I am up to 2037 followers at the time of this writing. I asked for suggestions for a topic, and drtask suggested something quite different: “Dark Art.” Well, I tried to find something that would fit that topic that also had several colors in it… but all I could find were very black, very dark images (imagine that!). Someone else suggest classical art, so that got me thinking… What is the strangest, most demented “classical” artist I can think of right now? Salvador Dali! So, here you are… not exactly dark art, but strange and demented to be sure.

Follower Mosaic #1

Here is the first mosaic with only people following me on Twitter! As of this post there are 1751 followers. Just to show you what a drastic difference having a large icon base has, I made a mosaic of one I’ve already done before.

Follower-only mosaic (pool of 1,751 tiles):

Cactus Followers Mosaic

Original mosaic (pool of 20,000+ tiles):

Cactus 40

Obviously you can see the difference, but it actually came out quite well for only having about 5% of the tiles to choose from. Plus I also configured it to use as many unique tiles as possible. So, keep telling your friends to follow me, and the quality will improve dramatically… And now for the list! There are over 900, which means you have a pretty good chance of being in this one! Let me know if you find yourself. Read the rest of this entry »

I asked for your input on the next theme, and the people spoke: SPACE!

Here is a stunning photo of Space Shuttle Atlantis blasting off on June 8, 2007.

In general, the only way that photomosaics are actually effective is to have a high enough resolution (i.e. large number of tiles) for the picture to be recognizable. Here I have taken a photo and made it in several different resolutions just for comparison.

Do you know what this might be a picture of? First we have 5 tiles across.

So chuise suggested that it might be cool to make an image map out of a mosaic and link to each person’s twitter page. As you can imagine, it is quite large so I won’t be doing this often, but it was a fun exercise. You’ll have to click the “read more” link to actually see it because it kinda breaks the style sheets :)

My wife suggested this nice picture of a flower. I think it came out beautifully because of all the various colors and contours. Enjoy!

1000 Followers!

As of this post I have just crossed the 1000 follower mark on twitter. The amazing thing is that this happened in under 24 hours! Thanks to everyone! Now I can start to create mosaics with just my followers… but I still need more. Please keep asking your friends to add me :-)
