learned how to use a vinyl cutter today…

today I got a hands-on demo of the vinyl cutter that’s living at the hackerspace.  so far I’m impressed + excited at the possibilities – stenciling, circuit board etching, large-scale wall drawing installation, etc.  using a vector image, the process is a lot easier than what I experienced w/ the CNC process. different mediums + applications, sure – but as far as bringing digital art data into physical space, this seems fairly painless.

now I just have to resist the urge to cut out hundreds of miniature stardotstar vinyl stickers in super hot pink…
