Very large Truchet tiles in monochrome of varying widths.

Black India ink on 24”x36” watercolor paper using a vintage HP DraftPro DXL pen plotter generated and controlled with Python.

Available in my shop: https://shop.paulrickards.com/truchet-tiles/

A pen plot on white paper of a small number of large Truchet tiles of overlapping, concentric arcs and horizontal and vertical lines in portrait orientation grouping, swirling around the page in black ink. The composition is tilted slightly to the right.

The detail focuses on a middle showing the individual pen strokes of black ink in varying widths.

Another very large Truchet tiles in monochrome of varying stroke widths but in an orderly wave pattern.

    Deep diving into motion capture used for biomechanics research. I know absolutely nothing about it, but it's always fascinating to peek into other disciplines to learn new terminology, workflows, software, and file formats. Seems .C3D files are used a lot for datasets.

    It's the most wonderful time of the year: ! I love using floppy disks as a medium to plot on as well as a subject of my pen plots.

    Here's a selection of 5.25" floppy disk plots available in my shop =)

    A picture of a #PenPlotter in action drawing on a white 5.25" floppy disk an abstract asteroid made up of triangles that is being disintegrated by a small triangular ship drawn in the left corner that is reminiscent of Asteroids the video game.
