I'd love to know how long the original artist took to paint that image!
I imagine many hours of squinting at a CRT screen, with absolutely nothing better to do. No internet, no mobile phones, apps, social medias, zit.

The artist is Avril Harrison. Other than that, seems to be lost to history. https://datagubbe.se/famous/
(this is a better process than the 1965 NASA version, which involved doing pixel art by hand on paper. A form of human "shader". https://science.nasa.gov/resource/first-tv-image-of-mars-han... )
