This is my #linocut portrait of Claude Shannon (1916-2001), #mathematician, electrical #engineer, computer scientist & cryptographer credited with laying the foundations for the Information Age. It shows him in front of binary numbers & with his electromechanical mouse Theseus & its maze. Though partially behind him, the binary numbers are the standard ASCII code for "CLAUDESHANNON".

my linocut portraits of Claude Shannon: He is in very dark teal blue, facing the viewer and wearing a suit. In front of him is the maze with electromechanical mouse and copper penny in forest green. Perspective makes it look like it’s coming out toward you. Behind him are binary numbers in silver. The print is signed Ele Willoughby, titled, numbered and dated.
