In 1985, No. 73 gave out a fact sheet on 'Type Art', an artistic practice so skilled that even Neil Buchanan couldn't do it. It involves arranging characters from an ordinary typewriter in such a way that, from a distance, their different densities produce the illusion of an image. It was the forerunner of the colour photographic versions that are popular today (but will very soon become incredibly naff, like those magic eye things before them).

The show's guest artist - don't know his name, sorry - produced this picture of Ethel. To see the picture close up, and marvel at the work that went into it, click on the button below.
