Always Plotting Something…

Jan 19, 2025

  • Six small drawings in a 3 by 2 grid on a square white card; each resembling a rug made from vertical lines and two or three colours of dots, making checker board, chevron, and parallel line patterns. The patterns are symmetric between the top and bottom half of each drawing.
  • In-progress shot as the top left rug is being drawn by the plotter with a Pigma Micron fineliner pen.
  • Close up of the top-left design: the middle section is a pink field with one large and four smaller chevrons; above and below is a blue field with two large white cross shapes, then a pink line, a strip of a blue-and-white checkerboard pattern, and a double pink line.

Genuary 15: design a rug.

I don't normally do pixel grids (for one, can never trust the pen registration, and it's very slow as there are lots of pen lifts) but it was actually quite fun to build a few simple patterns (fill, lines, checkers, diamonds) and see how they work in random combinations.

Genuary is a month of creative prompts to encourage experimentation with generative art created with code (and, for me, drawing robots).
