October ' 25 print set. Took some arcs, took some curves, and pushed and pulled them into these flowing calligraphic shapes. I love the Uniball UM-153's and get enough tones out of my go-to red, blue, gold, and black that I doubt I'll ever get tired of them. #penplotter #printsky #printmaking

If you mention pencils to most pen plotters they'd be happy to push you out of a moving car at high speed. The way the point degrades through a plot make it a media that I really enjoy working with. 8"x10" Blackwing pencil plots on Bristol #printsky #penplotter #nextdraw #pencildrawing

Becoming a free Patreon member is my version of a newsletter and gives you access to my process blog posts. A little behind in my posting but this April '25 set was a fun one. #penplotter #printmaking #printsky www.patreon.com/posts/138091...

I'm not a fan of self promoting but I often get asked if I have an online store and now I can finally answer yes, yes I do. Started off with some recent 11"x15" prints but more coming soon. If there's something of mine you particularly like, let me know, thanks! jcammarata.myshopify.com

I rewatched The Acolyte, the writing isn't the best and that Bazil character still makes zero sense to me but I still think that there was potential and it deserved another season. #starwars #theacolyte

September '25 Print Set Patreon subscription link in bio. I use the red, blue, and black Uniball Signo UM-153 pens a lot. They are the only colors I can find refills for, which saves me from tossing the plastic shells. The 1.0mm tip really packs the ink in. #printmaking #penplotter #pruntsky

25.0826.03 Giving the truchet thing a break after this. 11"x15" @uniballco UM-153 pens on watercolor #penplotter #printmaking #printsky

Time lapse of recent 25.0816.01 print. 1 hour plot at 120X speed. 11"x15" Uniball UM-153 red, blue, and black gel pens on watercolor paper #penplotter #printmaking #printsky #nextdraw #penplotart #abstractart

2509.06.03 Another 11"x15" print packed with red, blue, and black Uniball Signo UM-153 ink. #penplotter #pendrawing #printmaking #printsky

August '25 print set This month I grounded myself with a simple graphic dash pattern that evolves through the print set as scale changes and layers get added. Uniball Signo .38 pens and paint on 5"x7" Arches watercolor #penplotter #printsky #printmaking #gelpens

July '25 print set All prints plotted from the same source file with 4 layers of overlapping lines. One made with pens, one with brushes, and one mix. Stacking some paper underneath let the marks just skirt over the paper, yielding unpredictable results. #printsky #printmaking #penplotter

2507.03b 5"x7" Acrylic on Arches watercolor #penplotter #printsky #printmaking #abstract

21 very different prints made with the same pens, plotted from the same file. I stacked a few pieces of paper under the prints and varied the pen heights to build up these random layers. #printsky #penplotter #printmaking #moire

Taking a break from all that's going on to share this month's print set. I worked with a much lighter weight paper than usual which put limits on how thick you could apply the pen ink. Still lots of layers and the gesso pulls up layers from the bottom. #penplotter #printmaking #printsky #abstract

For me a print can be made from any repeatable mark making process. In addition to pen plotting my prints usually include manual media application techniques like stencils. #printsky #penplotting #printmaking #stencil

Recent attempt at scaling up a smaller print to 18"x24". Not too excited with it but it has some nice moments. Gel pens and acrylic paint on Arches paper #penplotter #printsky #pendrawing #printmaking

I found The Critter Fixers on NatGeo (Disney+) and I can't get enough. After a week I'm already on Season 3 and getting sad because there are only 5 seasons available.

The Pen Plotter List has grown quite a bit since I made it a few months ago. If you know of anyone I don't have on there please send my way!

May '25 Print Set It's been a month of experimenting with the pen/paint/pen pattern. With these smaller prints you have to limit yourself to a few marks, putting an emphasis on restraint and editing. Gel pens/Paint on 5"x7" watercolor paper #penplotter #printmaking #printsky

On this day 50 years ago, Lella Lombardi scored half a point to become the only female driver to date to finish in the points. #F1

I finally have a working pipeline for drawing complex 3D animations using my pen plotter! Now I just need some worth while creative ideas haha #Animation #IndieAnimation

It's a process getting to the final prints each month. Some sets are a breeze, some are a battle but it always gets there. Having had my Patreon for over 5 years this rhythm of prepping, producing, and mailing out prints has been integral to my workflow. #penplotter #printmaking #printsky

Did I just hear a Land of the Loops track in a Meta commercial? That makes me sad.

Is it just me or is IG just all AI ads now? The downward spiral continues....

Packing this edition up and sending to the UK, would you buy this album if this was the cover? Really happy with how they came out, each print has some nice subtle differences. Now to pick one to keep. Pilot G2 gel pens on 12-3/8" square Arches paper #penplotter #printmaking #albumart #printsky

Caturday print inspection

Today's installment of "Same File, Same Pens, Same Paper, but .." Building up these tones with 8 different pen inks means the slightest shift of .01" can impact the final result. I personally usually like how it gives each print individual qualities. #penplotter #printmaking #printsky

These circle quadrants are samples for a larger piece but I like them on their own. One of them didn't make the cut. Pilot G2 gel pens on 10-1/8" x 12-3/8" Arches #penplotter #printmaking #printsky #gelpens

@alliepaigeart.bsky.social print received. I love it but @lexi974.bsky.social may not since this is her daily view at 6 AM whether she like it or not

Dear Food Network, I need to know where these came from please.

Hamilton passing Hadjar was the only change in the top 10 from start. Absolute snooze fest. 2/10 race. #japanesegp #f1

Best part of the #japanesegp so far

Had an extra sheet of Arches so ran this alternate color scheme from last month's print set. Love some of the tones in that middle section. #penplotter #printsky #printmaking #abstractart #minimalism

April '25 print set. If interested, sign up on my Patreon (link in bio), be 'active' on 4/1, and you'll get your print. Cancel right after, I don't mind, happy to have you. $5, $10, or $20 tier gets you the S, M, or L print. Larger prints will ship folded. #printsky #penplotter #printmaking

I've been binging old episodes of #MythBusters. Today I came to this episode with Obama who talks about the importance of engaging America's youth with math and science. It pains me how far backwards this country's priorities have gotten.

Same pens, same paper, same files, same everything, and sometimes the ink just doesn't want to play nice. Certain colors are definitely more problematic (Hunter Green). This is where I have to decide if a print can be saved or if it joins the scrap postcard pile. #printsky #penplotter #printmaking

Not going to lie, I loved PPG. I'm amazed my wife and I didn't go for a third daughter so I could close it out.

WTF happened to March? Already time to start production on the April prints. Sticking with this long format again. Pilot G2 gel pens and acrylic paint on 7"x15" Arches paper. #penplotter #printsky #printmaking

Putting down the last of 8 ink layers on this album cover commission study. Might just be the final I like it so much. Pilot G2 pens on 12-3/8" square Arches paper. #penplotter #printmaking #albumart #nextdraw

My youngest joined me at the Colma, CA Tesla today #teslatakedown

Double Caturday nap

I'm way behind but I do a Patreon blog write up on each of my monthly print sets. Here are some quick notes on this fun set from back in December '24 (I told you I was behind). Give it a look if process interests you. #penplotter #printmaking #creativeprocess www.patreon.com/posts/decemb...
