  Machine Drawing

Started a drawing today -- 2,000,000 lines of movement code to lay down 'squiggle hatching' of 23 overlapping tones using a 'Rolling Writer' pen, hoping there's enough ink in the pen to complete the drawing! I'ts a larger than life portrait of "Sarah" wearing a yukata with an intense pattern all over...





Press the '>' play button when it appears to view a short movie (1.5mb) of the beginning of the project!

oh!
 
Cool!

I'm reminded of the martian canals of the Erich von Daniken books in the 70's.
 
I noticed what looked like a green sheet of plastic surrounding and overlapping the edges of the printing paper. Is that to increase the vacuum effect in order to hold the paper firmly on the bed?
