To Bill Atkinson, With Love and MacPaint

MacPaint by Bill Atkinson (Image: anoved via flickr)

Where would the Macintosh (and Computing) World be without Bill Atkinson? MacPaint, QuickDraw, HyperCard – Atkinson stands with the Giants. In homage of his recent donation of the MacPaint source code to the Computer History Museum, flickr artist anoved offers this portrait of Bill Atkinson created entirely in MacPaint. With tools like these, who needs Photoshop? Well done!

This is what spawned me to love Macs when I was a kid. Mmm. Black and white.
