After having used the Polargraph robotic drawing device for over two years, I finally got to know its creator, Sandy Noble, in person. Sandy’s stumbled into electronics somewhat by chance, and today stands out to me as one of its many rolemodels: his care for open-source projects goes the extra mile, his craft thinking incorporates ethical aspects of material resources, plus he constantly questions the dynamics of analog and digital relationships. Today was an awesome day.

Today i made another samurai head with the assistance of my newly upgraded drawing robot. Took me a while to rebuild it; but im very pleased with the results. It was also fun to paint and detail at the same time lines where appearing. . . . . . . . #2022 #china #drawbot #polargraph #empireofsamurai #art #plotter #plotterart https://www.instagram.com/p/CgEXHODpopm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Post-printshop work as a printmaking educator differs from “traditional” work flows by alternating intensely condensed remote workshops, impostor syndrome teaching in a shop that’s not your own, where nothing is where one expects it, but in a different drawer / shelf / box, and then long stretches of mind-numbing email-only days, imaginary (or real? who knows in these days of augmented reality) tumble weed rolling through the office. Not a healthy flow of work in the long run. The above works were printed with Sandy Noble’s polargraph drawing machines, using oil-based ink pens, on three sheets of Fabriano Rosaspina (never forget), so the work’s total size is 210x100cm. Then using my beloved Rohrer & Klingner tusche inks to hand-colour the prints, until sick of doing so. Sometimes using some Polychromos pens or some Caran d’Ache pencils for colouring parts instead.
