Getting things ready for my #PenPlotter exhibit at #VCFEast2025 this weekend. Spent the day plotting this poster on the Roland DPX 2000. I added some color splashes to it this year.

If you come to the show, you’ll see this plotter in action plus a few others.

A Roland DPX 2000 pen plotter with a completed poster titled The Plot Thickens: Pen Plotter History and Artistry.

An oblique view of the poster showing some color splashes of pen plotter artwork.

This is still a CMY Delaunay Triangles on Waves but with a slightly distorted shading giving it a shaggy texture.

An abstract pen plot on white paper in portrait orientation of tightly packed triangles arranged in a subtle wave pattern from upper left to lower right each hatch shaded with a different color from overlapping cyan, yellow, and magenta inks. The shading is disorganized so it has a shaggy, fuzzy texture about it.

Available in my shop: https://shop.paulrickards.com/truchet-tiles/

An abstract pen plot on white paper of a grid of quarter arcs that sometimes connect to create larger curves, crossing over and under each other. The pen strokes of cyan, yellow, and magenta combine to create secondary colors of red, green, violet, and black. Some areas are void of certain colors or any pen strokes at all. The outer perimeter has horizontal and vertical lines drawn at random lengths that give the illusion of loose ends.
