PICT0002
Etching of Magritte's "The Son of Man" onto a 15" PowerBook using Squid Lab's Epilog laser. The graphic was made using the miracle of Inkscape (specifically, the bitmap-to-path function that uses the eerily-accurate potrace program).
See www.instructables.com/ex/i/55217172B5A910289B50001143E7E506/ for details on how to do it yourself.
