More #caturday #typewriter #PenPlotter shenanigans. Because @Eggfreckles asked about being the melted cat as pixels.

Turns out the Object Mosaic feature in Illustrator converts raster images to vector โ€˜pixelsโ€™. Made the black ones outlined and sent 42k lines of instructions and here we are :D

Today's #ShittyCameraChallenge camera is the QuickCam VC, introduced in 1998, shaped like an eyeball and maxing out at 320x240 pixel resolution. It's got a manual focus ring that's never quite in focus.

Used an old PowerBook G4 to take the photos. The screen isn't any good outdoors, so I couldn't entirely make out what was and what wasn't in the frame.

Gorgeous na Shock!

@billgoats These look like B-roll from 1980s BBC productions. I love it!
