type-drawing



I got a typewriter from Esme for my birthday and started playing about on it last night.




I'm wanting to produce some type of drawing with it and these are some tests to see how the machine works and reacts to my insanely vigourous key bashing. I think these look like some kind of landscape...

Several things about the process interested me: It is difficult to compose a drawing while only having a small proportion of the paper on view, using your memory to try to fill in something that is hidden away around the other side of the roller...If i go tits with the same key over and over again on the same spot, the print goes through to the other side of the paper, a kind of reverse drawing... to do anything takes fucking ages...fun though.
