The Apple 512k is my Gairden of Eden as an artist collaborating with a computer.

Some of my earliest memories around creation involve me using Mac Paint or drawing on paper in a notebook.

I would doodle an idea digitally, print it out on the dot matrix printer and then draw on the printout with whatever medium I had laying around.

This piece represents my present skillset and capabilities with Ai using the tooling of 2023.

The sound you are hearing is me typing a couple paragraphs of instructions from the original MacPaint manual:

"How to begin:
• Insert the MacPaint disk.
• Open a MacPaint document by clicking the Paint disk icon and choosing "Open" from the "File" menu, then clicking the MacPaint icon and choosing "Open" again.
In a few seconds, the screen will look like this:"

This is where I leave you, enjoy. This is a piece of me and my artistic journey.
