Experimenting with programmatic typography distortion (and nostalgia) for my way late #ptpx #penplotter postcard exchange contributions. On the lovely axidraw with the equally lovely vsketch/vpype.

Postcards, postcards, #penplotter postcards going out. Can’t stop! All based on the same underlying code but all unique. Just like us. But also pen lines on paper so not to be taken too seriously :)

Completely addicted to #penplotter postcard plotting. Pushing these on my colleagues.

Most created in vsketch. Code repo at some point. Cubes using Ln (3d line art engine) in Observable notebook (https://observablehq.com/d/367173a4fb3075f5)

All set up and optimization using vpype. Drawn with the amazing Axidraw.

I have a newsletter called @Beautifulpublicdata where I write about interesting visual datasets collected by government agencies. This week I wrote about NASA's fascinating collection of 842 pounds of rocks and soil we brought back from the Moon to be photographed and catalogued in meticulous detail: https://www.beautifulpublicdata.com/nasa-lunar-sample-collection/ #NASA #moon

Here’s All the Rocks We Hauled Back From the Moon

The 12 human beings who walked on the Moon collected, catalogued and returned 842 pounds of lunar rock and soil. Each sample has been meticulously documented in NASA's Lunar Sample Catalog.

Took a screenprinting workshop with the wonderful people at Underway Studio in Brixton, highly recommend! Can't wait to try a mix of screen prints with pen plotter.
