A series of generative drawings output on an AxiDraw pen plotter. Each composition is grown digitally — topographic contour fields and warped wireframe meshes built in Cinema 4D and Rhino / Grasshopper, then cleaned and pathed in Illustrator — and drawn by the machine as a single continuous ink line onto colored stock, so the plot is a genuine one-pass pen drawing rather than a print. Released as an open edition through my futuremagic shop. Each sheet signed SR 2021.

A series of single-line pen-plotter drawings output on an AxiDraw. Each composition is drawn as vector paths in Adobe Illustrator - contour fields, maze-like offset bands, and organic islands left as negative space - then pen-plotted in black ink onto sheets of translucent white Yupo, a synthetic waterproof paper whose milky, non-absorbent surface lets the ink sit crisp and glossy on top. Hung pinned at the corners off the wall so light passes through the stock and the linework floats. Every drawing is one continuous machine pass, signed in the corner.

A flyer for Your Sunday Best at White Owl Social Club - a daytime-into-evening session with Eddie C, alexi, and residents. The whole sheet is a primary-bright grid of hand-drawn marks: lumpy suns, ribbon waves, and capsule glyphs filled flat in red, blue, green, yellow, and violet with heavy black keylines, printed risograph-rough so the inks sit textured and slightly off-register on a creased paper ground. A wobbly puffed wordmark anchors the top; a starburst "9.14" sets the date. Sunday, September 14th, 2025, 4pm til 11pm.

The concept study for the molecule wall relief at Process. A soft, organic metaball form - overlapping blobs blended into one continuous skin with a hand-worked, clay-like surface - was modeled in Cinema 4D and rendered with Redshift, then composited into the Watershed industrial space to test how the form would read against the venue’s concrete columns and clerestory light before it was scaled up into the dancefloor relief.

A digital concept piece built from a field of soft, organic shapes - a blue ribbon weaving a loose zigzag through scattered vermilion, green, and amber forms with brown pebbles strewn between. Drawn flat in Procreate, then rebuilt as inflated, candy-skinned geometry and rendered in Cinema 4D, finished with a risograph-style halftone grain on a paper-grey ground.

A flyer for Confidant - a late-night warehouse party with a Funktion-One rig and an undisclosed location revealed day-of.

August 2-4, 2024.
