Nobody thus far in the comments seems to have understood that that app you linked on github gives the coordinates to place the strings.

I did.

So you got that going for ya, which is nice,

Edit: Above linked app is like Lego instructions for inputting a picture and it creates the points and lines map for you. Paint by numbers .exe.

>This tool generates string art from any picture of your choice. Pegs are first placed on the frame, and then a single-color thread is repeatedly ran from peg to peg in a straight line. The stacked segments progressively recreate the original image. This process was popularized by Petros Vrellis.

>The monochrome mode uses a single thread, while the color mode uses 3 distinct threads. The result can be exported in the SVG format.

I like it too, and no one said it was porn. It just kinda makes my eyes roll when the amount of attention a piece gets is multiplied tenfold simply because it has a naked woman in it. Kinda like how if you post a picture of you next to your artwork, it'll get more upvotes than if you just posted the artwork. You can make the argument that seeing the artist next to the art helps us connect to it more, but really, this is Reddit, we're all socially inept gremlins that can't make human connections to save our lives. We like tits, tits = upvotes, even in the highly sophisticated subreddit that is /r/art.
