Self Portrait 02/12/2011

This started out as a "fake" pixel art experiment, trying to mimic pixel art using vector squares so that I could showcase the pixels at a larger scale. Because I was creating the picture color by color It turned out to be a very fun color study as well.. After finishing up the "pixels" in illustrator, I took the image into photoshop and started dissecting the pixels to get a little more likeness and interesting shapes..
