Blair Neal: Attention Graph

DESCRIPTION

Blair Neal, Attention Graph, 2024, 12″x18″, Pen Illustration via Pen Plotter Machine

Value: $150

Starting Bid: $75

This piece, “Attention Graph,” is part of an exploration of using a pen plotter (essentially a simple robot that can draw with different tools) to create complex drawings from hand drawn abstract images he created. This piece is based of a digital drawing that originally took about 72 hours to make over the course of a year. The original drawing was then converted using a custom process, and then printed by the pen plotter using different types and weights of pens. The final piece explores the intersections between hand-drawn digital art and mechanical reproduction.
