Rubik's Cube Mosaic
Gear  |  Projects
Created by David Alvarez.. He just stands there, solves each cube to present the right pattern, and sets it in place, apparently without any kind of reference.
"Yes, I rotated every single rubik's cube to the project. First thing before I started working on the project was learn how to solve it. After that, then I knew how the rubik's can be used to my advantage for the project and make a portrait.
I DID NOT BREAK THE CUBES, OR PEEL THE STICKERS. In all, there are 336 rubik's cubes and the project is 4ft in length and 3ft in height. " [ Youtube link ]

8BITWOOD "is a journey into the madness of homemade pixel art. I work in the videogame industry and I thought what better way to pay homage to my favorite games than to cut out thousands of little blocks of wood, stain them, glue them together, seal them and then hang the result on the wall?
