Fauxtoshop CC: haven't you always thought that photoshop was missing a "rainbow penis" tool?
a student-made painting app in the tradition of Kid Pix: one that embraces chaos, randomness and amateurism instead of pixel perfection. All brushes in this app were created by students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the 'New Media Crash Course', Spring 2016 (don't worry, not really NSFW)

I teach a class about programming and new media art at the School of The Art Institute of Chicago. After a basic javascript programming lesson (with the fantastic p5.js library), I asked the students to create "brushes" for a painting app, and encouraged to incorporate ideas of imperfection, randomness, and indeterminacy (after, of course, looking at precedents like "Kid Pix(yt)", the little-known spiritual sequel "Beautiful Dorena", John Cage musical scores, generative drawings, etc, etc)... I threw all the brushes together into this little drawing app. I think it turned out pretty fun! Let me know what you think! Post some screenshots!
