Abstract
We introduce photogrowth, an evolutionary approach to the production of non-photorealistic renderings of images. The painting algorithm - inspired by ant colony approaches - is described and explained, giving emphasis to its novel aspects: the evolution of the sensory parameters of the ants; the production of resolution independent images; the rendering lines of variable width. The experimental results highlight the range of imagery that can be evolved by the system and show the potential of the approach for the production of large-format artworks.
