Prior Art Design is the overall name for my art project which I started in about 2006, using drawings in United States Patents as a base for making artwork. A kind of technical art, but wide ranging.

Here is artwork based on a patent for a type writing machine from 1885. It has an interesting key arrangement,
looks like 'I' and 'O' would be used for the '1' and '0' as well.

This artwork is based on a lantern patent image from 1887. It is so easy to take for granted electric lights and power. Back in the day, this was an example of modern lighting.

This artwork is based on a football patent from 1903.
Thanksgiving was one of the rare times we would watch a game with most of the family.
Years later I found out my grandmother liked to watch Hockey on TV.

This is artwork based on an 1863 printing press patent.
Printing was certainly one of the major important inventions of all time, and today.

Thanksgiving coming up reminded me of this artwork, based on a pie cutter patent from 1933.
I think it was to not just get the perfectly shaped slice, but that everyone would get the same size.

This artwork is a black and white version of a cribbage board patent image from 1885 by C. W. Le Count.
The artwork could make a nice decorative game room addition.
