Having more fun with this composition of quads filled with Ben Day dots which is slow to plot because thereโ€™s so much pen up and down motion.

An abstract pen plot of squares of various sizes outlined with black rounded corners, sometimes dividing into smaller squares. Each square is filled with small dots of CMY color of varying size and density. From a distance, the dots form a different color but close up the dots can be seen clearly.

Doing some experiments with plotting and folding. Starting with some simple shapes, looking forward to working these into a larger scale.

I made a hatching shader in Godot !

It's a post processing effect based on a difference of gaussian to extract edges and hatch them accordingly.

Love the result, I'd like to use it with a pen plotter now !

And they're off! #ptpx postcards hit the post office today. A bit later than I wanted but nowhere near as bad as previous years. They are going naked, no envelope, so the postal service can add that last touch of randomness. #plotterart #penplotter

Postcards on a green desk surface.  The design is an abstract curved shape of linked red and black circles on a light, distressed blue grid, on white paper.  Four can be seen in their entirety and there is a stack of additional ones at the top of the picture.
