typewriter art


How much time do you need to have on your hands to master a medium like the typewriter? My guess is that Jorge hasn't got the distractions of cutting-edge computer graphics programs to keep him from achieving his exalted state of medium mastery.

When he goes home from a hard day at the studio, he probably settles down to enjoy his modern entertainment system (below). Lay on a stack of 45s, pussycat, and make me a martini! I want one of these. I've been leafing through the flyers lately as it's finally time to replace our 20+ year old TV (does that make it a 'classic' yet?). The picture is still good by 1980s standards, but with the two wires that attach to screws on the back (it was very forward-thinking technology for 1983) and the push-buttons that were pushed into non-existence by toddlers about 10 years ago we're thinking that an upgrade may be in order. It doesn't even have a remote because that was going to cost an extra $100 that we didn't have at the time. I'm thinking that this beauty is what we need to replace the old RCA. I'm just wondering where to insert the CDs and DVDs.
