I’m intrigued by how he achieved the hand-drawn sketchy line style look in his early 80s work when so much computer art was geometric lines or Mandelbrot sets


Some of them seem to have been drawn with a plotter.


I saw several plotter-based AARON demos in the 90s. It was interesting and the sketchy line style was nice but not itself impressive. There were many add-ons to CAD software for instance to render drawings in various "hand drawn" looks for reviewing drafts with clients or delivering them as part of the visualizations. I even remember a pen plotter that my dad had that had thick highlighters in some slots for doing color elevation renders
