Typewriter art

"This isn't your everyday art, this art is made with old fashion typewriters."
Keria Rathbone is a British artist who doesn't use pencils, clay, paints or other tools associated with art. By pushing the letters, numbers and punctuation marks she can create awesome portraits with her typewriters.

Since her collection of typewriters she uses are manual , she controls how dark or light the shade can be and where she wants to type bar to line up.

She is an amazing artist who also does live shows to show off her skills and the process of how these are created. LINK
Check out more of her portraits at her website.

History of the typewriter through vocal sound effects

This is Michael Winslow, the "man of 10,000 sound effects," taking us through the history of the typewriter. Absolutely incredible. Of course, Winslow is perhaps most famous for his role in the Policy Academy movies. (Via: Dangerous Minds!), Via: Boingboing, Via: Vimeo

"Jeremy Mayer"

b.1972
Born in rural northern Minnesota
He disassembles typewriters and then reassembles them into full-scale human figures, sometimes encasing them in clear casting resin. He does not solder, weld, or glue; the process is entirely cold, mechanical assembly. He also does charcoal drawings based on ideas about biotech and nanotech.
He is interested in time spent and the future. He uses CAD and 3D programs to do the studies of his drawings (backwards, He knows), which essentially are studies for sculptures that He cannot afford to make. The typewriter pieces take about 1200 hours for a full-scale human figure.
Any long-winded tirades about recycling or nostalgia for mechanical machines would be absolute bullshit, and He is renowned for bullshitting . He was broke and bored when it all came to him. The romantic high ideals that people have about art are moronic. Art is a disease and a curse if you do it for the right reasons.
He tries his best not to fill the world with more contrived and saccharine shit. LINK
