I love art like this, but does it require any special skill? Color data for each bubble can be generated using a python script. Palette can also be generated computationally. I am not diminishing the artists work or effort, but in the future, will art be prized for skill and novelty? Or will it be dismissed as "anyone can do that" ?

To add a few spicy observations:
- I'm often unsympathetic to complains of low pay by artists (or people complaining on their behalf). It's well know art comes with a high risk of low pay, it's a difficult endeavour - any adult should know this going in.
- not to say that investment in arts isn't low - it's a different thing. But it's also the same thing: the idea of investment is upfront capital today, payday later, to get over that "initial hump" of high overhead art. If there is no later payoff proportionate to upfront costs, it's logical that something is underfunded.

I get why someone would do this. It's much easier for people to notice and appreciate what's going by incorporating a reference image that's widely familiar, and without his work would be much more likely to be overlooked. But still.

Is sculpting art? All it takes is pushing clay around.

#17Good News Network in general has content that elicits good feelings. Not such good news and good feeling are the 11 trackers on the page. But I guess they also have to earn a living.

Writing python code to do that is a special skill. It just seems like it isn't because that's the bread and butter for a large part of the HN readership. Is sculpting art? All it takes is pushing clay around.
I wouldn't be surprised if, in the future, sculptures will also be CNC machine assisted.
It is possible, now , to use a CNC machine to rough cut sculptures and then fine cut them with hand.

Writing algorithms for pixellating images to required granularity is a specialized skill. However, using a library that does that, is a much more common skill.
