My first #PortfolioDay! I’m Paul and I’m an artist that uses modern code to create unique works using vintage pen plotters, which I also collect and repair as needed. My works are typically in CMY color but I also do monochrome or other specialty inks. I can do up to 36”x48”.

🚀 Boosts appreciated! Cheers!

@paulrickards cool. this is the most unique plotter art I've seen in as long as I can recall. The first and third are my favorites, and the second one is interestingly evocative of modern abstract quilt art

@mrcompletely Hey thanks! Happy you like those. Definitely see the similarities to a quilt in the third one, it looks like wrinkles or folds of fabric to me. 🙂

@brhfl Aww thanks for the super kind words! Happy you enjoy my works. I've been exploring the medium for a few years now and it's been lots of fun. My advise is to give it a try. There's lots of hardware entry points (vintage and new). Hope to see your works some day!
