Deer made from typewriter parts

Artist Jeremy Mayer created this sweet, delicate little deer out of typewriter parts.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I misread the headline and was pretty sure I didn’t want to see a typewriter made out of deer parts…
This is nicely done, though. Really something.

The real test of verisimilitude is to put it on a highway at night and see if it will go through a windshield.

About 20 years ago, when I was in High School, we went to the art gallery to see the best of that year’s final-year student’s art projects. These were works by 17-18 year olds from all over Australia. I remember disctinctly being impressed by a dragonfly, which had likewise been made from typewriter parts.

My boyfriend and I recently saw a similar exhibit of the work of Ann Smith at 13forest gallery in Arlington, MA.

Her squid, with suckers made out of the rubber backing of a computer keyboard, was fantastic.

A bit lame compared to Picasso’s goat.
