Classic Album Covers Recreated Using Only 144 Dots
Gary Andrew Clarke aka Graphic Nothing enjoys recreating classic album covers with dots.
144 of them, to be precise.
Here are some of my favorites. You might have to set your laptop down at the other end of the room and look from afar to guess them. Don’t try to decipher them up close, you’ll be there for hours.
More dots from Graphic Nothing here.
Bet he’s amazing at Connect Four.

Looking forward to seeing a couple of thousand dancers moving in formation to the “Born Slippy” refrain of “SHOUTINGLAGERLAGERLAGER” while expertly miming the acts of bellowing abuse and downing pints.
Austrian Photographer Josef Hoflehner’s “Jet Airliner” – Black & White Photographs of Airplanes Zooming Inches Over the Beaches of the West Indies
The arresting monochrome and stark surreality and juxtaposition of heavy, sleek, man-made, polished, winged titanic tubes of steel screaming fury only a few feet above the warm, carefree, untroubled, neo-Edenesque sands of St. Maarten, Dutch West Indies.

REVIEW: The Robert Glasper Experiment featuring Bilal at Neumos Seattle: Eclectic Relaxation (Friday March 23, 2012)
“His mastery of musical astronomy created constellations where there had once only been lone stars. The orbits of the planets Coltrane, Hancock, Dilla, Yorke, Morello, and Cobain were shifted and new asterisms formed. Sometimes he would beam these new musical morphings onto the planetarium ceiling, as when his band played a few solid minutes of “A Love Supreme.” At other times he would allow us only a fleeting glimpse through the telescope, as when he casually tinkled only four seconds of the intro to ‘Everything in It’s Right Place.’ “

REVIEW: Skream & Benga at Neumos Seattle: Why Seattle Does Dance (Thursday March 22, 2012)

It was 14 chainsaws of varying speeds slicing through a police siren while Super Mario collects coins. It was helicopter blades missing your earlobe by inches, a demon shark chomping through entire cities, a happy dinosaur playing jump-rope.”

Just looking at this conjures up a Pavlovian reaction to listen to some inane chip-tune melody and feed quarters into something.
