A portrait of a man. The portrait is roughly divided into two styles: the left side is more painterly, while the right side is a bitmap composed of pixels. The man has slightly wild black hair, glasses, and a mustache, and is smiling. The overall composition is mixed-media on a gray background, with tinges of rainbow colors and colored pixels placed throughout the painting. The person depicted is Apple designer and engineer Bill Atkinson. The pixel part of this is based on an existing icon included in HyperCard; I'm unsure of who the artist is. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
