I bought a plotter and began using processing, then P5.JS to make things for it to draw. This was really just all for my own amusement and curiosity. Eventually I began selling the drawings I was making on Etsy, and gained some attention by posting regularly on Twitter under #plottertwitter. Now days, that still exists, but the action is also on Discord, Instagram, and Tiktok.

Once I had a little bit of a following, Casey Reas reached out about doing a group exhibition with Feral File that he was curating. That was a big moment. The release was very successful, and I saw that this path could be viable. It took me another year to fully commit to full time art though.

I think just immersing yourself and starting from the ground up is really important. Learn the basics, don't rush it, and educate yourself along the way. Study past plotter artists and pioneers like Vera Molnar and Harold Cohen. Find your style and iterate.
