There’s a railroad in Marfa that runs through town, so naturally, my plots had to have one too. #plottertwitter

Happy to share that my free course, Painting With Plotters, is almost here! It's scheduled to launch on December 15th. More info will be available on the course website and through my newsletter soon! 1/3

This tool makes you draw directly on paper with a plotter (AxiDraw here) and js code, revealing the drawing as it goes. Fun when you use random numbers ! It can also work remotely on the web. I’ve called it "Live plotting” 🤖🖊️

#CreativeCoding educators, if you're seeking an easy way to bring @p5xjs into the physical world, p5.plotSvg makes it simple to generate 2D vector art for machinery like laser cutters, CNC routers, and classic pen #plotters like the @EMSL #AxiDraw. github.com/golanlevin/p5.plo…

After months of silence, my plotter machine sings again, from the other side of the globe here in China. This is "Polygons" for #plotparty #penplotter

I've augmented my #axidraw with some superpowers, including: - Plot without me/my laptop present - Control via my phone - Status visible on an ESP32 screen - Full SVG optimization with vpype - multi-threaded plot simulations w nextdraw_cli - Jobs are saved and can be replayed After six years of cohabitating with these machines, I had built up a wish list of features. Furthermore, at Plotterfest this year, I saw how @zancan runs his plots behind the scenes, which was super inspirational. I'll be doing some IRL plotting later this year, and I used it as an excuse to finally build software to make my life easier. #plottertwitter

Some fun with the “drawing robot”— plotted on an @EMSL AxiDraw Mini. SVG generated from @msurguy’s Rad Lines project!

So excited to be helping @Licia_He with her interactive generative plotter art exhibition this weekend at @V_and_A
