Personal Jesus

Personaljesus-1

This is an image from my latest personal project, entitled “Personal Jesus”. The idea is pretty simple - take an image of jesus and replace all the pixels with some vice - money, cocaine, beer, cigarettes etc etc. There’ll be a microsite soon enough, and eventually I’m hoping to make a series of large-scale (A0) prints and hopefully get a ltitle exhibition going.

The only other thing to say is that its my first foray into generative art / using code to make the image. In this case it takes the average RGB value from each pixel and then puts a clip down whose scale is dependent on that value.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated…

    Looks GREAT!
    I think i saw something similar at the-affair.com pretty slick
    How would I go about doing this? Perhaps a tutorial? Would like to try some designs to have that effect.

    hey constantine, yeah this project was the genesis for the Muslim Jesus shirt at the-affair… i’m in the process of making a public version available online - where you can upload your own ‘pixel’ and create your own personal jesus. i’ll let you know when its online

Have your say
