Octopus Typewriter

Look at that thing! It's just beautiful.

You know, back in the old days, everyone had to work on one of these beauties. They'd make the most beautiful clacking and slithering sounds. And the sensation of a tentacle sucker popping on your skin . . . well, they don't make typewriters like this 1938 Underwood anymore. And we lost something wonderful when they did.

Courtney Brown, an artist in Oakland, calls her sculpture "Self Organization." It's on display at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art until November 15. You can see more photos at Colossal.
