Vine AI graphics.

I'm having a go at AI and i'm trying to do a procedural vine with branches. However, I'm unsure how I would draw this vine.

Should I:
a. Pixels on imageData. Enlarge for that retro feel.
b. Tiling images creatively. Utilize the spritebatch.
c. Cubic splines with matching first derivatives. And then fill them. Numerical methods! :3
d. Crude polygons. BLOCKS! Or maybe a ton of circles. Spritebatch.
e. other

Oh, and removing love.graphics.clear() is out. Doesn't work on all machines uniformly. And I'm leaning towards option C. I just might need a little help (probably a lot) on it.
