This work comes from a sketch I draw with many clouds of random shapes.

Doing some tests with the great and powerful paperjs library (http://paperjs.org/), I saw that you can actually generate interesting shapes using a path that randomly picks up points evenly distributed around a circle, that is the vertices of a regular polygon.

Here the shape randomly picks up the vertices of 9 different polygons: square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, enneagon, decagon, hendecagon and dodecagon (4 to 12 vertices).

• 'p' to download a png
• 'a' to add / remove the path and the points used to create the shape.
