Recently @blakespot posted Jack Haeger's "Four-Byte Burger” #Amiga #PixelArt. Today YouTuber Ahoy posted about his process to recreate it from scratch using photographs, even posting a PNG of the final work (scaled for modern displays).
I was able to work backwards to create an Amiga IFF version so I too could display it on an Amiga and CRT.
*Edit: Updated screenshot.
Here’s the IFF:

Four Byte Burger displayed on an #Amiga 1000 and a rare #Commodore 1070 monitor, the original monitor paired with the Amiga 1000, rotated 90 degrees for portrait display. The image is stunning in person on the CRT!
*Edit: Replaced image with correctly rotated image. Ahoy's original version needed to be rotated the other way for this orientation.
The Commodore 1070 is likely the same monitor Jack Haeger had access to when he created Four Byte Burger using an early version of Graphicraft. Here's Andy Warhol using the same monitor rotated in portrait orientation.

@paulrickards There's probably a whole story behind this picture, given how he's holding the mouse.
Has he never used a computer, and it was just a prop? Did the photographer think he was holding "that wired remote" wrong and made him hold it like this?
