PCB Art has been a very cool way for PCB designers to express their artistic flair, or conversely for artist to dip their toes into PCB design. This Capacitor PCB Wall Art caught my eye, as the background pattern is so well offset by the capacitor itself. And then I noticed that this same seller, Collin Marlowe Design, has a few other super cool designs.
The NASA Logo jumped out at me – the perfectly uniform red background looks great! PCB Art is not only really cool to look at, you can handle it as well, as it’s just a regular PCB and is made of durable FR4 and hard solder mask. This adds a new dimension to experiencing the artwork – being able to get up close and personal. While you can (and should) hang it up to show it off, I’d also take it off the wall to let people get a sense of how its made.
And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the other awesome space-themed piece, the outline of the James Webb Space Telescope. This shape has become iconic and represents our search for answers in the universe! The combination of solder mask, screen printing and exposed metal layers on all three of these pieces gives them a sense of depth and texture. If you’re looking for a super cool gift for a fellow hacker (especially a hacker interested in space!) then check out what Collin has to offer!
