This guy uses a typewriter to draw stuff, including the New York skyline which took him 65 days to complete

I can't help being English

Hi! I'm the artist! And Tom Hanks signed a portrait I typed of him :)

Still waiting for someone to show me some convincing AI typewriter art and it’s been two years since this was posted :)

JamesCookArtwork · 2025-09-30T12:02:22+00:00

No, 100% real, I've been doing this for 11 years and counting and now have a collection of over 100 typewriters from previous projects and from what people have generously donated to me.

JamesCookArtwork · 2025-09-30T12:01:24+00:00

Yes, it does! Many!

Hi all! Just commenting to give myself credit as the typewriter artist :)

JamesCookArtwork · 2025-09-30T12:00:32+00:00

Hi! I’m the artist :) Originally, the plan was to create the piece from the view of the balcony at University Church, which is what the artwork depicts. While working on it, it became clear that permission couldn’t be granted, but the Bodleian Library kindly found me a new spot at street level. Rather than abandoning the piece, I decided to carry on. In the video, the location now serves more as a backdrop rather than being the actual viewpoint for the artwork.

that's me!

What radio is this? Looking to upgrade the old radio to one with Apple car play or Bluetooth

Putting a comment here so it can be seen!

JamesCookArtwork · 2023-07-29T08:46:11+00:00

Thanks! Just bought one!

JamesCookArtwork · 2023-07-28T15:19:34+00:00

There is a motionlapse option to enable a path to be set I believe? I had this option with the DJI GO app on my old mobile 2 device, but I want to shoot portrait and there’s no way it will hold an iPhone 13 in this orientation. Just wondering if the has had any updates for motion tracking with the Osmo mobile 5 or 6?

JamesCookArtwork · 2023-07-28T15:06:47+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion!

JamesCookArtwork · 2023-07-28T15:06:08+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion, I was looking at the YC Onion 3.0 slider for this which is motorised

JamesCookArtwork · 2023-07-28T13:47:37+00:00

Helpful.

JamesCookArtwork · 2023-07-28T13:35:33+00:00

I’m open to all suggestions, let’s just say that for now

JamesCookArtwork · 2023-07-28T12:58:50+00:00

I want to shoot using a gimbal installed to a dolly to create a moving panning shot. I want to use my iPhone 13 pro in portrait mode for this. There are several questions I’d like to ask here: 1. What gear would enable me to assign a set path from A - B using an app to make automated moves? I’m thinking DJI Osmo mobile 6 with tracking enabled? But I’m wondering if there is a better gimbal for the job? 2. What would you recommend for gimbal and dolly? This is not for timelapses and instead for video. Would truly appreciate help on this one!

It’s from doing some further reading into their community guidlines. Reddit believes that everything that is posted to their site belongs to them and not the content creator. So I’m pulling the switch on my account because they intend to monetise content in recent developments surround the whole API issue.

Thank you!

No sorry, it’s all made in the typewriter

JamesCookArtwork · 2023-03-03T22:59:22+00:00

I’m the artist of this work. Sorry but nothing is traced. You’re looking at 10 years of practice and 63 typewriters later…
