Generative Pen Plotter Art

Algorithmic sketches for the Bantam NextDraw. Experiments in creating art with code and a pen plotter. A gallery of raw SVG images is here. The page below shows each of the projects starting with my first projects.

Grid & Geometry Plot

01 - Grid Primitives

Testing basic shapes, margins, and pen pressure using nested loop structures on an A5 canvas.

Moiré Patterns

02 - Moiré Patterns

Optical illusions through high precision. Overlapping concentric circles and radiating lines.

Noise Flow Fields

03 - Noise Flow Fields

Simulating particle paths over a 2D Perlin noise vector field to create natural, organic flows.

Hatching Gradients (Pending)

04 - Hatching Gradients

Creating shading and dimension using tight clusters of straight lines instead of halftones.

L-System Fractals (Pending)

05 - Recursive Fractals

Space filling curves and branching botanical forms pushing sharp, precise plotter maneuvers.
