#ptpx — Public Fediverse posts

It's mid-May, so even though there's a few still missing (perhaps just delayed – the postal system works in mysterious ways), here's all the #ptpx postcards I've received since #ptpx2025 kicked off in December.

Thanks to everyone who's mailed me one, and I hope my contribution (see up-thread) hasn't dragged the general level of quality down too much – after all, quite a few of these are going to receive a permanent spot on the pinboard in my office!

Bonus! Here is another #ptpx postcard.  This one is from Schwittlick (https://schwittlick.net/).  I have to admit a little mea culpa, i actually got it a week or so ago, and got busy and didn't post right away.  Not because I didn't love it, I do. #penplotter #plotterart

Another #PTPX postcard has arrived, and this one is kinda punk rock. It is very solid, rough edged, with scorch marks. I think it intimidates the other postcards 😅 Nice! I present to you "Burn, Baby, Burn", by monperrus. This monperrus: https://www.monperrus.net #plotterart #penplotter

Thank you @humulus 😍 #penplotter #ptpx #ptpx2025 I spent a long time diciphering those curves. Wonderful 😊

#PTPX continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. I know there's been some .. ahem.. comments.. about how long it takes sometimes for ptpx cards to get out, but honestly I like having it spaced out over time. Here are two recent arrivals - I'll do it as a 🧵 I guess.

I really enjoyed doing #ptpx and will do it again next year for sure. Here are the cards I mailed in December, and the ones I have received. Super fun and super inspiring, recommend.

And they're off! #ptpx postcards hit the post office today. A bit later than I wanted but nowhere near as bad as previous years. They are going naked, no envelope, so the postal service can add that last touch of randomness. #plotterart #penplotter

On the blue is a piece called tracing the line by Hubertus of www.fleurcerebrale.com. On the back it explains "with a shaking hand over time: project 'getting older'". Merci Hubertus, je l'aime beaucoup, et ça nous arrive à tous. #ptpx #plotterart #penplotter

On the white paper we have an untitled piece from Mike @artplots   The picture doesn't capture it well, but this ink is really funky, I really like it.  Many thanks! #ptpx #plotterart #penplotter

Wooo! A couple more #ptpx postcards have come in over the last week or so. Time for another mini thread. 🧵 #plotterart #penplotter

As an addendum to my #ptpx post just now: It's always fun (genuinely!) to go through my stamp "collection" and piece together combinations that work for whatever price increases Deutsche Post has applied since I last bought stamps (while still physically fitting on the cards)!

Every December, there's a pen plotter postcard exchange called #ptpx (I've participated for the past three years: https://mastodon.social/@doersino/109460427108652884 & https://mastodon.social/@doersino/111688094152383358 & https://mastodon.social/@doersino/114093465227078609).

Fashionably late for #ptpx2025 (but a month earlier than last time!), I just sent out my 19 cards – each one depicts a randomly-generated forest with all kinds of sights. (Don't mind the ghosts, they'll tell you stories of eras past!)

I've built a tiny tool to generate them: https://codeberg.org/noahdoersing/ptpx2025

I'm a bit late. I hope the wait was worth it ^_^

#ptpx plots leaving today!

Thank you very much @tca , glowmuffin, @hollandhopson and @Mamboleoo !!

I was very happy to discover your postcards in my mailbox ^_^

So much variety! <3

I received two great #ptpx cards today Thank you @v3ga and @faab_e !

#ptpx postcards that have arrived in my mailbox. Half way done? I'm glad I'm not the only straggler.

I dropped a nice stack of #postcards off at the post office today #ptpx

I just received this great #penplot for #ptpx Thanks @jeffpalmer !

Last one for this thread but maybe first sent out. By BigDiceDave (not on mastodon I think). Untitled piece - but I especially like the snowman. This one took a while to arrive - it had a small adventure being delivered to my neighbour first 😅. #plotterart #penplotter #ptpx

I'm very excited to receive one of these multicolored truchet drawings from @paulrickards. I've been watching these grow ever more sophisticated over time. #plotterart #penplotter #ptpx

This one is from a series "Ruptures" by @fractalkitty . Love this crisp linework and the paper! #plotterart #penplotter #ptpx

This one, from @tca is best understood when seen as number 6 in the series https://genart.social/@tca/115838795881383432 I am excited to be one of the lucky 12! #plotterart #penplotter #ptpx

Here is a low-poly rendering of a 1650's pencil by glowmuffin (sorry, no social media info) This is based on a 3D model of said pencil found in a medieval wreck, which is pretty cool. #plotterart #penplotter #ptpx Thanks glowmuffin.

It's #ptpx season! I love this time of year because each week brings fresh, delightful art in the mailbox. I've been a bit slack in posting about it, so here goes a 🧵 . #plotterart #penplotter

63 Broken Ladders

I mailed my postcards for this year's plotter postcard exchange. The design this year is "63 of 255 possible broken 8 rung ladders (in order) + 1 complete 8 rung ladder." I plotted the cards using an Axidraw SE/A3 with a Staedtler pigment liner for the black lines and a Sakura Pigma PN for the red.

I got some nice #ptpx cards in the mail today. Thanks @peterkagey.com @aotearoan!

I sent out my #ptpx2025 cards yesterday. Here's what's on them: http://iq0.com/ptpx2025.html #ptpx

#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

(originally posted on 2024-12-23) - PTPX24: Let's meet in the middle #1 + #2 After some work on stroke ordering, color switches and introducing a third 'blending' color (yes, I'm cheating), I ended up with these two postcards that will be heading out the door to far off places.

"Let's meet in the middle" #1 & #2

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!

Every December, there's a pen plotter postcard exchange called #ptpx (I've participated for the past two years: https://mastodon.social/@doersino/109460427108652884 & https://mastodon.social/@doersino/111688094152383358).

Fashionably late for #ptpx2024, I just sent out my 16 cards – totalling 230-odd meters of drawn lines and adorned with 42 stamps. They depict the roads in the general area around the recipient's address.

I've built a tiny tool to pull the required data from OpenStreetMap's Overpass API and convert it to SVG: https://ghpages.noahdoersing.com/osm2svg4art/

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
