For a limited time, we’re offering rare savings on select Bantam Tools Art Machines and Accessories.
These deals run May 15 through May 31. Once inventory is gone, it may be a very long time before you see pricing like this again, possibly never.
Perfect timing for artists, educators, makers, studios, and anyone looking to bring physical drawing and painting into their workflow.
🌑 Once this Blue Moon passes, these prices disappear too.

@jacobjoaquin shared a new work on PlotterFiles and we used the new “Make” feature to produce this version at 18 × 18 inches on the @bantamtools ArtFrame 1824.
Congrats to @stephaniebudmen + @isaacbudmen in addition to having a successful opening at @machineartsgallery they also became members of the ArtFrame panorama club! Pictured here with the team who built this machine and helped load it into their van.
Worth noting, the Panorama pricing includes freighted crate shipping, and if you get a van like these two did and come visit us, we offer separate local pickup pricing, reach out to [email protected] for more info.
Tomorrow Night at @machineartsgallery 6-8pm
Join us for an opening reception with Stephanie Budmen and Isaac Budmen, featuring a new body of panoramic-scale works created with plotted ink on fabric using Bantam Tools art machines.
Their practice is driven by curiosity, experimentation, and discovery. The works on view explore process, repetition, color, and emergence through machine-assisted mark making and material exploration.
Opening Reception
Friday, May 8
6 PM to 8 PM
Peekskill, NY
Free and open to the public.
PlotterFiles has some new features. @msurguy created it and it is now stewarded by the PlotterFiles team at @bantamtools .
New: follow artists, upload makes, built-in tools, and more.
What’s new:
→ “I Made This” — share photos of your plotted results
→ Follow artists and get a personalized feed
→ Built-in tools: Tile Generator, SVG Optimizer, Paper Preview
→ Community challenges
Our first challenge is live now: the 8-Point Tile Challenge. Design a seamless tile, submit it, and it becomes part of a community mosaic for the Bantam Tools Machine Arts Gallery.

This is what it looks like when we experiment with an art form. Sometimes we try a few different approaches before we discover what really resonates.
Always follow your curiosity.
Experiment 1: Yellow ink on paper with pen plotting
Experiment 2: Gouache paint plotting
Experiment 3: Parallel pen plotting
Experiment 4: Fabric dye—plotting on fabric

(⚠️Change of Date) Opening Friday May 8, 6–8 PM
Their work begins in curiosity and unfolds through process, inviting that same sense of curiosity in return.
Machine Arts Gallery 107 S Division St, Peekskill
Kids are always welcome, and this one is especially great for young, curious minds.
“I view datasets as comprising thousands of individual pieces, much like an artist’s series.”
— @ownyourdataset
Karson approaches datasets as constructed, expressive systems, where each image functions as part of a larger body of work. In this series, she uses AI to repair and reconstruct leaves, building a dataset of variations that are then translated into physical drawings on the Bantam Tools #ArtFrame, where computational interpretation meets material output.
Work currently on view at Machine Arts Gallery, work available at the gallery and at bantamtools.com/karson.
“Mapping meaning to matter is key to the art process.”
— Peter Beyls, Material Matters
Using custom software that pulls faces from the New York Times image archive, Beyls translates source material into algorithmic paintings on the Bantam Tools #ArtFrame.
Work currently on view at Machine Arts Gallery and available for acquisition (visit us or dm). On display for one more weekend.
