ITs History!
The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

New video! A decade before Adobe #Photoshop, one company made a bespoke computer whose artistic capabilities helped define the look of 80s and 90s TV shows, music videos, and print media. So why don't we call digital photo manipulation "being Paintboxed?"

It feels odd that I haven't yet posted any #crochet pictures as it's my main creative outlet. My main obsession over the last couple years has been designing and making #amigurumi bears. I have to be a bit careful with how many I do and break it up with shawls, blankets, jumpers etc as my hands don't love it but here are a few of my favourites (designs are all by me and my go to yarn is #paintbox cotton). Most are made as gifts for family/friends or just because I fancy a challenge

Close up picture of two tan coloured crochet bears seated on an outside patio table with greenery in the background. the front queen inspired bear has a purple and gold crown with bead details and a white fluffy trim as well as a bead purl necklace, a blue sash and purple robe with white fur trim. The bear further back is modelled on a UK Palace Guard and has a tall fluffy back hat, red jacket with bead and gold details and black boots

A tan colour bear with a brown pilots jacket and hat with goggles, he has a cream scarf and embroidered wings details on the jacket. He is sat outside on a clear and sunny day with a Union Jack flying in the background
