Incidentally, you can request a papercraft gift from me using a form on my profile on Bluesky. 😉

Incidentally, #ptpx postcards have been mailed out. I like this idea of exchanging physical art from digital plans. Tangibility is valuable.

Also, if you've never checked it out, follow @doctormo@floss.social who I think is a model for FOSS ideals. There's a remarkable level of transparency and engagement. #inkscape

Congratulations to the @inkscape team for the v1.4.3 release. I think as a vector native tool, it's quite indispensable, and kudos to the active development. Transitioning to the new multi-page format will change how one can organize the workflow. #svg

The Jinhao 992 fountain pen works just fine in a vertical orientation. Anglerfish - B5 sized plot with Opon Channel Blue ink. #penplotter #algorist

Came across some actual original HP plotter paper. Let’s see if it’s any different. Manual says there’s an optimal side. #penplotter #supplies

Remember when Cricut has these preprinted submlimation sheets meant to be cut and transferred? Seems that they’re being dumped in all sorts of bins.

So this cheap Jinhua fountain pen I picked up turns out to be fantastic on the plotter. Even if used vertically. Who knew. #penplotter

The last gift plot was claimed. So new plot on scrap cardboard. #penplotter #upcycle

Unlike a printer - you can plot on various sizes and shapes of paper. And sometimes not even paper! #useyourplotter

I had a scrap piece of cardboard, and made a plot. Figuring out who’d want it as a gift. 80x110 mm #penplotter #plotterart #algorist

Don't use the Facebook app (iOS). You're not in control youtu.be/etMdO6FvR8U - try dismissing an ad.
The Facebook app is one of the most aggravating user interfaces ever.

Mexican Tiles 1. Ecoline Red ink on B5 paper. Plotted on AxiDraw. #penplotter #plotterart #algorist #tiles
December 16, 2025 at 7:11 PM
At least a couple of #penplotter vendors simply use AxiDraw software as the driver, basically mimicking the @bantamtools.bsky.social machine - but without the ongoing support structure.

Fish ashore. A B5 sized plot exploring negative space. #penplotter #plotterart #algorist

Listening to a podcast, I heard it tagged with "Guaranteed Human". Which, I suppose, is a hedge against AI generated voice content. How soon before that pattern seeps into the language models?
