This Mohawk Church (sometimes called a chapel) is located in Ontario. It is the oldest, still standing, church in Ontario. People can visit the church but are not allowed to take photographs without written permission. I found photographs of the church online. But, I used an old illustration from the 1800’s to make my ASCII art of the church.… Read the rest
I found several (some I had not heard of before) books about and with typewriter art online, at the Internet Archive. They are a lot to look through and I’m glad someone else had the job of digitally preserving them, and I’m really glad they did!

The Constant Rediscovery of the Typewriter as an Artistic Medium

What do you think about when you think about the Olympic Games?
I think about the history of the Olympics, the people who have come and gone as athletes, family and friends, coaches.
