IaT-D-111201-Pulpea01_low

Este es uno de esos mosáicos que ponen mis técnicas al límite, inicialmente pensado para servir de fondo en la estupenda tienda de ropa que pulpea.es tiene en Vielha, muy cerca de Baqueira.

Partiendo del logo generé una figura en 3D de manera que al renderizarla diera cierta sensanción de volumen. Con el renderizado en BW propague unas 2.000 fotografías con las que el equipo de Pulpea quería rendir homenaje a sus seguidores y amigos.

El resultado lo podeis apreciar con detalle a través de la página de Zoom.it en este enlace.

 

Aaron Swartz

JO-D-130210-AaronSwartz._low

This is my little tribute to Aaron Swartz. I’m sad because we did not have the opportunity to help him. I’m also very sceptical with this story, but I have to admit that I’m sceptical even with the sceptics.

For a few days I thought about how to pay tribute… with one of his quotes (love “there is no justice in following unjust laws”), with the most relevant words of wikipedia … but the words “forever free” always ended up in my head.

Probably because in the land of freedom it was his biggest fear, to remain free. I really think it was the weapon. But somehow he reversed the whole thing… he is now forever free. We will never forget you Aarom.

Inside Keith Haring

My little tribute to Keith Haring, a mind full of colour and wonderful messages.

For this illustration I took around 35 of his great figures and spread over his portrait.

Tribute to Sean Taylor

JO-D-121230-SeanTaylor01_low

Anish Patel came to me with this sad but wonderful history about Sean Taylor. After reading about him I decided to create a little tribute to his memory…

So I took more than 4.300 messages people left here  after his death, people continuous writing even a year after, and counted the most used words of all these messages. Then I spread the words over some different images of Sean. Size of the words represents repetition.

The beginning of the word list:

family (3443),sean (3261),god (2436),taylor (1638),may (1478),missed (1315),bless (1261),prayers (1235),love (1054),time (1051),know (875),peace (839),fan (761),redskins (720),rest (718),go (691),heart (677),friends (676),one (659),always (656),great (629),thoughts (610),player (582),play (548),never (540),life (532),watch (508),football (471),rip (451),man (443),memories (427),loss (423),remember (419),comfort (394),now (392),just (372),like (371),young (362),day (361),condolences (341),live (337),best (334),keep (322),person (321),pray (310),see (304),field (302),many (299),game (289),heaven (283),much (280),deepest (277),can (275),forever (273),lord (273),thank (271),goes (265),sympathy (265),sad (258),truly (257),son (243),lost (241),daughter (237),father (235),ever (230),sorry (230),way (229)… and another 3800 words

And counting two representative words combo:

god bless (1084),sean taylor (869),may god (765),taylor family (722),rest in peace (556),thoughts and prayers (457),bless you and your family (347),family and friends (294),prayers go (282),redskins fan (215),rip sean (211),prayers are with your family (207),sean’s family (194),go out to the family (193),deepest sympathy (164),never be forgotten (159),heart goes (151),family of sean (148),family in this time (147)…

Thank you Anish for helping me with this!.
