I have tried a number of different things, including selling individual artworks, licensing, commercial projects, and NFTs. By far NFTs have been my bread and butter. Cringe, I know. But past all of the scams, grifters, and bullshit, there

I bought a plotter and began using processing, then P5.JS to make things for it to draw. This was really just all for my own amusement and curiosity. Eventually I began selling the drawings I was making on Etsy, and gained some attention by

Yup, that's me! And congrats on getting a plotter. That's how I got started on this journey too... I heard about plotters for the first time from HN, bought one, then 6 years later it's my focus.

I decided to leave the world of engineering 1.5 years ago to pursue my passion as an artist. Although my salary was a very good, competitive US rate at senior level, my artwork brought in more income for 2 years straight. I decided that it

You can make art with code and make a living from it. Start looking at generative and algorithmic artists for some inspiration. Owning one of these pen plotters (look at the axidraw and next draw) helps too.

I've been following this acquisition closely, as the new machines look great. There are some new homing features, along with upgraded servos. They appear to be in the assembly phase at the moment and are still targeting "spring&qu

Plotters fit so well with generative art. I highly recommend considering purchasing one! In fact, I learned about them on HN in 2018, and now using them to make art is my full time job.

I’m so glad you picked up on that! It was my goal to encourage folks to let their curiosity lead them through the experience. I was quite surprised seeing a few people sit down for 20-30 minutes straight just to use the app… my thought was

Thank you! That was actually close to my first idea for this installation. I wrote some code to re-imagine a raster image as a vector, but I couldn't find a way to keep the detail while also keeping the drawing time below 10-15 minutes

This and social media and almost always the worst possible representation of an artwork. Crunched, cropped and compressed into an inferior version of itself. We’ve forgotten how to appreciate digital artworks.

Axidraw's are pretty much plug and play, and the software support is outstanding with plugins for Inkscape along with a CLI and Python API. There's also Vpype, another piece of FOSS software that can make SVGs plotter friendly. I
