Neato Studio. Blocks

Part of Josh Pigford’s open-source Neato Studio suite (Vite, React, p5.js, canvas and GLSL post). Blocks explores composition through repeatable recipes, mondrian-like splits, structured grids, banded patterns, then layers print-inspired treatments such as CMYK separation and wobbled edges so flat geometry still feels tactile. One of eight generative mini-apps living under the same studio shell.
