The dogcow jumped over the moon!

I made a floppy clock with custom plotted numbers in Chicago and Clarus.

A 5.25” black floppy disk with blue clock movement arms in the center with numerals pen plotted in silver in Chicago font with smooth Clarus at the 12 position. It’s on a background of Apple logo color stripes.

These floppy disks look like they’re from the set of Severance.

It's the most wonderful time of the year: ! I love using floppy disks as a medium to plot on as well as a subject of my pen plots.

Here's a selection of 5.25" floppy disk plots available in my shop =)
