Microns on bristol
Two new large plotter drawings!
Both randomly generate palettes by mixing lines of 3 different colored Microns. The second drawing also plays with density and semi-randomizes the presence of outlines.
These original drawings and others are available at https://shop.andymakes.com/
Everything in my store is signed, numbered & unique.

Plotter Postcard: Block Arch Fill
Two versions on this one!I had an idea for a fill algorithm which was cute but felt a little static. Of course, there is always Perlin Noise to spice things up!

Still playing around with 70s pulp smoke drawings, this time in a rectangle instead of a circle.

New plotter postcard: Fuzz Rings 3
Revisiting a an algorithm from last year that I really enjoyed and adding a second color.

Micron on Bristol
I love tightly packing alternating lines of color. I find that the precision of the plotter combined with the inevitable slight misalignment of a physical setup creates a very compelling image. It’s certainly a recurring theme in my work!
With this one I pushed the noisiness just a bit. The circles are all randomly offset from each other by just a fraction of an inch. This makes them reliable but adds areas where they are closer and other spots where there is more white showing through.
I’m very happy with the texture this creates in the final drawings! It’s fun to find new ways to approach styles I already feel comfortable with.

Processing art tutorial
Ep.34 Op art with rect and polygon
For Patrons and YT Members
Made with code / Processing
This Processing art tutorial shows an example of Op Art. The tutorial is divided in two steps: 1) with a rect(), and 2) with a custom function for a polygon(). Perhaps the most intriguing part of this visual is the use of a for() loop to rotate and arrange the shapes around the center. It adds the characteristic zigzag overlaps that also look nice in the animations.

Laser Drawing 05
Engraving Paper with Aufero Laser
Made with Processing & Aufero Laser by Ortur
Engraving paper with the Aufero Laser Engraver: This video is an attempt to translate a pattern onto paper with a laser. The pattern turned out well, however there are of course limitations, such as the density of hatches and the thickness of the paper itself. While engraving paper, most important is to avoid that the laser engraves the same line twice. The laser will burn through the paper otherwise. Additionally, if you engrave paper, make sure to watch the engraving process as the paper may catch fire. Otherwise, engraving drawings is a great way to explore new ways to translate digital drawings on a canvas that is permanent.

Processing art tutorial
Ep.36 Interpolate colors 2 with lerpColor
For Patrons and YT Members
Made with code / Processing
This Processing art tutorial shows how to use basic interpolation of colors with lerpColor. The main goal of this tutorial is to create a basic code structure where lerpColor() can be used to not only change colors but also to visualize the location and orientation of the visual elements. Additionally, a basic array of angles is introduced to enable more variations of the basic grid. (Randomness alone is not always the best.)

Ep.36 Interpolate colors 2 with lerpColor
For Patrons and YT Members
Made with code / Processing
This Processing art tutorial is a continuation of the last episode on lerpColor. In this video, the complexity of the code is increased with an additional lerpColor() function and various map() functions to control the distribution of the colors and lines. The visual is actually quite good already, but it is also possible to add additional elements to it. Especially working with the angles for rotation and other strokeWeights.

Processing art tutorial Ep.33
For Patrons & YT MembersDIFFERENCE - Drawing Machine 20
Made with code / Processing
This Processing art tutorial shows the code that was used for the Drawing Machine 20 pen plotter drawing. It is a quite simple code but it offers lot of variations. The code uses two basic for0 loops and a line with two map() functions to control the grid of lines. The colors are multiplied to visualize the difference or overlaps of lines. It is possible to continue developing this code, especially with lerp() and lerpColor() functions while changing the strokeWeight() variable and grid size. Once a composition in finished, export the PDF and a large raster image for a pen plotter or a digital print. Here is the Drawing Machine 20 video: https://youtu.be/Z17bZ5ZAMDk
