Harbor Scene (after John Henry Twachtman)

Incomplete Control

 is a photo-realistic generative study of a brick wall in Austin, Texas.

The generative approach to photorealism can be quite different from one with paint or pencils. The computer naturally omits irregularities, so Hobbs must work harder to introduce patterns and "errors" back into the composition and textures. What at first appears to be a simple grid, is upon closer inspection, a celebration of imperfections and deviations from the norm.
