Celebrating 25 Years of iotacons!













Here is an iotacon recently discovered in the vault from 1987. It was created on an Atari computer using a joystick, and printed on a dot-matrix printer. So this one isn't retro!

Quiz Time! Who are these people?


















Hi everybody! Do you think a collection of iotacons would make a good book? Let's say you're in a bookstore and you see a little 6" square book of iotacons. What would make you want to give it to somebody?
A book of quizzes (like the one above) with answers in the back? A specific category for the book, like Movies of the 90's? Genres like sci-fi or horror, or collections of movies by a single director? Should it be historical, like the Presidents or WWII?
Lots of people have been making crafts based on these illustrations. Cross-stitch, quilts, mosaics, etc. Should that be the focus of a book? How? Should the book come with a box of tiny square magnets so you can make these on your fridge?
Should an iotacon book be narrative? Some kind of 8-bit adventure?

I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks for visiting!
