Blogless: Blog of Design Less Better.

Bill Hinz

This morning, I'm admiring these pen plots by textile artist Bill Hinz.

Plotters predate modern inkjet printers. Since they use mounted pens, the line is crisper — and yet tiny imperfections creep in. Pens wobble; ink overlaps. It’s a drawing, not a printout.

So, although the piece is generated by a computer program, it has a warmer, more analog feel. Like an LP record played through a tube amplifier.
