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.

I was looking at around and I agree with you that the Virtuvian Man would be amazing. I am not a graphic designer and don't claim to be. I am a photographer. Can anyone out there make a Virtuvian man design that would work well as an etch on my 15.4 inch macbook pro? I was looking at this on etchamac.com
>>I wonder if anything would look half decent on a boring old Thinkpad.
i dont think so as they are black instead this is a light gray
Funny... I just came across this on a Google. I run a freelance graphics design business and have both a large format laser and a vinyl cutter. I can either laser etch or create an etched-glass vinyl decal if you're interested. Shoot me an email: somesailor@gmail.com

just wondering, but how much did this cost? do the prices vary on time required, or the size of the etching?
Hi to KAC, too!

saw you & your laptop (or someone who copied the idea) at cafe la onda a couple of weeks ago. thought it was cool--apparently i wasn't alone.
[...] Some of you may have realized that my tagline above is a reference to Rene Magritte’s painting La Trahison des Images (err…ignore the fact that my version doesn’t really make as much sense as Magritte’s…). I just came across the picture above, which is Dan Kurtz’s very cool PowerBook…it’s a rendition of another Magritte painting, The Son of Man. In his blog Dan provided the files for this ‘tattoo’ and mentioned a couple of suggestions for other artwork on notebooks. I wonder if anything would look half decent on a boring old Thinkpad.

Very Cool indeed. Please email me if you ever hear of someone making stickers of this. Excellent work!
