I wrote a tribute for BYTE Magazine's amazing cover artist, Robert Tinney, who died Feb 1st

Tinney painted 80 vivid and surreal covers illustrating various concepts in early personal computing from 1978-1990, usually airbrushed with gouache. May he RIP ❤️

Got a lot of notifications on this post and just realized it is because he passed away earlier this month. RIP Robert Tinney.

I don’t know where this is from. I know that it’s a tile made with a medieval illustration. #Caturday
