Dan Kurtz of San Francisco has etched Rene Magritte’s “The Son of Man” onto the cover of his 15″ PowerBook.

This new speciman of laptop creativity was done via a Squid Labs epilog laser and the open-source program Inkscape to craft the duo-tone rendering, according to Kurtz’ post on Skid Labs’ Instructables community Web site. The site offers step-by-step instructions on laser etching Macintosh PowerBooks.
