I often contact artists to see if they’d like to do something public on the big plotter, and I’m often met with silence :). Sometimes though, I meet the rare characters who are completely fine doing something cool just because it’s cool, new, and takes their art in another dimension, oh and by the way there’s $0 to be made for either of us. I appreciate disinterested people, and Irish artist Patrick Boullier is such a person. He kindly provided a high resolution scan of his amazing piece: Runestone of Memory so I could try to turn that into penstrokes for the giant plotter. After several trials and help from Vectorizer.ai (top of the line for SVG tracing), I got somewhere we both felt was good, and so it ran on the big plotter for a week.
As is routine, the public reveal was preceded by several smaller scale trials.
This is an awesome piece on Norse mythology riddled with symbolism. I highly recommend reading the explanation of some of it (scroll down some).
