Still plotting large works, this time from the CMY Tangled Plus series. If you look closely, you can see it’s created from a structure of tessellated plus signs and hatched with CMY inks. This one is great seen from a distance as well as mesmerizing to see up close.
24”x36” watercolor with a vintage HP pen plotter, created and plotter with Python. 10 hours of plot time.
@KingDaveRa Very smooth, it's only limited by how you draw it. It's has a resolution of 0.025mm but all curves are drawn with straight line segments. So the more segments, the higher the resolution but also the slower the plotter moves (a combination of mechanics and RS-232 port speed).
@KingDaveRa They’re fascinating to watch working, tirelessly drawing for hours and hours. These machines were built to run all day in a business environment.
@paulrickards as your post shows up right above a post by @colossal, I wonder: have you ever submitted your work to them? If not, you should! If you have, well, what are they waiting for?!
The fact that you’re using vintage pen plotters you repaired yourself adds a great layer to the amazing artwork.
I’d submit your work, but feel like it’s not my place necessarily. https://www.thisiscolossal.com/submissions/
