Stroke algorithms
PG-Series · Original acrylics, painted to order
Real paint.
Not a print.
That poster above your sofa is one of fifty thousand. This isn't. Pick one of 21 stroke algorithms, set your parameters, and a painting machine lays every stroke in museum-grade heavy-body acrylic on stretched cotton — ridges you can feel, gloss that moves with the light, an edition of one that is never painted again. Priced like the print it replaces.

How the factory works
PG.01
STEP 01
Generate
A seeded algorithm plots every stroke — position, pressure, pigment load. Same seed, same painting. New seed, never seen before.
PG.02
STEP 02
Paint
Our Metal engine simulates the wet-on-wet physics; the machine executes it stroke for stroke in heavy-body acrylic. Real ridges. Real gloss. Catches the light from across the room the way flat ink never has.
PG.03
STEP 03
Ship
Numbered, boxed, and out the door in 5–7 days. Stretched cotton canvas, ready to hang. Live with it, and if it ever bores you it was still the only one.
Where we stand
We're not competing with painters.
We're competing with the poster aisle.
Nothing here replaces a person with a brush, and nothing here wants to. If you can buy from a painter, buy from a painter — we do. But most walls don't get that choice. They get a mass-produced print, forty thousand identical copies of it, flat ink under glass. That's the thing we're trying to beat.
Paintergeist began as a Metal-based acrylic simulator obsessed with how paint actually moves: pigment load, bristle drag, wet-on-wet pull. Then we bolted it to a machine, so a real painting could cost about what the print costs. Every piece is plotted from a seed, painted once in real acrylic, and never repeated. Every wall deserves at least one thing that was actually painted.
