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.

Pyramids (Ln 3d line art engine)

Plotparty postcard exchange progress. SVGs created using ln (3D line art - js port) in Observable. Optimized and prepped (and sometimes squiggled) in vpype and plotted on the amazing Axidraw. #penplotter #plotparty
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.
Pen plotting and bread making today. Nice to finally have a little time. Tip run too so not all fun and games.
vsketch + vpype + vpype-perspective = JOY! Thanks @abey79
Love the latest (and final for me this time) #ptpx postcard to arrive. Twenty twenty tree on cardboard! Thank you @Hapiel
ok, better late than never but finally got the #ptpx postcards mailed out. On the back I've included a github link for a How To Read for the data visualization on the plot. Will post link in a few weeks once postcards have a chance to travel. Huge thanks to @paulgb for the motivation and to @abey79 for vpype/vsketch.
#ptpx is the bright spot of the past few days... 2 incredible pieces arrived yesterday... postal scars and all! Fine detailed work by @karlsluis (tw) and rectangle flows by @pentronik Thanks!
