I was going through some old papers when I came across a printout of a picture I'd drawn on my family's IBM PC back when I was about 12 or so (circa 1985). The resolution was 320x200 with a three-color palette (white, blue and pink), and the hard copy came from our Epson MX-100 dot matrix printer.
I did this the brute force way. I plotted the picture on a big piece of graph paper, and wrote a program in BASIC to draw it line by line. It must have taken a couple of hours. I could have done it in a small fraction of that time with a decent graphics application (or almost instantly with a scanner)... but back in those days, everything was new and magical, and the process was as much fun as the result.
