Nice!

If you're interested in graphics using more traditional manufacturing, halftone can work well on PCBs. It's not too hard to do with your favourite raster graphics and CAD packages. If you use KiCad, here's a shameless plug for a toy project: https://github.com/ianrrees/kicad_halftone .

I like the idea, do you have a photo of the end result (on a PCB)?

I actually do this with my programmable keyboards! There's some images on the site if you browse around :)

Thanks! I've updated the examples on the github repo to include a PCB. It's not the most artfully done thing, but I think gets the idea across.
