He says: This is a mosaic I did using those Benjamin Moore paint chips you can get from hardware stores. After a lot of time, patience, photoshop, and numerous trips to ACE hardware, I was finally able to finish.
Totally clever, budget friendly and wonderfully executed!
Thanks for the inspiration, Nite.

wow
brilliant... how is it attached to the wall?
Absolutely amazing. wow.
HOLY COW! I am absolutely obsessed and need need need NEED to do this for my apartment (way to many blank walls to keep track of right now!)

This is very neat. I love it.
What are the best kinds of images to pixelate? Thanks.
WOW. beautiful job!!
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!
Neato!
And what is the wall color?
I'm looking for a rich, darker gray.
That's amazing! It looks great above that bed and against that wall color. Well done!
Not only is it cool, but it would be a snap to duplicate. The one who did all the hard work would simply have to say what color chips are where and viola!
Holy cow! How long did it take to do this?
Wow, kudos to a job well done!
Once used paint chips for an art piece but they were all jumbled with color getting dark to light from the center. Nothing nearly as intricate as this. Must have take forever to align them all so neatly.
I'm totally inspired!
wow. im totally impressed. i wish i had one of these in my house. i have a huge wall in my living room just begging for this piece.
That is neat!
So cool! I'm not a fan of Marliyn images but nonetheless, I think this is awesome - so creative!
Time to take a trip to home depot and raid their samples!
once again, it sounds naughty but it isn't:

it pixelates images to whatever size you want, based on the original image, and then how many sheets of paper you feel like putting together and works in either black and white or color.
Also - How I would mount this: I would just adhere the chips to poster board, matte board or fome-core cut to size for a frameless image. You could also adhere to MDF with a hole drilled in the backside for flush wall mounting...
that is one fantastic work! congratulations!
Just to follow up on my comment above, I did a JFK photo in photoshop, pixalated it and did something else (no clue what it's called but it reduced the number of colors). I also bought a foam board to mount the chips on... Can't wait to display my finished project!!!
How about this: http://www.skypiece.com/projects/mosaics/P1030386.JPG
Nite's work is so nice that I wanted to blatantly plug my own, very related pixel-based artwork.

I've not thought about using paint chips before, but I've been expermenting with the artistic language with many things such as bricks and blocks.
I did this a few years ago - http://www.skypiece.com/projects/mosaics/P1030386.JPG - it required making literally thousands of scans of combinations of two different sizes and shapes of paint chip - dividing them by palette - duplicating them flipped and rotated every possible way - and then feeding them into MacOSaiX dozens of times in different orders and different combinations. Fair to say I froze my machine a lot. I prefer this though to using a straight pixellation - more colors - more variation - much more movement. Only problem is that there is no way to scale it down. More resolution requires more paintchips and the paintchips are fixed in size so to get something with good definition really takes a huge mosaic.
