I just submitted this drawing to a gallery show.
It's called 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘸 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺
It plots all 246 Crayola crayon colors on a circular grid according to their color data.
Crayola crayon and graphite on paper, 30x30”, (2023)

Love this #drawingmachine
It’s in the Olafur Eliasson show at the MoCA in LA.
Meteorological data are used to control the speeds of the four motors that drive the machine, causing the movements of the levers and the traces that are left on the page to reflect the intermittences of the weather.

The urge to check your watch while meditating is the same as the urge to check social media when you're "tired" of reading after 2 pages or drawing for 20 minutes or even slightly inconvenienced by little tasks.
Culture trains you to be distracted.
Train yourself to focus.

I finished testing the scale of the armor pieces with cardboard.
That test told me to make the torso pieces 1/2 an inch longer.
So here, I’m plotting this second edited version on the sheet of material I’ll use to make the final armor.

Took my #mando armor for its first test run last night!
Cardboard is not an approvable material, but this is just to get the scale of the armor right.
Still so much to be done!

Plotting some #mandalorian armor in cardboard
This test will help me scale the pieces to my actual body dimensions.
Cardboard is also cheaper than the material I’ll use for the finished armor.

The year is 2368.
The woodworking holodeck program has optional 𝙨𝙖𝙬𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩.
Turning on 𝙨𝙖𝙬𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩 increases the difficulty of the program, making it necessary to build an entire dust management system.
Since it's simulated, this is all for fun.
Welcome to the future.

I'm learning #geometrynodes by playing with them one by one.
Today is the "Attribute Statistic" node.
Wishing I knew how to vary the levels of scale for my output, but I'll figure it out eventually.

Made a #LEGO base plate in #blender – (its dimensions are even accurate to irl bricks!)
I've started learning #geometrynodes while I wait for my #penplotter to arrive.
When it does, #blender3d will be my programming environment of choice for my plotter drawings.

I was dreaming of starting a #makerspace again,
and then it hit me:
If we pool all the tools from everyone's garages,
we could have a decentralized network of makerspaces,
one space in every neighborhood.

Do you ever just start over from scratch?
I deleted all the progress in this screencap – it's actually quite freeing.
Better yet, I'll learn #blender3d faster this way, and the drawing I'm designing will turn out even better.
