That's pretty cool, but I don't understand the color one. Did he do that on a typewriter?

I noticed that too I really don't know how he did that but I know that there used to be colored ribbons for typewriters years ago maybe that's how it's done.
 
I just looked at his website and found an article about him. He was an art student, and a class had students investigate how artists have used technology over time. He came upon the story of an artist (Paul Smith) who had cerebral palsy, and whose parents bought him a typewriter since he was unable to hold pencils, brushes, etc. Smith (born in the early 1900s) made typewriter art.

I read that Cook incorporates words into some of his art.

Fascinating stuff. I would never have guessed it to be from a typewriter. I got lots of questions regarding technique, shading, etc.
 
I once saw a Madonna (the saint, not the singer) portrait done on the side of a brick building, completely out of beer and soda bottle caps. For the life of me, I can't remember exactly where it was but it might have been somewhere in New Mexico.
