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

American lab is developing a BAT laser that could enable 'beyond EUV' lithography
#LLNL evaluating Big Aperture Thulium (BAT) laser technology to enhance #EUV efficiency by 10x compared to current industry-standard CO2 lasers. This advancement could pave way for a new generation of 'beyond EUV' #lithography systems that produce chips quicker and with less power. Unlike CO2 lasers that operate at a wavelength of about 10 microns, this system operates at around 2 microns.

End of day 2 working on my new #lithography project. A #blackandwhite collection of VERY small #abstract #drawings called 'Petites Choses'.
In French, petites choses, small things, can either mean just that, or 'trivial matters'. It is frequently used as a misogynist and ableist insult. Being a neuroatypical woman - and into small things, you can guess where I stand on the spectrum - I mean to empower us all, Petites Choses. And mostly, well, I just love #ink and #stone. #printmaking

#NewYork State to get new $825 million #semiconductor R&D facility
The U.S. Department of Commerce says that the Albany, New York site will focus on extreme ultraviolet (#EUV) #lithography — technology for manufacturing the most advanced nodes required for the next generation of chips and processors.

Tom's Hardware · New York State to get new $825 million semiconductor R&D facilityBy Jowi Morales

Ed Sheeran has dozens of tattoos, some to commemorate career highlights, one because a radio station wanted him to get one on air, one because Saoirse Ronan deliberately misspelled the song title "Galway Girl" in a music video, and many that have no rationale whatsoever (a Heinz ketchup label... the word "PRINCE" written in the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" font). Jill Mapes, a writer for Hearing Things, has found herself completely fascinated by the recreation of "Mother and Child," a lithograph by Henri Matisse that Sheeran has on his left forearm. The original is Matisse's take on a Virgin Mary/Jesus picture. The Sheeran version is somewhat saucier. Mapes writes about how her fixation on the tattoo led her to examine Matisse's most interesting period of work.

Arturo García Bustos (1926–2017) was a Mexican painter and print maker. He was one of the four students who studied under Frida Kahlo at her home in Coyoacán known as "Los Fridos".
He also worked as an apprentice in mural painting with Diego Rivera and initially learned engraving and lithography working at the Taller de Gráfica Popular with Leopoldo Méndez.

"1939 A.D.," by Elizabeth Olds (1896-1991), lithograph on paper, image: 11 3/4 x 15 3/4 in. (29.7 x 40.1 cm). 'Olds's depiction of Jesus cracking a whip on the capitalists of Wall Street paints the blue collar workers-marching for "Democracy," "Social Equality," "Social Security," and "Right to Work"-as his humble supporters and the white collar bankers as demons possessed by a love of gold!’ - Marissa
