Posted my #ptpx (penplotter postcard exchange) postcards today. 7 to USA, 4 to Germany, 1 to Sweden, 1 to Portugal. Hope they are received well.

Custom program for converting images to vector with flow field for the small penplotter: 8x8 cm #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #machinedrawing

Finding out the possibilities of DrawingBotV3 to convert photos to plottable vector drawings using the same input picture as the previous paintings #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #machinedrawing #axidraw

Three color overprint voronoi tessellation  #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Made a lot of adjustments under the hood of the paintplotter algorithm. Regarding the clarity of the picture and the color separations, this is the best one so far. #machinearts #painting #nodebox #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

After alle experiments with paintplotting a single picture, I think this one's the best in recognizability of the image. #machinearts #painting #nodebox #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Also was able to remove the canvas from its frame, paint it, and reattach it. #machinearts #painting #nodebox #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Tried a contrasting background color. Made the pattern a little denser. Not that even, because the canvas cardboard got warped because of the heat. Fixed the error in getting water. #machinearts #painting #nodebox #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Another paintplot exploration. Even smaller brush. Added a fourth color layer. #machinearts #painting #nodebox #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

More paintplot explorations. Smaller brush. Worked from dark to light this time #machinearts #painting #nodebox #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Returning to the paintplot explorations after penplotting pictures. Big brush blobs. Added return to water commands #machinearts #painting #nodebox #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Another entry for @bantamtools Machine Arts challenge: Plot the landscape. Added shading to my generative landscape program. Parker Quink blue black 0.3 Rotring penplot on a4. #plotthelandscape #machinearts #bantamtools #nodebox #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #axidraw

Second entry for #bantamtools Machine Arts challenge: Plot the landscape. Based on a picture taken at Møns Klint chalk cliffs in Denmark. #plotthelandscape #machinearts #nodebox #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Submission for #bantamtools Machine Arts challenge: Plot the landscape. Based on a picture from the lake in the little park in front of our house. #plotthelandscape #machinearts #nodebox #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

First application of Voronoi Diagram with AI generated script for custom node in Nodebox #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Second attemp at a circle packing node for Nodebox #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Timelapse of last weeks six color truchet tiles pen plot. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Reworked an older animation after developing a node for a seamless noise loop for animation in collaboration with #claude from @anthropic.com and John Cartan #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

It took about 2 years, but I was finally able to plot this rainbow truchet tile pen plot. With Staedtler triplus (almost) nailed the alignment #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Full page version of gradient Truchet tiles, with randomized end points. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Trying to make gradients of the Truchet tiles with a single ink color. Still some things to work out regarding ink flow, layering and end points #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Rounded the corners of the triangles. Made the fill pattern a bit denser. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

One for my expanding series 'this has probably been done before' I've changed the ink reservoir emptying program into triangles. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Trying to get different shades by layering the ink. Only works with quite smooth (bristol) paper. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Timelapse of A3 size blue-green three level truchet tile penplot #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

A3 size blue-green three level truchet tile penplot #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Made a program for emptying out the ink reservoirs. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing

Made a quick full a4 page version. Might do an a3 next. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing

After 7 failed attempts finally fixed the alignment of the rotring pens, thanks to the #axidraw knowledge base. Marking the orientation of the barrel did the trick. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing

Timelapse of previous penplot. #nodebox #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Different version. Used Staedtler triplus pens, lead to somewhat better alignment. 7x7 base grid, bit denser pattern. Improved the way borders are determined. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Continuation of a program of three color three level truchet tiles from a year ago. Fixed the colorization of the line pattern, borders and corners. #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw

Timelapse of three color three level truchet tiles. Alignment of yellow is a bit off. 0.8 rotring on daler rowney smooth a4 paper #nodebox #plottertwitter #penplotart #plotterart #penplotter #plotter #generative #genart #machinedrawing #axidraw
