The Drawing Machine

After experimenting with the POSCA pens and the envelope code, I've had a go at writing code specifically for dealing with the pens, rather than kinda hacked stamper-to-pens code.

I took the Fibonacci sequence and had a go at making some colourful plots out of it. Worked pretty well.

I think they look better smaller than larger, after a certain size it all gets a bit too random.

Quickly plotting some last minute Halloween cards. I can ask Kitty (the AI) to write a bunch of cards on a 4x4, 5x5, 2x4 and various other combination grids, by either giving her the exact text to write, or a prompt she can write variations on.

Realised I did't have a project for general drawing machine stuff, better fix that.

Now that I've finally started to record the drawing machine "tutorial" videos the machine is going to be doing a lot more pen plotting, so I have footage and examples of what I'm talking about.

However, these are do I can have some little cards to go in with the Ghost riso prints I'm going to send off to people.
