Beyond Horses: The Surprising Art Hidden on gradient.horse
What else do people draw on gradient.horse?
Since launching gradient.horse in January 2026, over 600,000 drawings have been created, outnumbering wild horses. While my image model filters out vandalism, it also hides ingenious creations like skateboards, snails, and philosophical texts. By activating the SHOW NON-HORSES setting, users can discover a vibrant collection of unexpected art that goes far beyond simple equine sketches.
There are now more horses on gradient.horse than in the wild.

One of the horses on a ball is very recognizably a James Baxter[1]!

A big thank you to the moderators for giving this link a second chance!
I'm just now am doing a write-up on how different online communities draw horses differently - and on the amount of penises they draw. Some very visible differences there.
I also want to share that I'm looking for work. Doing (web)art is fun, but I noticed that I like good food too. If you ever wanted to work with a creative coder, need research into new ways of interaction design or just need some good old UX/UI please do reach out!

My Pegasus and my Space Invader weren't selected :(
Anyway, I remember a very good Godzilla and a moonwalking Michael Jackson. I think the post need an additional row for weird.
