you may also support my artistic work, research and open educational resources I publish on-line using the Brazilan PIX key at 46c37783-5edb-4f1c-b3a8-1309db11488c, PayPal or gumroad.com/villares, where you can subscribe to my [sketch-mail] newsletter.
