Now that I can plot larger I'm looking for a piece to be my first edition of 18"x24" prints. Here are some plots from this week, a mix of old files and new pens.

My first 18"x24" plot in the garage with the new ArtFrame 2436. I can go twice as big once I get some paper and build a flat file to store all these large prints.

Nov '25 Print Set

Normally for my monthly print set I have to plot a bunch of 5"x7" designs to find ones I like. Lately I'm only setting up 11"x15" files so I cropped out 3 sections of a recent print (pic 2) to make the set.

New plot up in the shop. Snapped out of a mini-rut by revisiting some old files. Stacked and stretched this repeating line work to create some great tones. Shop link in bio.

October ' 25 print set. Took some arcs, took some curves, and pushed and pulled them into these flowing calligraphic shapes. I love the Uniball UM-153's and get enough tones out of my go-to red, blue, gold, and black that I doubt I'll ever get tired of them.

If you mention pencils to most pen plotters they'd be happy to push you out of a moving car at high speed. The way the point degrades through a plot make it a media that I really enjoy working with.

I use the red, blue, and black Uniball Signo UM-153 pens a lot. They are the only colors I can find refills for, which saves me from tossing the plastic shells. The 1.0mm tip really packs the ink in.

August '25 print set

This month I grounded myself with a simple graphic dash pattern that evolves through the print set as scale changes and layers get added.

July '25 print set

All prints plotted from the same source file with 4 layers of overlapping lines. One made with pens, one with brushes, and one mix. Stacking some paper underneath let the marks just skirt over the paper, yielding unpredictable results.

21 very different prints made with the same pens, plotted from the same file. I stacked a few pieces of paper under the prints and varied the pen heights to build up these random layers.

Taking a break from all that's going on to share this month's print set. I worked with a much lighter weight paper than usual which put limits on how thick you could apply the pen ink. Still lots of layers and the gesso pulls up layers from the bottom.
