Our @forgeandcraft piece for the #WimbledonArtFair pre-sale is available in the "mini-masterpiece gallery" now.
Painted using a pen plotter with acrylics. Amazing work by @heidigoseek (although, I may be biased) and she is working on more of this style in different materials. #PlotterArt

Bonus visit #today to #WimbledonArtFair that I had forgotten about. Currently in the café with tea and waffle while I mentally digest the first studios' ideas!

I gave the @forgeandcraft studio website a small refresh. We plan to combine it and the shop into a single site at some point, but for now the landing page is fairly simple. I added some links to related blog posts and talks etc and made better use of the page width. #PlotterPerson #PlotterArt #WimbledonArtFair

wrote a couple of small art generators, one of which approximating / inspired by work by Vera Molnár. I plan to clean up and upload somewhere soon. Using these for the #WimbledonArtFair #plotterart #creativecoding #generativeart

Our Forge & Craft “mini-masterpiece”1 for the Wimbledon Art Fair for spring 2025, is titled Heliocode.
Throughout the past year, we’ve been experimenting with the use of paint as an element of our pen plotter work. This is not to the same extent as some of our friends in the community, who have built complete systems to pick and apply colours individually2 – instead, we’re using 3D printed styli to draw through poured paints. We’ve found this to be an interesting combination, juxtaposing the organic and unpredictable movement of the paints with the precision of the drawn lines.
Our previous mini-masterpiece, New Horizons, was in the show sale last November; a behind-the-scenes image crept into my previous post about plotter work.
The new piece, Heliocode, is something that Heidi spent a lot of time on, largely while I was travelling in my new role! The line art design was my principal contribution – that may reappear in different form, in a future project; experimentation with paint, and creation of the final artwork, were all thanks to her efforts. The design was was not intended to be reminiscent of the previous work, at all (in fact, it was never created with the intent to be plotted) – although, viewed one after the other, I can see that there’s a coincidental similarity.
Heliocode
The artwork was created with a Bantam Tools NextDraw 1117, and again combines poured paint techniques with the more strict stylus dynamics of a coded SVG design. We chose a vibrant yellow medium, and a dark violet for the line art. A slight imperfection still found its way into the pattern, which is part of the charm of working with a mixture of digital and analog tools.
Feel free to take a look at the new work, on the Wimbledon Art Fair sale site – it is one of a kind, at an affordable price.
You can also come to visit us at the event itself – find us in Red Studios 273, between May 8th – May 11th 2025.
- The mini-masterpieces are made and donated by each of the artists taking part in the fair, as part of fundraising for the future of the show. ↩︎
- See Licia He’s Painting with Plotters course, as one example. ↩︎

Last year, I gave a number of talks on the subject of pen plotters / drawing machines, and how they have been used in different ways to realise different forms of art.
I wasn’t immediately able to share the main talk (the closing keynote from QCon London 2024), but I posted about the shorter edition that I delivered at Electromagnetic Field, and I’ve also written about the distinction between computer art generated using algorithms, and generative AI creations.
It took some time for the video to become available to share, but you can now take a look at the closing keynote that began it all, on the InfoQ website: Where is the Art? a History in Technology. I really enjoyed researching the subject.
This year, I plan to tinker with building more of my own plotters, in different formats.
Plotting with paintNext up, we have our fifth (!) Wimbledon Art Fair – next month, May 8-11. We’re still working with the plotter and pouring paints, and have upgraded from the AxiDraw A4 SE to a larger NextDraw 1117 for some of our more recent work. If you’re in the neighbourhood, do come and take a look!

From the #WimbledonArtFair and studio today - impromptu collab with my #brachiograph to create this. A robot drew a robot (and I helped out at the end). #penplotter

Today is the first day of #WimbledonArtFair - our fourth time participating as @forgeandcraft and there's plenty to talk about. I'll be a bit less available online until Monday as we talk to visitors (and make more #penplotter art!) 🤖 🎨

Day 3 of #WimbledonArtFair was lovely, and some folks liked my recent #PlotterArt piece “The Château” produced using DrawingBotV3 and the Roland DXY-1100, which made me very happy 😊 one more day of the show - and then, I’m heading to California for a week! ✈️

Framing and hanging art involves far more mathematics than I like 🤔
In other news, #WimbledonArtFair opens this afternoon at 2pm and @forgeandcraft has an open studio Thursday-Sunday!

Busy day pen plotting, wrangling a *nightmarish* sublimation printer firmware update procedure #IHatePrinters - and chatting to visitors at #WimbledonArtFair
We changed up the studio layout so that I wasn't tucked behind the door, and I felt a lot more energetic interacting with folks, as a result! Also, made my first small sale of a pen plotted piece 💚
