Playing with paint: Girl and an Altair 8800

So playing with a bit more paint I thought I’d have a go at drawing something from my head. I’d just been reading the Diamond Age and had vague ideas along the lines of drawing Nell with the primer. Didn’t turn out quite that way (just went with what seemed to be working). So instead here’s a painting a girl with a backdrop of the circuit board from an Altair 8800 (one of the first publicly available computers for consumers). It’s kind of silly, but I quite liked how it turned out.
