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?

@uliwitness I’d like to think it’s a photographers direction to show an artist’s tools, in the same way a painter might hold a fist of brushes in front of their work. The gaze suggests to me “future forward”, which is appropriate for this new technology.
@paulrickards Hopefully. For me, it just looks like this kind of stock photo:
@uliwitness @paulrickards hilarious! But now I'm wondering if she's using it to pry the coin battery out.
@paulrickards Now with 100% less corner distortion!
@paulrickards has that image been flipped? I thought the shutter of the floppy was supposed to be on the left, not the right?
@georgeharito Fixed! Man, I’ve worked on this for far too long today 😅
@paulrickards Nice! It is really hard to capture the CRT image into pretty much any other format.
