RE: https://mastodon.social/@paulrickards/109291723727249986

Back in 2022, I announced I'd switch to using the #PenPlotter hashtag on Fedi for my art. (I also follow that hashtag which is a great way to have an instantly curated stream.)

If you're a pen plotter artist or enthusiast, I hope you'll join me in tagging your art with #PenPlotter The hope is to recreate the early days of #PlotterTwitter and discover more great plotter art 👋

FYI other tags that I've seen: #PlotterToot #PlotterVerse #PlotterArt #AxiDraw

@futurebird yes and yes! I've built a large string polargraph (7x3m) and use an A3 AxiDraw for making holiday cards. #PlotterToot has lots of other people making cool art with their plotters.

Today’s work in the #penplotter. I really enjoy the way plotters lend themselves both to the sort of art you can hang on your wall, and to more “practical” decorations like postcards, and bookmarks, and this #notebook cover here.
Supplies: 147gsm white cardstock, extra fine Platinum preppy fountain pen, DeAtrementis Document black ink, Axidraw V3 pen plotter

Hey checkout this great #ptpx postcard from @polygonsoup on Instagram.  Love these colors, and the sgraffito technique!  #plotterart #penplotter #plottertoot

#ptpx is stretching out into a year long event! 😂 Friday I received this piece from Romain (data.flaw on Instagram). Love that sharp contrast of the white on black! Look closely to pick up on the alternating line structure (you see it more in the thumbnail). #plotterart #penplotter #plottertoot

Thanks @doersino for this clever #ptpx postcard showing the OSM street map data thoughtfully placed nearby, but not exactly on, my house.  Extra thanks for sharing your code (https://ghpages.noahdoersing.com/osm2svg4art/) - I definitely do plan to try it out!

Another #ptpx postcard!

In a lovely red fine linework, this untitled piece is by Simon M. @smn_txyz. I really dig those illusory folds. Unfortunately I can't figure out what social media platform that handle is actually on, so if you know this person, please tag them. #plotterart #plottertoot

Over on Insta, there is a #plotterart plot party hosted by PenPlotArt. It's been a while since I could join in, but I had a little time yesterday to try rendering from an old engraved illustration of the heart, and I'm pretty happy with it. Bic ballpoint on office paper with a Roland DXY-885. #plottertoot

- And a piece inspired by wood end grain, from Brendan Howell (no social media contact info, but I shall cry into the void that I liked it.). #ptpx #plotterart #plottertoot

- A white on black paper piece by Julien Gachadoat https://www.v3ga.net (not on Mastodon I don't think). White ink on black paper is always a winning combo!

- A lovely mixed media piece (I think this is paint and ink) by @j_cammarata_art #ptpx #plotterart #plottertoot

We had a postal strike in Canada, and while in principle things were running again by Christmas, the mail has been very, very slow to arrive.
But I'm happy to say some #PTPX have been trickling in!  And hey, I haven't sent mine yet, so who am I to complain.  Without further ado, presenting the recent arrivals. 🧵

For #ptpx and my december patreon goodies, I'm plotting with something special: masking fluid.
I wanted to try this since summer to create a pen plot piece that is not fully finished and needs the receiver to finish it.

Watercolor paint and gel pens on 5"x7" BFK Rives paper

The paint in these prints was applied with a round 1/2" diameter foam brush. The two colors overlap a tiny bit allowing the paints to interact directly on the print.

Signo 0.5mm gel pens and watercolor on BFK Rives.

I've been plotting on bristol almost exclusively because it's so smooth and takes pen line work so well but as I use more mixed media I'm finding other papers work better overall. This BFK Rives is great at taking the watercolor with no bleeding or curling.

Fluid acrylic paint and Signo UM-153 pens on 5"x7" bristol

Was a busy month and got a late start on this print set. Not going at my usual pace, with it's usual time for trial and error left me feeling rushed which may have impacted my thoughts on these prints. As with all work, parts I like and parts I don't but need to look at with fresh eyes.

Still working with the paint and Signo pen combination as I continue to be excited by the rich tones you can build up. Worked this month a lot with the gold pen in addition to the standard red, blue, and black and love how it comes through. Never thought I'd be a gold pen guy but here we are.

Still working with these line moire patterns. I used to put an emphasis on changing techniques and materials often in the spirit of exploration but I'm finding success in limiting the exploration to a specific set of tools.

Still working with these #moire pen line prints. Amazed at the amount of tones you can generate with just a few pens. I did bring in gold and white ink on these in addition to the red, blue, and black. The paint is actually a screen printing ink made from captured carbon. It's super pricey but love the idea and it has a nice matte finish.

I plotted some #postcards. These are always fun to make, even if I don’t have any immediate people to send them to.

Two awesome plotter #postcards today. Thank you @tobias_grothmann and @psicomante ! #ptpx #plotparty #plottertoot #penplotter

And a cmyk one for today’s #plotparty

Blue and wavy again. The ink for this and the last piece is Pelikan Turquoise, if anybody was wondering.

Many fountain pen inks are not water proof at all. This is not a bad thing.

Today's #ptpx feature is these "paths through a truncated hexagonal tiling", by @etchfo Love the clean fine line look! #plotterart #penplotter #plottertoot

A quick test plot with a new fountain pen.

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.
