When I was a kid we remembered the great lakes with the mnemonic device HOMES. Now we can remember them with the word SHAME.

I buy this gum sometimes - it's colored on one side and white on the other - and when I open a new pack I always take a moment to appreciate which of the 65,536 possible arrangements I got.

Hello again to anyone out there still reading my tweets. Here's another recent pen plot. Dr Ph Martin's Black Star Matte ink, Strathmore Mixed Media 11"x14", AxiDraw V3/A3. #plotter #plotterart #genartclub

I haven't been on this platform in a long time. I used to engage with a lot of artists and I miss it. I wonder if anyone is still out there. Here's a recent pen plotter piece. #plotter #genartclub #generativeart

Hello anyone out there who may still see my posts - I am going to keep this account open for now, but I'm also going to Bluesky. Instead of using my rectangleworld handle, I decided to use my real name. I'll be happy to connect with you there. bsky.app/profile/dangries.bs…

Is Processing still being actively developed? It seems the energy is moving towards p5js, but maybe I'm wrong. P5 is really wonderful but I sure hope Processing won't be left out - there's so much more I can do with it compared to p5. @ProcessingOrg @p5xjs #processing #p5js

Plotter artists out there (and anyone else using technical pens!) - what inks are you using with your Rotring Isograph pens? Find out what is lightfast and OK for tech pens is confusing! I specifically want olive green. #rotring #isograph #ink #plottertwitter #penandink

Hey look I know the past tense of "read" is spelled "read" and there is a metal called "lead" but the past tense of "to lead" is spelled "led" so please try to get that right.

Plotter artists! What are your thoughts and experiences with the lightfastness and longevity of the works you are producing? In particular I'm concerned about a few plots I made with Stabilo 88 pens, maybe others. #plottertwitter #plotterart #plotter #axidraw

It seems Pigma Micro pens are lightfast. I guess it's something to pay attention to when considering pens and inks. I don't know enough about art materials to know if I can protect the work with a UV coating.

Certainly artists who are experienced with these materials know all about this, but a lot of us are coming from the digital world and we're newbies. Apparently inks are either dyes or pigments, and pigments are usually lightfast.

If anyone out there has a few bucks to spare, this single mom could use your help. So many of their possessions had to be trashed, and insurance won't cover it. RTs appreciated. Fundraiser by Jennifer Lawson : Toxic Mold Exposure Illness gofund.me/a5173616
