My collection of personal plotter generative art sketches made with vsketch and whiskers. Sketches made with vsketch can generally be run and interacted with using the following command:
$ vsk run hlineSome additional dependencies might be needed, including but not limited to:
The sketches made with whiskers can be run and interacted with using the following commands:
$ cd hex_cells
$ cargo run --releaseA working installation of Rust is needed.
Disclaimer: Though I wrote it, note that this code doesn't necessarily match my standards—here the end justifies the means :)

My #ptpx23 postcards. First sketch made with whiskers on this repo.
Quick and dirty sketch to serve as banner for my article on layers, vpype, and the Axidraw.
Tribute to Susan Kare's iconic work on the early Macintosh. These were my #ptpx22 postcards. Made with vpype-pixelart.
A quick-and-dirty snowflake generator for Xmas giftwrap decoration.
Rotating earth, 280-frame loop I made to illustrate my article on the Automatic #plotloop Machine.
Here is a video of the process:
And the resulting loop:
Hyperspace jump, 200-frame loop made automatically with a couple of Raspberry Pi, some LEGOs and a Doit script.

17 letters for 17 recipients. This is my winter '21-'22 #ptpx contribution.
Helper sketch to create postcards with addresses and a custom message. Very useful for #ptpx.
Instructions:
- Create the following files next to the sketch script:
-
addresses.txt: all the addresses, separated by two new lines -
header.txt: header text (typically, your address) -
message.txt: postcard message, may contain$FirstName$ , which will be replaced as you expect
- Run the sketch:
vsk run postcard - Adjust the parameters and your message until everything looks good, then save a configuration (
my_config) - Export all SVGs:
vsk save --config my_config --param addr_id 0..8 postcard(adjust the address ID range as needed)
Added Jan. 2023: support for bitmap font rendering using the Monocraft font:
Small experiment which combined the neon module sets with some deformation filter that would eventually become the squiggles command.
My design for early 2021 #ptpx. The config for the 9 cards I made are included in the repo.
Just a bunch of dots drawn with vsk.point() on a regular grid. Sometime they are skipped, sometime in a different color.
That's 500k Perlin noise values obtained in a single call of noise().
