I thought I'd finished with these watercolour augmented plots, but I remembered I wanted some cards to send to people and figured it'd be fun to make some mini versions.

"Pipes" - Still gotta work out a controlled way to stop mid-plot.

PUNCHING CORNERS. Because postcards look better with rounded corners. Also, these are great for colouring in. I pop various bits and bobs in to the bag along with plots when I sell them. When I plotted the last batch of postcards (with 10Print and landscape designs) I thought they'd last a while. But no, they've depleted surprisingly quickly (which is good). So now people are going to start to get these. 🔗👇 💸 [Buy plots from the shop](shop.revdancatt.com) 🤖 [Penplot SVG tools](revdancatt.com/penplotter) 📸 [Instagram](instagram.com/revdancatt) 👍 [Facebook](facebook.com/revdancatt) 🐦 [Twitter](twitter.com/revdancatt) 🥰 [Pinterest](pinterest.co.uk/revdancatt) 🏷👇 #databending #algorithmicart #computationaldrawing #geometryart #plotter #creativecode #opticalart #generativedesign #procedural #penplotterlove #revdancatt

Always been a sucker for pink! Metallic pink doubly so. I need to make more of these A5 and A4 plots, I'm running out of wall space to stick framed A3 plots up. Sometimes small is better. 🧾👇 ⏳ 18m 12s 📏 19.7m 🖋 Sakura Gelly Roll 🎨 Sakura Gelly Roll Metallic Pink (519) 📄 A5 Fabriano Black Black 300gsm hot pressed 📷 FujiFilm X100F #fujifilm+x100f 🤖 AxiDraw V3/A3 pen plotter 💻 Javascript SVG @revdancatt 🔗👇 💸 [Buy plots from the shop](shop.revdancatt.com) 🤖 [Penplot SVG tools](revdancatt.com/penplotter) 📸 [Instagram](instagram.com/revdancatt) 👍 [Facebook](facebook.com/revdancatt) 🐦 [Twitter](twitter.com/revdancatt) 🥰 [Pinterest](pinterest.co.uk/revdancatt) 🏷👇 #geometrydesign #opticalart #algorithmicart #shropshireartist #abstractgeometry #artxcode #databending #art #shapeart #penplotterlove #revdancatt

Big chonky plot, with offset red, blue and black ink. As much as I love plots with thousands of fine lines, I figured it'd be fun to an oversized one with good thick lines. I kinda like it tbh.

Makin' postcards, mainly to colour in 😄

What I really like about using Perlin noise as the function to control the selection of either curves or straight, is the obvious difference between plots.

POSCA pen test plot. I needed to redo a couple of these as I mixed up which pen was which. A couple of the plots looked really similar and initially, I assumed I'd just be able to know which was which, so wrong! Final comparison still coming soon! 🏷👇 #geometryart #mathart #algorithmicart #penplotterlove #creativecode #computationaldrawing #printmaking #digitalcreations #grafficdesign #art #revdancatt

Uhoh, moving into uncharted waters. Pen plot onto lino to then be cut, sure why not. How hard can it be? Really, how hard can it be? 🔗👇 💸 [Buy plots from the shop](shop.revdancatt.com) 🤖 [Penplot SVG tools](revdancatt.com/penplotter) 📸 [Instagram](instagram.com/revdancatt) 👍 [Facebook](facebook.com/revdancatt) 🐦 [Twitter](twitter.com/revdancatt) 🥰 [Pinterest](pinterest.co.uk/revdancatt) #proceduralart #digitalcreations #shapeart #artandtechnology #creativecode #linesandshapes #mathart #geometryart #procedural #algorithmic

Black, silver and gold variant of the "constellation" plot, which will be familiar to anyone who's played with creative code and vectors

Makes me feel that I should do proper constellations and star maps, I mean, how hard can they be?? (He says, knowing they're probably going to be harder than I'd like).

Taking full advantage of my "crop this to a circle code". Kinda brings another dimension to older designs.

I think this one would look good mounted in a square frame.

Fine-liner on watercolour, something very satisfying about these, almost playful. Needs more crayons!

Had the pleasure of plotting a couple more of these golden designs over the weekend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Still absolutely loving the plots when they are partway through the process. Trying to figure out how to control that a bit more. Clearly I need more sliders and dials.

[revdancatt]

Work in progress, created a new SVG generator. Just exploring the design space before I put the tool online (i.e. give myself a head-start with my own tools, lol!)
