A while back I posted two blogs on the resurgence of typewriters, ☜ click here & here ☞ though they're clearly not resurging among those currently cranking out novels, except perhaps writer Karen Lynn Williams.
When I whined about the e-mailing, blogging, Tweeting, websiting, "liking," selling-of-our-souls required in this new age of publicizing publishing, Karen fired back with: Oh, please, give me back the days when I wrote on a typewriter.

Nothing says get to work like his refashioned typewriter
I stumbled across Oakland, CA, sculptor Jeremy Mayer's fabulous creations via an industrial design post on my son's Facebook page.
(see above/hand slapping)
In his own words: I disassemble typewriters and then reassemble them into full-scale, anatomically correct human figures. I do not solder, weld, or glue these assemblages together- the process is entirely cold assembly. I do not introduce any part to the assemblage that did not come from a typewriter.
Dear Jeremy:
While you're at it, could you program them to knock out a few chapters?
Sincerely,
Beleaguered in rough draft
Jeremy Mayer~~ it ain't your daddy's Underwood.
On second thought, it might be.
