I know this is a bit late but Lewis Hamilton won the Formula One Championship! We’ve finally won for the first time in years. This is totally awesome! Bless him, after all those racist comments but he’s pulled through it all. Congrats to him and the team!
Lewis Hamilton portrait with hole punch dots
Something I read in the papers this morning which was rather intriguing. An art student created a portrait of Lewis Hamilton using discarded hole punch dots. I think it was around 250,000 individual dots! It took her 12 weeks to produce this portrait which was 8 x 5 feet and it really is extraordinary. Crazy maybe but wow!
She finished it just in time for the Brazilian Grand Prix, where Hamilton will be driving his attempt for the championship title. Now I wouldn’t say I’m a HUGE fan of Hamilton, but I am a fan and it would be great to see McLaren win so woo let’s hope they do =)
Anyway, back to the portrait. I’ve seen paintings of this kind of art movement before (pointillism) and have always been amazed at the difference between how they look from a distant and up close, but using hole punch dots is a whole new approach. The time and hard-work she’s put into that, just imagine how long it would take for a project of that size. Whoa! Obviously, she is an F1 fan and in particular a huge fan a McLaren so GOOD LUCK TO HAMILTON!
