Moth Crossing: Hex vs Truchet #penplotter

I’m working on a new pen plotting process. I’ve created some custom software that allows me to clip an SVG along a boundary within an image. The first two images use a hexagonal pattern to form the outline of a leaf. The last, a work in progress, is the same leaf pattern inverted. #penplotter

Experimenting with hexagonal grids. Unfortunately the nib is too wide on this piece and doesn’t adequately show the noise distortion. #penplotter #genuary #art

Your ICP is your narrowly-defined target customer. But tons of other people will sign up anyway. Good! But don’t get distracted by their requests or even their churn. Why it happens like this:

We’ve stripped serendipity from the modern world. We’ve constructed silos of mirrors. Eject yourself. Pause in the awkward pleasure of discomfort and reawaken to the unknown.

It's all happening for us train enthusiasts (or is it just me?) as today marks 200 years since the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in 1825 - the birth of the modern railway. So here are some of the many railway linocuts I have done over the years - too many, I hear you say? Surely not… 😂

I'm building a tool that helps you identify potential AI "search phrases" based on a user's query. By targeting these phrases, you can increase the likelihood of showing up in AI search results. You can give it a try without creating an account: keywordcanvas.ai

LLMs don't index the internet the way search engines do. Because of this, they rely on SERPs to do the heavy lifting of ranking content. LLMs create a variety of "search phrases" based on what the user is researching. They then use these phrases to build context to answer the user's prompt.

There's still a lot of debate as to exactly how AI Search chooses which results to show. But, these points are clear: 1. Good SEO = Good AIO (AI search optimization) 2. Higher page rank = More likely to be cite in AI search results 3. AI Search uses a technique called query fan-out (QFO)

Jerad Maplethorpe @jerad.io · 08/08/2025
People thought organic search traffic would plummet because of AI Search. And overall search traffic is down. BUT the quality of traffic (based on conversions and engagement) is actually better when it originates from AI Search. So how do you get your content to appear in AI Search results?
