I've been pen plotting a lot of postcards this year. I love it because 4"x6" is small enough that the post cards are quick to make. This allow for really quick iteration of ideas and exploration.

While one postcard is being drawn by the plotter, I am often exploring a variant and come up with what I want to see next. My poor plotter has gotten very little rest.

The speed and size also makes it lower stakes and encourages me to be bold and "mess up". As much as mistakes are possible in art.

The code for these postcards was written in a mix of python using @abey79's Vsketch library and javascript using the new p5.js pen plotter svg library by @golan. So much gratitude to all the work on both of those.

a 11x9 grid 4"x6" post cards on a wooden floor with colorful art in several styles. Some are variants of perlin noise flow fields, some are are overlapping circles, some are squares in a grid.

a 3x3 grid of 4"x6" pen plotted post cards. Each post card has drawings of squares. Some are in a grid with no overlap. Some are in a grid with overlap. And some are in what looks like a pile all on tope of each other. Several use a blue purple color scheme.

A 2x2 grid of 4"x6" pen plotted post cards. All drawn the same blue, green purple fine tip pens.
Top left is a field (magnetic not grass) with several spots of varying sizes of concentric circles and rounded lines between them.
Top right is flow field with densely drawn lines making a wavy pattern.
Bottom left is a flow field with looser whipy waves.
Bottom right is a flow field with densely drawn lines making a wavy pattern with a few whirlpool spirals towards the bottom left.

a 3x1 grid fo 4"x6" post cards. Each of most of the post cards is filled with curved lines.
Top: pinkish red lines coming in to at various angles to form a few very tight spirals. The centers of the tight spirals is a small irregular darker red spot.
Middle: Green lines with about 10 spots the lines avoid and go around like water would be diverted by rocks.
Bottom: pinkish purple. Similar pattern to the middle one but in purple instead of green and spots in different places in the image.

Packing this edition up and sending to the UK, would you buy this album if this was the cover? Really happy with how they came out, each print has some nice subtle differences. Now to pick one to keep.

Pilot G2 gel pens on 12-3/8" square Arches paper

Edition of 6 circular geometric abstract prints. Layers of lines of 8 different colors overlap to create blue, red, and green tones

A lovely #ptpx postcard from @rupert - "Face and Antiface". It's got so much information in the artwork. #postcard #plotterart #penplotter

Hey checkout this great #ptpx postcard from @polygonsoup on Instagram. Love these colors, and the sgraffito technique! #plotterart #penplotter #plottertoot

A plotter postcard of multicolored lines on a black background. There are holes along the top edge like for a ring binder. The multicolored lines are made by scratching through a black coating.

Did some Monday evening plotting: very minor changes to the wave equation rendering code to experiment with a much denser set of lines than I've done before

I had hoped for a less moody in-progress photo but the spotlight I have set up is better for eyes than the camera

A close up photo of a pen plotter drawing on white paper. A Pilot V ball Grip pen is clamped in the orange pen holder at top left of frame. The pen is drawing a wavy pattern formed from closely spaced lines, it's supposed to look like ripples on a pond

A wavy pattern formed from closely spaced lines, it's supposed to look like ripples on a pond. The lines are angled so the square "pond" is approximately oriented like an isometric drawing

A close up part of a wavy pattern formed from closely spaced lines, it's supposed to look like ripples on a pond. The lines are angled so the square "pond" is approximately oriented like an isometric drawing but we see only a part of the pattern. Near the centre of frame is a thin spike, surrounded by regular waves interfering with others that reflect from the sides

Just finished plotting this photo interpretation. A4 with 17 layers. A mix of ECS Drawing and Streamlines Flow Field. Black is with a ~.25mm gel pen and the colours with ~.3mm Staedtler fineliner on Bristol board.

A close-up, stylized drawing of a face, primarily in black ink lines, with accents of yellow, orange, blue, and pink lines. The face is centered and slightly tilted, with a visible eye, nose, and mouth. The lines are densely packed, creating texture and a sense of depth. The background is a mix of geometric shapes and abstract lines, also in black ink, partially obscuring the face. The overall effect is fragmented and layered, with a mix of organic and geometric forms. The drawing is on white paper, framed by a thin white border.

Today's installment of "Same File, Same Pens, Same Paper, but .."

Building up these tones with 8 different pen inks means the slightest shift of .01" can impact the final result. I personally usually like how it gives each print individual qualities.
