In 1928 the Houston Post-Dispatch and the Remington Rand Business Service sponsored a contest where readers could submit images “drawn” on a typewriter. An image of silent film star and Wild West actor Harry Carey that earned W. Graham Darby, of 106 67th St., the first-place prize: a $60 Remington portable typewriter.

Andrew Belsey:
Bruce Bliven, in his book The Wonderful Writing Machine (New York: Random House, 1954) has a picture of a typewriter artist at work (page 153). There is no explanation of who or what is in the picture. All that Bliven says in the text is that “For some, typing is one of the fine arts” and there have been “fine artists who made typewritten pictures.”
