We used to live in a shoe box in the middle of the road......I wish I still had some of my 16-bit Spectrum artwork from....oooh, 1982?  Loved it, I'm sure that the restrictions placed on me by the hardware and software in those days pushed me to be more creative than nowadays.  Sigh, "pose", "light", "render" = art.  Or maybe it was the fact that I was in my early 20s rather than my early 50s like what I am now!

Great thread for us oldies!
