Continuing down my current road of playing with spirals led to this plot. It's generated using the same spiral code as my others, just with a few values tweaked within the trigonometric functions used to calculate the position of each point. Each point in the spiral gets a little extra multiplier value as the number of rotations increases.

With a little Perlin noise and a twist of the paper, this could start to resemble @revdancatt’s distinctive spiral plots, so I’ll probably pause this line of experimentation for now. If you like this, go buy one of his Ghosts!
