Any hints on where to start?

  Start with something that looks a bit like something you might want to make into art. One of the standard fractals, Perlin noise with a fixed seed, anything that's got a bit of randomness to it. Look for a section that's inspiring. Then look to see if you can tweak the logic to make that closer to what you want it to be.

  Depends what interests you, but some suggestions: - Google "generative art". You'll find lots of images and you can usually work out roughly how they were made. Try to reverse engineer them and create your own facsimile. - Check out links here http://blog.hvidtfeldts.net/index.php/generative-art-links/ http://blog.hvidtfeldts.net/index.php/generative-art-links/ - Manning have a book here: https://www.manning.com/books/generative-art https://www.manning.com/books/generative-art - GRATUITOUS SELF PROMOTION ALERT! I'm working on book which is part functional programming (in Scala) and part generative art.
