I finally took my new axidraw SE/A1 for a drive. Plotting in large format presents new challenges, but the result is completely worth it.
This map was largely motivated by a recent cross-country trip. The question, always in my mind, was: where are all the tunnels in the US? The answer is clear from this map. The US doesn’t do tunnels. It does valleys and mountain passes.
Back to some kinematics! All spruced up with a tangential fill pattern.
Ok, I promise, last plotterTwitter co-opting wood burning on an axidraw for a while. Testing out these bad boys is getting expensivo. Just some good ol’ perlin-noised rings.
“Collatz’s branches”
Only now figuring out how to make the best of wood-burning multi-passes to control brightness levels.
Back to some axidraw powered pyrography.
“tree of life”
I finally had the time to plot this onto a single, 130cm long banner. Doing it seamlessly is not impossible.

Putting to rest a recent obsession with the original DOOM with a little homage. All the maps. “E1M1 to E3M9”. Made with inkscape, axidraw and good memories.
“Raging eye.” A bit of p5js, some glossy markers (different sizes), and plenty of apophenia.
Excellent job @branchwelder. Honored to be included in such an impressive cohort of #plotterTwitter fellows!
