👨‍🎨 Dan Catt is a pen plotter artist, who traverses the boundaries of math, technology and design, to create distinct, abstract artworks. He collaborates with drawing machines and the computer, using code to generate lines, patterns and shapes - interpreting and manipulating the algorithms to ‘breed’ new forms that are aesthetically beautiful.

Shaky handheld cam in full effect this week, sorry. Perhaps when the studio sells I'll get a camera with stabilisation in 🫨

[@metaphysicalArtist]

@5:20 Cursive!! ........super Excellent !!

[@revdancatt]

Thanks, it's getting there!

[@markbenson4263]

A to Z joined up is impressive!

[@revdancatt]

Yeah, that's a really fun one, a single line of joined up letters, was super satisfying.

[@markg890]

Your handwriting algorithm is so successful. My own approach was far, far simpler in comparison. I just tried to focus on all letters connecting at approximately the same angle and point. Yours looks so natural. Now, if only the plotter could vary the pen angle and pressure! (I have wondered if you could extend the Axidraw API to vary the speed mid-path). I also like how you make things so modular, where you're not making a piece of art or writing, you're making a tool to make art and writing.
Again: bravo!

[@revdancatt]

Thanks, this was super satisfying to do, but totally over the top!! Simpler is generally always better, lol. But yeah I do have a system now I can throw pretty much anything at and have it write for me. Hand cramp is now a thing of the past! 😁

[@MarcsYoutube]

Very nice! Did you digitalize your handwriting yourself or did you have it done somewhere?

[@revdancatt]

This was all done myself, I wrote out LOTS of letter combinations on an eInk tablet, then converted that into a series of points that then get used in code to create new letters.

[@PatrickRF]

@@revdancatt Can you make a video on this process?

[@revdancatt]

@@PatrickRF Yup, that's the plan.
