Worked on two new #plotter drawings last night.
Radiant Labyrinth #1 & #2
Micron pens on bristol.
Lots of tight outward lines that take advantage of slight misalignment between the colors. The center has a small, tight maze pattern.
Both are available at https://shop.andymakes.com/
These were inspired by the paintings of Richard Anuszkiewicz.

i ended up building a lot of functional combinators (joy or factor style) on top of it and was just delighted
honestly, a thin layer on top that lets me e.g. declare constants and reference attributes between nodes etc and i think this is what ive been looking for. i hadnt realized how nice svg was to write directly. it support things like markers (for arrow heads) gradients and other things as well.

niche linux music question
I'm on my second Linux laptop in 3 years, and I am having a hard time getting Windows VSTs to work via wine and airwave. on my last setup I feel like it all worked really consistently? but now I can't get a single VST to work... they just crash in my DAW (renoise) and I don't know if I forgot a step when setting things up or something. does anyone have experience with this pipeline?
the real tragedy of the effort towards better handling of digital Arabic text is that even our loftiest goals are a compromise. most systems can't even do the super basic A in the first image correctly. few can pull off B, allowing letters to stack and bend, preserving some of the flourish and nuance of the script. the second image -- which is still text! -- is just not on the table. it's the kind of thing we're leaving behind to exist on computers.
