Type me…

I went up to WImbledon Village this morning to get a change of scenery. I wanted to fix up my script a little (a lot), but it was too hard to focus at home. So I sat down at a coffee shop. As always, Twitter opened up as my start page. I wanted a picture of a typewriter for a tweet, so I googled typewriters, and discovered Michael Mullan’s work (first image below).

Vintage Typewriter. By Michael Mullan. Check out his website –here-.

I was really inspired by Mullan’s illustration. When I got back home, I noticed my own typewriter sort of calling out for me. “Draw me, draw meeee…” And I didn’t want to be rude, so I kicked open Photoshop and made myself a little sketch. It’s not my finest work, but it was a nice inspirational kickstart.

Original drawing. The paper looked a bit too out of place with nothing on it, so I added the “How?”.

Here’s just a little experiment with a different background.
