American painter Tyree Callahan converted old typewriter from 1930s into a machine that prints colors instead of letters.
Characters on the keys were replaced with colors and paint blocks were attached to typebars. Now you can type a painting on a color typewriter.

This is neat :) I feel like it would take a long time to finish a painting this way rather then just painting it with a brush.

The infinite monkey theorem and the Mona Lisa come to mind.

THIS IS INGENIOUS! I would use it more for awesome abstract paintings.
IDEA: You could see what colours certain quotes or books were by typing it out on this.

@Douglas: funny!
@Karen: that’s a sweet idea!
You’d hafta really concentrate or it would look like random abstract stuff; think little kids pounding on keyboard..
