Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

a thread about the economics of DIY publishing and indie creators from my project manager (and friend) Glenn F.
My friend @tomtomorrow.bsky.social (Dan) couldn’t get his long-time compilation publisher to bite on a new collection. Despite his fervent readership. Despite selling previous collections. Despite raising > $300K in 2015 and going into a second printing for a 25th anniversary mega-set.
