thank you very much !

thanks ! my initial inspiration comes mainly from the pioneer’s plates and the golden record of voyager but there is a bit of arecibo inside indeed :)

thanks :)

here: https://juliencatanese.bigcartel.com i just have one print left of this one available but i wait paper for new repress soon. (Dm for reservation if it’s already sold out)

hahaha, thanks mate ! :D

I really like this! The colors of the ink, paper, frame, and even the wall look great together!

thank a lot :) the frame and the wall come from a mock up I haven’t actually framed it yet :)

it is a mixture of abstract elements with occult/sci-fi connotations and scientific diagrams or more figurative or symbolic elements. there are elements relating to cosmology, astronomy, topography/geology. the element carbon, its simplified atomic model. a molecule of “chnops” the building blocks of life, a representation of bacterial life and various abstract elements. everything arranged in such a way as to have a homogeneous and graphically coherent egnimatic whole.

thanks ! I do the research using drawings in a notebook, but they are more sketches of elements, of symbols. I create the composition in vector on Adobe Illustrator then using a transfert medium from liquitex , I transfer my printed composition onto my linoleum plate. I then engrave my plate manually. approximately 90 percent of the plaque is hollowed out.

thank you ! yep, these are the metallic inks from canfield color. they are beautiful ! :)

thanks :)

thanks a lot :)

I buy my frames from “castorama” I think they must be located in Belgium. They have a range of glass frames and aluminum borders (black, aluminum or light wood color) that are quite sober with good value for money. It’s not very high-end but for 45 euros the glass frame is quite suitable. I can’t stand plexi frames and I can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a frame either. personally they suit me well. It’s up to you to get an idea in a store if you find one.

Sounds like you’re a perfectionist. I like it.

thanks mate !

here’s what I see when I’m on my profile but I think you’re not the only one who doesn’t see the links appear

here it is just in case : Website

Gorgeous! That was an immediate buy. Any tips on where to get a nice frame?

thank you very much ! :) personally I use glass frames with a thin border (no more than 1 cm) black or gold. A varnished wood that tends towards gold as in the photo could also be very suitable…being in France, I leave it to someone else to worry about where to find it :)

Yep, my website link is on my profile

Thanks a lot ! I love the control flow graph.

Your rectangular pieces would work really well as deskmats

indeed, it could. I have already seen an artist with a fairly similar style who had cast his plaque in epoxy resin to make a desk

That is really impressive and a lot more hours than I’d thought

thank you, I work slowly and I like my plates to be impeccable. which adds a certain number of hours not necessarily necessary to the final result. but for me it is important.

Even if you don’t go down the programming angle, your style seems ripe to incorporate things like PCB traced/layout. In the olden days, layouts were done by hand and some had a bit of artistic flare and were generally single layer with jumpers to hop over other traces as necessary. Something from the 80s through the early aughts will have a lot more straight lines, but there’s still a lot of interesting geometry. Multi-layer PCBs were becoming more prevalent, but most limited to two. Modern designs are very dense and often span way more than 2 layers, but if you were to find the right thing (PCB antennas maybe?) it could make for something interesting.

thank you, yes this is the aspect of computing that you were talking about. It’s really interesting visually. and indeed it would very much appreciate an engraving around electronics and computing. I just saw images of hand-drawn maps in the 70s, the absence of straight lines gives an almost organic effect. it contrasts with recent printed circuits. I’ll keep that in mind for the future !
