I do hope the studio stuff will be sorted and takes the pressure of. Thanks to Kitty's persistence you did a lot more than you thought. So Kitty is a great addition to your workflow. There' sone thing that comes to mind, you plan things and do you leave gaps where you can do nothing or anything you want. It stimulates creativity having blocks of time with no obligations. The jury duty messed up your planning and scheme, luckily that done now I presume.

Well that book goes onto the xmas Wishlist.

Awh I feel very honoured - spotted a few of my little bits and bobs in your gallery! I enjoyed Weeknots - have a fab weekend :)

Hey Dan, appreciate your videos. Did you ever make the video you mentioned at the end of this video?

AUDIO VERSION 😁 This is supposed to be an audio version of my newsletter. But recording a video was the easiest way for me to edit it, so I figured I'd upload the video too, but it's not really supposed to be a video!

love this review dan!

Hi, I really like the pen plotting patterns you’ve created. You mentioned that these patterns are outputs of "preseed." Could you please elaborate on what you mean by that? I’m not familiar with the term and couldn’t find a satisfactory explanation online. Is it some sort of code or program? I would appreciate any help you can provide. I’m new to these concepts and trying to piece together information from various sources to get a complete picture. Thank you!

Loved to see the postcard from Groningen

I'm glad to have a WeekNots even when a WeekNotes doesn't work out. I'm surprised you're rolling to quarternotes instead of saying "jury duty weeks don't count; this is not actually week x; it's not a week at all".

I really love the variety that comes from such simple elements arranged randomly. Cool designs.

Normal service, whatever that is, shall resume next week! Probably.

It's been fun following your handwriting journey with Kitty. Any plans to share the code for randomizing the letters?

Hi, great video. Do you think it it possible to use it with a calligraphy pencil as well? And do you think it would be wise to use a font that is calligraphy then? Thanks

I don't know you but I've seen so many of your videos. The change in mood from 0:15 to 1:30 about jury duty is clear. The intro to the newsletter isn't great either. Just hoping physically/mentally you're doing OK. Sending my best wishes.

Short but sharp

You know I love what you do and how you do it, but can I just say how impressed I am at the very lovely clear desk you have for planning on?! DREAMS CAN COME TRUE

Great set of videos, Dan. I'm really new to fxhash and find it pretty daunting, but your overviews are making it seem a lot less scary! Many thanks 👍

Jury duty this week, so things are, errr, a little different.

Can you explain what database you store all your answers in? I am trying to figure out how to chat with ChatGPT but have it save all that data so it can turn it into a biography or answer questions about all the stories I tell it.

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!

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

A to Z joined up is impressive!

Mrs is a teacher, can I get this for her 😂

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

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

Hi Dan, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for your incredible work in generative digital art and the transformation of your digital creations into physical art with a pen plotter. Your pieces are truly inspiring! I'm very interested in learning more about this art form and was hoping you could guide me in the right direction. I have a DIY pen plotter that I built, and I’d love to enhance its value by diving deeper into the generative art process. Specifically, I’m eager to learn about the software and coding techniques used in this field. Could you recommend any resources or provide some advice on where to start? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated as I look to contribute to this exciting field. Thank you so much!

Have you tried this with shimmer, sheen or shading inks?

looking cool

The book on the desk sparked my interest. Looks nice the book Murdle

Nice

This week was all about handwriting progress, we're getting there, so close now!

Dan, this makes my head hurt... but my heart race 🥰

Again - I don't know exactly what this is, but I love it!

Your videos are superb, with fantastic music and editing. I am surprised it has only 7.3k subscribers. It deserves more. Greetings from Poland. I've been to Shrewsbury while I was working at Ellesmere.

First! Have a good weekend Dan.

Got back onto the handwriting stuff today, and a big old bit about books.

Optimized fot what criteria?

Thats siiick 😮❤

What is this? Im not even sure what is going on, but i love it!

Woahh that looks so cool!

Keep going man thats amazing❤

very nice robot art you got there 👌👌👍

Should of done all blue I like the pattern

I like it when you use chunky pens! Very satisfying.

Could you advise how to tighten the belts I keep getting drift in the x axis can't figure why

super interesting. thanks for this!

Very good explanation why you do week notes and the benefits you and we as an audience have of them. Thanks. How did the exam of your son go and how's the space cadet? btw I'm looking forward to the plotter tutorials.
