Came into a bunch of cat 8E cable and decided to use for a flying cable upgrade for my plotter. I really hate how heavy and awkward that constraint cable channel stuff is, so I got rid of it, shorten the paths significantly, and made it modular with some networking stuff.

Your car sucks, my late step father’s 73 superbug hasn’t been run since he cranked it up. It has sat untouched for 6-7 years under a bonnet in the southern sun, and it just fucking cranked. And I cried, because this thing meant a lot to him, and he meant a lot to me.

Goldfish are actually jet black, their colors come from the shimmer of their scales and if you get them in highly non-polarized light, they just look totally black. These fish are all the same color.

I embellish inexpensive European “army surplus” (actually mostly civil service uniforms) from the 80s and 90s for my own wardrobe, I change the buttons to being more colorful and make my clothes look as non military as possible. I love how that guy thinks!

Working on a very minimal #plotter design as a concept piece. The idea being that such a product only has a place in a world where it is meaningfully portable and composed almost entirely from standard parts and fixturing.

Last nights work, finished the night at a very quiet strip club, trying to draw bodies, I am mostly abstract and constructionistic, but a lot of women ask me to draw them, and I have to explain that even my cubism is non-representational…anyway, I would be nice to be able to dash something out.

I love writing serial protocols, I have no idea why, but I just enjoy the structuring of it.

Recent work, also just finished making homemade meatballs. Not a terrible night. Got tons to think about.

Phasing and syncopation are a big theme of the work I do with the machine. I designed a very sensitive spring mechanism to allow the machine to apply pressure with the depth setting. I have yet to do anything grand with it, but it’s ready for something more intense, I need to code for it, though.

This is more of what my hand drawn work resembles. It’s a mix of impossible or challenging shapes to effectively be a space for colors and textures. For me the art is in the strokes, anistrophy, and a general lack of neutrals.

Finished the pressure variation system today. Basically, a spring determines the range of pressure applicable, and the Z-axis depth increases the tension in the spring, thus varying the pressure. There are several forms of direct translation possible for setting that response curve.

Fuck balancing forks I just eyeballed a 1 inch offset in 2 axis, and I decided to check for fun, and this is actually how close it was, like I can’t measure how close it isn’t, it’s so dead on.

Getting to where I can play my plotter like an organist and mostly get what I start out to get. This is me recalling an experience as a prompt with mostly style words, and generating thousands of images to find one that looks like a woman I have been flirting back with a lot lately. Then plotting it
