Pretty sweet idea, I’m willing to see if someone can make art with staples in the same fashion

A streetartist called “Sten” has been doing this for years and years - here’s some of his stuff: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2183/2603154823_11ba756e85.jpg?v=0

Steven,

If anyone is interested, i have just designed my website with a few pieces of my work.

Regards
Steve
Ps that image was NOT made using technology
(unless a hammer is classed as a technical instrument!)

I think this is sheer genius..so what if you can achieve this using technology? The bottom line is the Artist (and yes, that’s what he is) is showcasing several viable characteristics here…Concept, Creativity,Talent, Stick-to-it-tiveness….to name a few. It’s about time people get back to the basics …like using the brain….

So cool! I love concepts that use density to create shading. Well executed too!

Peace.

Why the negative jazz?!?!?!?!

This boy, is clearly just doing what he loves and people can appreciate it or f**k off not like he did it to offend u

and in response to all this laser cut blah blah technical crap that is not how this was produced. FACT.

AND some guy may have been doing this for years but guess what …… here is another one.

in the words of Freud there is no such thing as an original thought.

I think it looks as good as ur mum.

the back and magenta layers of a halftone seperation. about 9,000 squares cut out by hand.

wow…i speak of this on my blog.
Bye

This can be done with any picture in about 15-20 minutes provided you own a plotter.

1) Convert raster image to halftone bitmap, specify desired linescreen.

2) Trace or autotrace to get into vector format.

3) Cut on plotter.

This masterpiece and $5.00 can get a nice cup of Java at Starbucks. Maybe he already works there so he can get one for free.

He has to be on something to make this.

That’s pretty funny!

This is to Mitch Pawl, what have you done lately? The guy creates something, and you poop on it, get a freaking life.

Nice work. Steven Nicholson seems to have done it first. But that’s the way art goes eh? Technique is technique. Who makes the better composition and markets it better wins.

Steven, get your stuff up on NotCot too.

Can you say “Dork”?

you have way too much time on your hands.

This is done using a projected photoshop image and has been done by other, craftier people. This artist, actually laser cuts wood to the same effect:

Hi Just a quick message to answer some of your questions.

The picture was made using 10 single hole punches and a hammer over a cutting mat. It took over 8hrs.

If anyone wants there own just forward me the details to my email address.

In answer to Joshes statement I think using a laser die cutter wont have the same effect and a uniform sequence of holes will look too mechanical.

Hmmm. Sort of expected I guess. Plus, Reed Anderson has been doing this sort of thing for years. What you have done here is more likes arts and crafts and less like art. Good effort though.

it’s really a great design!

SICK!!! THAT’S AWESOME!

sorry mate. that’s Eric Idle. :P

nice one, i like it.

this is pretty nice, but did anyone else think that was a portrait of michael palin?

Looks like he used rasterbator to create the dot image and then just punched the dark parts of the pattern

Awesome pictures! Check out this hole punch art too:

Yes, how DID you get the hole puncher to work in the middle of the paper?????

That’s AWESOME!

Nicely done! Very cool.

Wow!! What do you do for a living?!

Skip the hole punch, just get some time on a computer-driven laser-cutter!

Have you figured out a way to mass produce these?

Wooowww its amazing.. Thats incredible.. To much well working!!

Wow how much for our logo from http://www.askTheAdmin.com ? and the ill let you punch my face joke - was horrible, word up.

That’s pretty amazing, sorta retro art.

What a great idea. I love it! This is the manual version of halftone.

So umm, how did you get a hole puncher to the middle of the photograph?? That just looks too computer generated to me. UN-QUOTE BITCH!!!

That is amazing, very creative.

Hole-y Mole-y Bat Man!

Great work. So good that I did exactly the same thing 4years ago at Central Saint Martins.

Hello people, thanks for your interest and comments, I am currently setting up a website so you lot can check out my other projects.

If you want one of those pics send me you email address, when I have sorted my website i will get back to you to arrange the details.

Im in contact with a paper supplier so, hopefully I will have some bad-ass paper to work with eg. metalics, transparencys, polycoated, handmade paper, transmarque and transclear papers.

Much thanks!

Adorei sua arte.Congratulations…

I had a dream about this [seriously]! I was walking down a sidewalk and stopped at a corner next to one of those electric box thingies. Then this guy who looked like ?uestlove was carrying one of these hole punch portraits around. He put one on top of the electric box and used a sharpie to [messily] color in the holes/portrait.

The end.

awesome~

How you did it? would you mind to share~

good work.

Can anyone tell me how do I get in touch with Steven Nicholson? Tks.

dude that is truly cool. Id let you hole punch my face any day!

magnificent
