I am revisiting my original database of digitized creatures (frog, goose, elephant, and fat cat) that I used in my plotter drawing programs in the 1970s. My new program, Creature Spirals, is essentially half of my original plotter work called Coming and Going (1975). The program randomly selects a creature and then makes its iterations follow the path of two contiguous spiral paths. The creature and its copies are manipulated to be tangent to the curves, starting from one origin of one of the curves, scaling up as they traverse the curve, crossing over to the other curve, and scaling down as they recede back to their origin.

To add a little interest, I randomly flip the creatures' direction. This new incarnation of a classic idea is a visually striking and engaging way to represent these familiar creatures.
