I just watched an episode of CBS Sunday morning.  They had a story about an aritst whouses push pins to create massive portraits.  Using only five colors might I add.  While they look really cool I am not sure how I feel about it.  I say this because he uses some sort of photo-shop to break down his digital images into pixels.   Let me back up a bit, he takes a digital pic of a family member or friend and then pixelizes the image to break it down into colors.  Then using that image he prints colored dots onto paper upon which he places onto a wood background.  Then by pushing thousands of pins into the wood, you have an interesting piece of art.   It’s almost more science than art when you think about it.  It caught my interest but I’m not sure how I feel about it overall.  I know one thing I’m getting carpal tunnel just by typing this I can’t imagine putting thousands of little push pins all day long, then again I have been known to paint small lines for hours on end.  Now whos crazy?   Here is his website!  http://daigh.com/
