Racine Pilote

Racine Pilote

The artist who learned to code. Web developer and web architect on Montreal’s South Shore.

The painting is being painted right now. Scroll down and it will get digitized.

Every website starts as a canvas.

I spent years in the visual arts before writing my first line of code. Graphic design, photography, sculpture, painting. I never stopped painting. I changed brushes.

The paint is still wet. Move your mouse over it.

The paint is still wet. Drag your finger across it.

The same painting, in code.

Behind you, the canvas has turned into pixels and characters. Hover a line: the part of the painting it describes turns back into paint.

painting.js
  1. // painting.js: same canvas, new medium
  2. const canvas = new Canvas(1600, 1000, { linen: true });
  3. canvas.sky({ from: '#1f3354', to: '#f3c58c' });

Racine Pilote, web developer on Montreal’s South Shore

Hi, I’m Racine.

Dad of two. I live on Montreal’s South Shore. When I’m not coding, I cook, bike and play chess. I read a lot of psychology and philosophy.

The person building your website is an artist who learned to code. It shows in the result.

And the code turns back into a canvas.

That’s what I do at Radiko for small businesses in Quebec’s Montérégie region. A site designed like a painting, built like software. No monthly hosting fees and a real person on the line. The site is in French.
