Hey everybody! I'm not sure if this classifies as "How-To": I couldn't decide between posting in Artwork or here, since the artwork this is based upon is certainly not my creation, although the implementation is. Anyway, a few days back, I was looking around my room and it felt rather bland. I knew I wanted to put something on my walls, but wasn't sure what exactly. I was intrigued by the Rasterbator (a free web service that allows images to be resized and printed in a "dot-matrix" fashion into huge posters/banners: Check it out at
http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/), and after looking for some art to "Rasterbate", I came across Escher's "Metamorphose", a huge wood-block piece of art. Since the Rasterbator doesn't handle works with such detail very well, I decided to take matters into my own hands. So, I compiled the images I had found of the masterpiece, resized/scaled them, and printed it out in about 10"-long pieces to use as a border for my room. I trimmed off the borders and attached them to the walls with some "Poster Tape". The results were great! Here's a compilation of 3 pictures I took.
