Started with a sketch from a reference image, pen and brush tip marker on paper, and then using it's --cref function, and then for editing the line work and CMYK conversion. Then Magnific..

I was really happy to create this #penplotter #plotterart for Dan’s event - both pieces made using all eight pen slots available on a vintage Roland DXY-1100, with DrawingBotV3 and chiplotle3 https://fosstodon.org/@danjenkins/112564348809559879

I used Plotter.vision by Trammell Hudson @th to do the conversion of an STL model to SVG: https://plotter.vision/

The STL model came from NASA: https://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/jpl-vtad-dsn34

More Truchet tiles, this time on a grid. These are so endlessly fun to iterate with.

What if Truchet tiles but two narrow columns? Wonder no more! 😄

Detail from a pen plot of overlapping concentric arcs and circles in two tall narrow columns in various shades of CMYK color. All sides have thread like strands of random length. The detail focuses on a portion of one column showing detail in the pen strokes.

Truchet tiles but make it three thin horizontal rows. This strongly reminds me of the SF Muni logo.

Detail of a pen plot of concentric overlapping arcs in three groups. The lines of the arcs extend off in all four directions of random lengths. The arcs are drawn in cyan, yellow, and magenta inks and overlap to create multiple colors. This detail shot shows one grouping close up showing the individual pen strokes clearly.

Oops, all Truchet tiles! This one reminds me of a large intricate tapestry or rug. What do you see?

Detail from a pen plot of Truchet tiles of overlapping, concentric arcs in a large portrait orientation grouping, swirling around the page in primary CMYK inks but mixing to create secondary colors. The detail focuses on a middle showing the individual pen strokes of the arcs in a multitude of colors.

It turns out calculating a 3D Voronoi tessellation is very straightforward with the Voro++ tool! The only downside is I need to run it "offline," from the command line. The temptation to create a WASM port is very real...

Thinking inside the box (cube). Another line density experiment with the #PenPlotter.

(The moiré is entirely unintended; it goes away if you zoom in or out a little.)

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?

CMY, 11x15 watercolor, HP 7585B.

Detail from an abstract pen plot of hatched overlapping squares, some partially, some fully, some loosely, some tightly. The primary colors yellow, cyan, and magenta mix to form a multitude of colors from the rainbow. This detail shows a densely hatched area of deep color.

This variation is called CMY Tangled Quads from Nov 2021. It adds variable sized squares as well as the inverted circle overlays.

11x15 watercolor paper and archival inks using a HP 7585B vintage plotter and code.

Detail from an abstract pen plot of randomly sized squares filled with random hatch marks in cyan, yellow, and magenta. The lines wander and meander about the page, overlapping others to create color lines. This detail focuses on the lower left of the intersecting circle there’s a lot of yellow and magenta strokes here.
