Rugs and dhurries by Inigo Elizalde, from his COLLECTION III series. Photos from COVER. More pictures on his website.
Made 800 years ago by the Pueblo peoples. The style has been called Mesa Verde Black-on-White, and Snowflake Black-on-White (not sure if it’s the same thing?).
Printed log-in screens from Phantasmal Alchemy, an Atari BBS in the mid 1980s. Made in Atari’s own ascii-standard ATASCII.
The BBS started rather humbly, but eventually grew to encompass a large assortment of 8-bit hardware, including two 20MB hard drives. Which, for Atari 8-bit stuff was pretty much infinite storage back then. :) The BBS was quite popular in Southeastern Connecticut, and I met many people through the BBS that I am still friends with to this day.
