My friend Chris is an incredible pixel art artist. His girlfriend Kelly is a member of NYC Resistor, a Brooklyn based electronics hacking group. NYCR happens to own a laser etching tool. Chris made magic happen with his EeePC. His description follows:
(via revolvingdork)
Last night I laser-etched the top of my Eee PC with the complete level maps of Super Mario Land ( on the Game Boy).
Everything from the familiar layouts of 1-1 to the climactic battle with Tatanga in the clouds at the end of 4-3 is represented in the etching.
This was made possible with the laser cutter at NYC Resistor in Brooklyn ( www.nycresistor.com ), where you can go to get your laptop etched too!
I set the laser in raster mode at 70% speed and 40% power to achieve this look.
