I nearly forgot #WeeklyTeletextArt again, but luckily @illarterate reminded me, and I'll repay him with mild teasing by making this week's prompt "On Time" 😄

Some great horsepower artwork this #WeeklyTeletextArt from #teletext artists old and new.

This week I thought we'd ignore the end-of-October-in-the-room and go back to random words, but the random picker chose "Pumpkin" and/or "Limousine" 😄

What could represent "horsepower" better than a bitchin' flaming piston tattoo
Well probably loads of things, but that's what I decided to draw for this week's #WeeklyTeletextArt prompt for some reason.

Beginners aren't just welcome, they're actively encouraged. And if you're a bit bewildered by the #Teletext editors, and can't work out where to start, just ask!

There are no silly questions, only poor documentation 😅

Feels good to be back on the #WeeklyTeletextArt horse. How about "Horsepower" this week?

As a reminder; Weekly Teletext Art is a bit of fun to help with those blank page blues. A gentle nudge each week to keep the pixels flowing, or take your first plunge into teletext art.

Had a properly successful session on the EU feld hell net this week with the #Meccano #hellschreiber
My new tone generator circuit using the VCO of a 74HC7046 makes a much better signal than my original, largely unfiltered, 555 oscillator lashup, and the group commented how my characters look much better now that I've stretched my pulses a little.

Alas new problems are appearing as the machine starts to wear out from too much use! 😆
The elastic is getting very soft so keys are not always returning properly, and the ever present character drum corrosion issue has been joined by "kapton tape starting to fall off itis".
I was expecting that from the very beginning though, and surprised it held up as well as it has. A few repair patches made with nail varnish last week seem to be working OK, so I will probably go through and use that everywhere bits are starting to peel/falling off.

Did a #WeeklyTeletextArt lighthouse last night, but I'm not super happy with how it came out. This is what happens when I try to use my imagination to draw 😅
