Pen plotter symphony #plottertwitter
Box fitting, filling, time lapse #plottertwitter
Box fitting, white gel pen on black paper. I need to find a better way to pause/resume plots #plottertwitter 
Recreating a LeWitt work of consecutive lines, Sharpie on paper #plottertwitter 
More LeWitt inspired designs: lines, circle, square #plottertwitter 
Cumulative error #plottertwitter 
Cumulative error circle, gold gel pen on black paper #plottertwitter 
Circle packing time lapse #plottertwitter
Line segments in a circle, silver metallic ink on red paper. The ink changes with the light and viewing angle. #plottertwitter 
There was a bug in my code, but I thought it produced some interesting results. 
Golden record #plottertwitter time lapse
Golden record #plottertwitter 
Box in circle fitting time lapse #plottertwitter
Rings of shaded squares #plottertwitter 
More rings of shaded squares, inverse #plottertwitter 
And some rings of alternating shaded circles, gold on red #plottertwitter 
More circular growth #plottertwitter 
More growing circles #plottertwitter
Fewer paths this time, .4mm stroke #plottertwitter 
Plotting on punch cards-- why not? Nees' "Schotter" #plottertwitter 
My interpretation of "Midas" by Nees, in gold metallic, of course #plottertwitter 
Packed rectangles, half shaded, four shades, silver metallic pen. Been struggling w these 2 algorithms for months-- solved! #plottertwitter 
Harmonograph plotted in sand-- a "sandgraph"? #plottertwitter 
Harmonograph sand plot video #plottertwitter
Zentangle plot in sand #plottertwitter 
Say hi to my new old plotter. Graphtec MP2300 XY being put through the paces. Schotter on A3 is my go-to "hello world" 👋🏻 #plottertwitter 
Shading out of bounds #plottertwitter 
Here's a t-shirt with the "out of bounds" design on it in white for dark shirts. redbubble.com/people/runstop… 
Overcame a personal #plottertwitter hurdle yesterday-- added ability to render text and change pens/color! Colorized "out of bounds" 
Pen change video of Graphtec MP2300 #plottertwitter
Isometric lines plots quit nicely I think. #plottertwitter 
Fractured #plottertwitter 
More lines at 45 degrees. Reminds me of Art Deco somewhat. #plottertwitter 
A little bit taller now, gold on black #plottertwitter 
More city planning, rectangluar bounds. Silver on black with detail. #plottertwitter 
Almost two weeks since I #plottertwitter so here's some drifting squares on my Graphtec MP2300 
Was inspired by @DrImmySmith's pen drawing and made this #plottertwitter of line segments bound by a circle on a Graphtec MP2300. 
Make all the things into a decaying grid #plottertwitter 
And again, two by two (with automatic date and signature) #plottertwitter 
Saturday morning doodles #plottertwitter 
Some more #plottertwitter doodling 
Inspired by @FozzTexx cutting floppy stickers, how about plotting directly on a floppy with a Sharpie? #plotertwitter
And the finished floppy disk #plottertwitter 
Let's keep this going. "Out of bounds" plotted with a Sharpie on a floppy disk. #plottertwitter
And done. I like this design plotted on a floppy-- I think they go well together. #plottertwitter 
Another plotted floppy. The geometry of the disk is hard to work around. Can you still see it? 😉 
Can't stop won't stop #plottertwitter on a 5.25" floppy 
The Gosper curve is always a #plottertwitter favorite of mine.
The finished Gosper curve, 24”x24”. TIL also called a “flowsnake” #plottertwitter 
Circle packing, 24”x24” #plottertwitter 
Trying something different. Typography in the round. Bonus points if you recognize the font! #plottertwitter 
Typography in the round: 2 hours and 27,864 pen strokes later, it’s finished. Pen had some issues, but I like it. #plottertwitter 
How about a slice of pi to 7371 decimal places? 24”x24” #plottertwitter 
Weaving curves, a 11”x17” silver gel ink #plottertwitter thing, inspired by @josephgentle and @rubot 
Human anatomy illustration, 18”x24” #plottertwitter 
More interpretations of vintage human anatomy illustrations 18”x24” on HP DraftPrp DXL #plottertwitter 
More Heck anatomy illustrations 24”x30”. This one took several hours to generate + optimize and 1.5 hours to #plottertwitter. 
Deer in headlights 24”x24” #plottertwitter 
Plotting a giant 24”x36” Kolomyjec’s Random Squares and having ink level anxiety 😬 #plottertwitter #inktober
Visualizing Perlin noise, gold on black #plottertwitter 
“Gaze,” photo to #plottertwitter, white gel pen on black paper, this took a couple of hours to plot. 
Man on the moon, image to circles #plottertwitter 
Brooklyn Bridge, image to squares, 11”x17”, 1h31m #plottertwitter Original img: loc.gov/pictures/item/… 
Brooklyn Bridge #plottertwitter #timelapse 17,850 squares, 1h31m on a Roland DXY-1150
ASCII Brooklyn Bridge. Modifying the code slightly creates ASCII art suitable for #plottertwitter 
#10print at 90 degrees + offset, looks like textile. Also, green ink is an excellent stand in for black on orange paper! #plottertwitter 
Another #10print variation, 6 possible conditions (two diagonals and four sides of the square) #plottertwitter 
Unisphere, 34000 paths, 18”x24”, about 1.5 hours to #plottertwitter 
Revisiting the fracture algorithm with different constraints and path optimized #plottertwitter 
Same algorithm, different constraints yields something like abstract beach grass #plottertwitter 
Do these remind you of Jupiter? #plottertwitter 
Removing the circular bounds makes it more abstract. What do you see? #plottertwitter 
ABP: Always Be Plottin’ #plottertwitter
Holiday ornaments? #plottertwitter 
Snowflakes #plottertwitter 
Horizontal slot scan, Brooklyn Bridge 12”x18” #plottertwitter 
Mona Lisa + Kolomyjec’s Random Squares weighted through image data, 35x54 squares on 24”x36” watercolor paper #plottertwitter 
Plotting a large grid of square spirals #plottertwitter
Grid of spiral squares, 24”x36” watercolor paper #plottertwitter 
Chords of a circle #plottertwitter 
Numbers 0 through 255 represented as 8 bit lines of a square #plottertwitter 
Line segments of a cube as a gradient from top-down #plottertwitter 
A grid of primitives #plottertwitter 
Harmonograph, clone/rotate in an ellipse #plottertwitter 
Grid of scribbles #plottertwitter 
Revisiting some old methods to #plottertwitter larger. This is fracture at 45 degrees on 18”x24” watercolor paper.
