are they drawings or prints?

yes. they are both! they are drawings in that a pen moved over the paper and left a trail of ink. but the pen was moved by a machine not a human hand. and like for prints, it can do it the same way again and again to produce multiple copies of the artwork. it is this situation that is interesting to me—it gets at the uncanny relation between humans and machines. it touches on the question of why the hand of the artist is fetishized. and that is why i make limited editions.

what number print will i get?

you will find out when the print arrives.

what plotter do you use?

i use the Axidraw V3/A3 from Evil Mad Scientist .

what program do you use?

i write my own software using processing and java. these programs output the art as digital files—in either vector or raster formats. a vector file is used for making pen plotter drawings. inkscape reads the vector files and has an extension that drives the Axidraw machine.

can i do x, y, or z, with your art?

i wish you wouldn't, at least not without asking permission first. I retain the copyright to my work, so if you want to reproduce it beyond what is considered "fair use", please contact me first. details are in the Terms of Sale.

how do you price the work?

the price takes into account the size of the print, the materials, and the complexity of the production. if a piece takes longer to print the price is higher. if it has multiple layers and different colors it will cost more.

what is onetwothree?

easy as 123: it's a shorthand for step by step instructions. that's how computers work—well, sort of ... back in the day, some computing languages, like BASIC and FORTRAN, used line numbers as targets for branching and looping. so, it's an allusion to that and a metaphor for computer programing in which we create stepwise instructions for the machine.
