Not really recent work, but after seeing Bluejam's post about the old artwork "Return To Square" by Masao Kohmura Kunio Yamanaka from 1967, I was curious if we could reproduce something like that using just the Blend tool in Ai...

(the original artwork was "programmed in Fortran IV on IBM 7090 and drawn on Calcomp 563 plotter" as per this page: https://spalterdigital.com/artwo… )
So it's rather trivial to produce something like that today - took me minutes - but back then this kind of "digital art" would've been very wow indeed, not to mention complicated to produce - we've come a long way baby!
Anyway, great find @Bluejam thanks!
- For some strange reason, the square in the middle, needs to be rotated twice clockwise to get a clean blend (after using the blend tool)grafician
- And also there are 2 blends in there: first from the big square to the silhouette, then copy the silhouette and blend it to the middle small square.grafician
- Fun little exerciseduckseason
- Now I wonder if whoever implemented the Blend tool in Ai knew about Masao's art?grafician

- @Nairn Dope!
Can you try to lasercut this one too? Ik it's much more complex, but the results could be awesome?grafician
