If you like my art and want to enjoy it in your home, I have an online shop where you can browse and purchase my works created with modern code and vintage pen plotters. I ship worldwide. #PenPlotter #RetroComputing #MastoArt https://shop.paulrickards.com/
Some principles that guide my artwork:
➡️ I don’t use AI in my art, nor participate in anything crypto because of the moral, ethical, and environmental issues they impose.
➡️ I use Python, using as few public libraries as possible, opting to write it myself to both learn and have more control.
➡️ I repair and use vintage plotters to give equipment a second life and divert from e-waste.
➡️ I don’t judge others— you do you! ❤️
Life as an artist is tough! It's difficult to be a solo artist plus the product team, advertising team, sales team, and fulfillment team! The roles are difficult to go between sometimes.
I've put together a list of ways to support what I do, both artistic and #RetroComputing. If you have the means to purchase something or donate, that's wonderful! But there's also no-cost ways to support as well. ❤️
