Star Wars Cross Stitch

starwars-cross-stitch-tapestry-1

A long time ago in a galaxy far  far away… or possibly in LA.  There was  a tapestry to end all tapestries on display.  The tapestry, tells the entire story of Star Wars in cross stitch with text, below is the artists description of the work.

A hand-stitched cotton thread on 30 foot of continuous length of 7 stitch per inch Klostern fabric. Stiffened with a thin batting and hemmed with a custom-made printed pixel star farbric on rear. This cross-stitch tapestry depicts the Star Wars saga (so far) from Episode 1 through Episode 6. Quotes from each movie are written in Aurebesh on the surrounding border. Chanelling the Bayeux Tapestry.

That is an epic work.

Pac-Man Atari Source Code Illustration

atari-source-code-pac-man
Ben Fry has made these incredibly intricate illustrations using Atari source codes. The Pac-Man Illustration, pictured above, is the most complicated of the set which are now available for purchase at his site, distellamap.

The whole set is amazing, I wouldn’t think that source codes could be considered “artwork” but these are really cool, and I could definitely see them framed somewhere in my house.
