Drawing Machine Time-Lapse

Link Hat Tip Comment

Sped up footage of drawings being created by one of artist James Nolan Gandy’s mechanical drawing machines. A complex series of gears, pulleys, and belts drives the pen mechanism to create spirograph-like images. Check out more of his images and videos on his Instagram page.

New realms of ratios. This is a visual representation of a mechanical process. All pulleys and gears. No computers. Ballpoint on paper. #organicgeometry #analog #drawingmachine

Feeling blue? Then this is for you. Four cycles in this pattern, strangely the paper-table only makes three revolutions. #analog #drawingmachine #geometricart #mechanicalart #mechanicaldrawing #organicgeometry #ratio #drawing

Possibly the cleanest drawing yet. No backlash or skipped lines and the moire is tight. #analog #drawingmachine #mechanicaldrawing #ratio #geometricart #mechanicalart #drawing #superclean #moire
