Chromatic typewriter types works of art A typewriter that paints? Artist Tyree Callahan modified this 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter to do just that, replacing each key with a different hue that can paint on paper.

View all So, how did he come up with the idea to create the typewriter, and once he had that idea how did he turn it into a reality? How did you come up with the idea for the typewriter? The idea for the Chromatic Typewriter came about one day in the studio as I was struggling along with a watercolor. How did you put the idea together? It took a few months to find this one [the typewriter]. The piece was intended to be purely conceptual, but I do have a confession: as I was applying paint to the keys I could not resist trying it out. The additional challenge, however, was the layout of colors. The colors were chosen from an HTML color palette chart available online.

Lamborghini Madura by Slavche Tanevski One Sharp Black Lambo From the darkest depths of the design mind of the one called Slavche Tanevski comes THIS! The Lamborghini *Ankonian. It’s black. And I don’t mean flashy in any kind of bad way. It’s not quite “green,” but it’s does have that sort of environmental friendliness in mind with it’s downsisedness. + Does this car look familiar to anyone? *NOTE from Chris Burns: originally I’d had this car marked “Madura”, when in fact it is called the Ankonian. Designer: Slavche Tanevski
