Generative art, Pen plotters, and structured chaos

@paulrickards Is this ever a problem for long and complex plots or not really?

[Stokeastic @stokeastic]

@paulrickards This is super cool. How does it prevent accumulation of positional drift?

[Stokeastic @stokeastic]

@nervous_jessica I prefer the balance in 3 as well.

First pass abstract rasterization attempt for a 10-color plot with watercolor brush pens attempting to approximate the cmocean “deep” palette. #plottertwitter #axidraw #generativeArt

@nervous_jessica Dither a bunch of vertical strokes?

[Stokeastic @stokeastic]

@Bleeptrack They’re called “pork and beans” or Sedum rubrotinctum. They grow like a champ but need bright sun to stay red

@cba Rad!

@paulrickards Almost a laptop

@nervous_jessica Top one looks like an axonal arbor, bottom more like vasculature. I like them both!

[Stokeastic @stokeastic]

@mxsage Can you explain what’s going on here?

[Stokeastic @stokeastic]

@kazper Multiple forward/backward passes and not too hot or humid. Don’t touch the paper with your fingers as fingerprints can prevent white ink from sticking. Even then a print might take 2-3 attempts.

@inconvergent This took me a lot longer than an hour...

[Stokeastic @stokeastic]

@mattdesl Instagram create awful aliasing artifacts on many of my plotter prints or images with repetitive structure.

[Stokeastic @stokeastic]

@ShornOne Got it, the plots look sweet though!

[Stokeastic @stokeastic]

Finally decided to test out stipplegen with the #axidraw

[Stokeastic @stokeastic]

@ShornOne Have you blown a servo before? I’ve done many prints involving thousands of lifts without any issue?
