I have a dream

My little tribute to Martin Luther King . He said “I Have A Dream” during the March on Washington  in one of the most wonderful speeches ever.

Martin, we still share the dream with you… a global dream!

Like a Rolling Text

Hey man… Happy birthday!… Bob Dylan is sixty now (ouch!, seventy!), well the last May 24.. but I’m always late congratulating.

For this illustration I took 462 Bob Dylan lyrics, counted all the words and spread it over a photo of a young Dylan. As usually the most commonly used are the largest.

The most used: well (659), just (613), know (597), got (584), like (567), can (536), one (480), come (456), go (449), love (432), say (415), see (414), time (413), oh (366), now (363), man (361), get (345), said (330), ain’t (327), baby (310), tell (277), never (270), back (267), night (262), look (261), day (251), want (241), make (233), take (230), eyes (217), heart (210), turn (209), way (208), long (203), right (197), hand (194), think (189), things (185), away (181), feel (180), gone (178), mind (175), good (174), around (171), walk (166), lord (163), world (160), ever (159), home (154), need (153), still (153), old (151), friend (149), hard (142), call (139), head (139), try (139), door (138), keep (136), road (135), stand (135), must (134), hear (133), little (133), people (133), die (132), wind (128), face (127), give (126), made (126), town (125), even (123), live (122), crying (120), new (119), blue (118), life (118), much (117), went (117), yes (115), girl (113), every (111), god (111), always (110), please (109), ya (108), light (106), nothing (106), put (106), woman (106), leave (105), something (104), stay (104), last (103), name (103), place (102), trouble (102), may (101), street (101)…

Another illustration with an “up to date” face…

Flying Carolina

My daughter Carolina in one of her super-jumps. She is three years old, but the photo was taken some months ago when she was only two… I took a nice set of photographies during a country day. She is as beautiful as her mother…

Another one…

I’m just ending my “generative geometry” spread options to my tools. Here you have  some samples using the Nadal illustration. I tested different approaches, including some similar to percolator and tsevis techniques. But some of the best shots appears when I combine all those techniques together.  Now I have too many options so it’s hard to select the right one…

Finally an explosion of geometry…

I’ve seen Words…

New word search game… this time about one of my favorite movies, Blade Runner. You have to find the names of all (in my opinion) replicant characters in the movie.

Yeah, it’s harder because two reasons. First, the font used was the movie font. Very nice but hard to read. You can find it here .

Second, because now there is no single chars but random generated words. It’s a new function I’m working on in my approach to “the big word search game ever” (sponsors needed!). Hope to publish it before summer.

It’s hard, but don’t you cry, because your tears will be lost in rain etc…. such a great movie!!!!
