Notes

The artist's guide to microcomputer graphics, by the painter whose Hatchplot 1.3 and Douat Dump A20 plots are in this collection — Wilson writing for other artists about how to actually get a machine to draw, in the years when that meant a home computer and a pen plotter. Published by Perigee Books, 1985. Scarce enough that it is held by both the Anne + Michael Spalter Digital Art Collection and the compArt daDA archive; it sat on this library's want list until the owned copy was matched to it. Physical copy bought 2020-02-17 on Amazon ($11.50). A full scan is attached, recovered on 2026-07-22 from an import row whose title had been garbled.
