Woke up this morning to a bunch of emails asking for the files I used to make my Magritte PowerBook etching. Then got a text message from Julian saying he saw it on Engadget, so that explains it.
Here are the files, in different formats: eps svg ps png
(Don't use the PNG for etching, use one of the vector-based formats instead.)
It'd be cool if someone made stickers out of them so that people didn't need access to a laser.
It'd also be cool to see some other artwork. One flicker commenter pointed out that Escher is fertile territory for this kind of thing (though the Apple logo doesn't tesselate very well). A GigerBook would also be pretty awesome, as would some sort of Adam and Eve reference. Ask an art history major for ideas. If you do something like that, post it to the Instructables project page. Desktop laser engravers are getting cheaper!
Update: Hi Gizmodo, too!
You know what else would be cool? Vitruvian Man, with the Apple logo obscuring the floppy bits.
Another update! (6/2/09): A few months ago, I switched this blog to Drupal, and somehow the Creative Commons blurb on the sidebar didn't make it over. Everything on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons attribution license, meaning that you can do what you want with it -- you can even make money off of it -- but you have to mention its origins somewhere. I mention this because some folks are selling decals of this design on Etsy and so forth, which makes me grin like a goon, but I'd appreciate some sort of attribution on the page. I appreciate the people who've emailed me to ask about that. One of the nice things about CC licenses is that you don't have to email me when you want to do something with the design, but I always like hearing about the things people make out of it.
