The pen is a Platinum Preppy; they’re nice because 1) they’re cheap and 2) you can just slip an o ring on them and then fill the entire body of the pen with ink. #penplotter#plottertoot#fountainpen
Biggest issue with PatternPortrait currently is the plot time. If for example people wear clothes with lot's of structure/patterns, I get way more lines into the image and calculation + plot times increase quite a bit. #plottertoot
At some point I should switch to a more portable plotter. My beloved axidraw barely fit's my backpack. I so much would love to build my own one day but currently time works against me. #plottertoot
What I didn't expect: people are now inquiring me to bring PatternPortrait to events. This is really cool! Now I definitely need to optimize the whole thing a bit! #plottertoot
I really enjoyed the whole process from mixing the cyanotype solution, coating the paper, scanning the leaves and finally pen plotting 🌿 #plotterdon#plottertoot
An evil plan is maybe best plotted in the dark but not your art!
My favorite pen plotter gadget is a magnetic light board: great illumination, no shadows and keeps your paper in place. #plotterdon#plottertoot
