Art from my pre-computer days--large views

Pre-Computer art by Russell D. Hoffman--Large Views

There are definitely some similarities between these images and some of the random computerized art also exhibited at this web site. I drew these images mainly in the late 1970's. I have scanned them in at relatively low resolution for presentation here. There are high-resolution TIFF images of these available, each about 4 megabytes in size, except one (template.tif) which is 25 megabytes. (Please contact us if you would like to purchase a large format image.)

Computer Template (detail only)
Ball-point Pen. Text was drawn in reverse-image, so don't think your computer is on the fritz. This was obviously just as I was 'getting into' computers (actually, drawn while listening in class).
