Hi all! Been away for a while and didnt want to seem like a one post wonder. Thought id show you a new affect that ive been tinkering with. Its just cutting one piece of vinyl into different size dots. its a bit of a begger to weed and i have to admit i wasnt expecting it to look good but I think it came out great!
Hope you like!

cool! How did you do it?

You can do much the same thing with horizontal or vertical, or any other direction, lines of varying thickness and it becomes a whole hell of a lot easier to weed.

Flexi even has a tool for it. This technique predates the halftone and photography in general.

Really? I dont see how that could work with a constant line unles it goes from thin to thick as it goes down but surely nothing would ever be left compleatly white? - dunno if you understand what im talking about but im really crap at explaining things.

We did this with cross hatching, lines in stead of halftones. weeded alot easier. Glad we have printers so I never have to do it again......

Here's a 30 second really rough sample.

I like that! Not to sure if the effect would look so good on the side of a van though. The effect which is done in a Application called Raster looks much cleaner when you are close up.
