I’m an artist, photographer, musician and Macintosh enthusiast, with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art and a job as an illustrator.  Having recently acquired a new Mac II and a “new” graphics program (an upgrade of 
[don’t laugh] FullPaint), I was inspired to create some original art.  I’m something of a seashell collector, and decided to use some of my favorite shells as models for Mac art, though at the time I didn’t have any practical use in mind for the drawings. 
Perching a shell on the CPU, I sketched the outline freehand, then added interior contours and textures, then eventually brushed or “sprayed” shading.  Consequently, I began to dream of a color Mac...

 I took along my shells on disk and printed them out on a LaserWriter IInt. Im-mediately I felt something was lacking.  
Although the background screens certainly looked better in the laser printout than anything my ImageWriter I could do, they were still uneven.  I have experience with MacDraw I&II so I knew I needed to use an object-oriented program in order to retain a “live” screen for the LaserWriter, particularly if I wanted to print at a reduction.  So I converted my shell files into SuperPaint documents.  I spent a few hours after classes trying to perfect the shells, but couldn’t figure out how to make the imported bitmap shells opaque!   A friend at work 
who is also an 
artist and has a 
LaserWriter Plus 
suggested I create
