Started with a sketch from a reference image, pen and brush tip marker on paper, and then #Midjourney using it's --cref function, and then #DrawingbotV3 for editing the line work and CMYK conversion. Then Magnific..
Plotting wireframe drawing of the 34-meter Antenna at Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near Barstow, California, part of the Deep Space Network on the Roland DPX-2000 #PenPlotter
CMY Tangled Squares, a work originally conceived April 2018 and been evolving and iterating ever since. The abstract works can be enjoyed far away as well as close up. Using only three primary ink colors, the movement and flows of the strokes endlessly flow across the page. Many see things is the swirls of line and color. What do you see?
I've been with a high fever, COVID related, during these past few days. I guess made some break through with my machine paintings. #penplotter#brushplotter#art#genart
Remember that sashiko stitching inspired design I did a few weeks ago? I finally tried plotting it. To me, it’s very reminiscent of chrysanthemum flowers. What do you see?
Plotted on a HP 7585B from 1983 on 11x15 watercolor paper.
Red hot Truchet tiles in vermillion, magenta, and red violet. Printed on a HP 7585B pen plotter from 1983 on 11x15 watercolor paper. A slight detour of my usual CMY palette 😀
I'm really enjoying my old #penplotter but I only have one roll of paper left. It's a weird 9" pinfeed roll ... does anyone out there in #retrocomputing land know where I could find more?
#PenPlotter maintenance today. My HP 7585B stopped responding over RS-232. Diagnostics revealed a problem with the interface card. Luckily I have a spare machine that can donate a new working card!
Today's lunchtime hack was the Hilbert curve on the #penplotter, which was fun to write (I needed an explicit stack because BASIC only has global variables). I really love the flickering lights. #retrocomputing
Had a draining week, mind was fried... Finally found two hours of flow Sunday evening! Used it to generate lots and lots of small rectangles. Loosely inspired by Aiyu's 'Memory Flow' on fx(hash).
Or is it Voyager's hull plating after a particularly rough patch in the Delta Quadrant?
Take two is a big improvement. I disabled all optimizations, so it draws the lines in a predictable order removing previous discontinuities. #penplotter#CreativeCoding#axidraw#openrndr
Updated my image-to-spiral code to a faster variant than the AM/FM waves I often use. This one has multiple spirals, with each having a varying degree of radial displacement based on brightness within the set so at white they all overlay and at black they spread to fill the space between loops of the spiral #PenPlotter#CreativeCoding
I spent the day drawing glyphs with code and finding rules for assembling accents and other diacritics. I think I'm going to scale back my project, a SVG font with a JS API, otherwise I won't be done by 2025.
