Lion - Digital Circlism


Prints availables. That design by Ben Heine
was used to decorate the hood of a Mazda
car. View some photos here and here
(See it on deviantART)

I just started experimenting macro photography. I took this pic a few days ago. When zoomed at 100%, these small eyes are completely amazing, made of thousands of tiny circles aligned in a perfect way, incredible! The above photo has been shot with the Samsung Smart Camera NX20, which has been provided to me by Samsung Electronics. Co., Ltd.

The language of photography. A picture I took a few days ago in a park in Bucharest, Romania. Model: Madalina. If you wish, you can see the original pic here. I think Madalina has hypnotic eyes...

Another cat I found in a park near Sousse in Tunisia... I didn't change the colors, it's an albinos kitty with 2 different eye colors. It's very rare. I'll post more pictures of this sweet creepy thing soon.

I took this photo last month in Venice, Italy. The man was
sitting on a small bridge waiting for people willing to travel
in his gondola. I'll share more photos from Venice soon...

A drag queen I met in a street of Florence, Italy, a few days ago.
He was really expressive and had giant "Queen cards" on his hat.

LOL, a quick sketch on my left hand (with ballpoint pen) and a photo with a soft flash in a mirror. I might develop the idea of drawing directly on the palm of my hand instead of using pieces of paper. That was a bit tricky because I had to make the drawing upside down...

Marilyn Monroe's portrait made with thousands of flat circles (each circle was placed individually on a black background). It took me almost one week of intense work... Please see 3 details below. I love Marilyn, I think she was one of the most sensual women in the world.

Abandoned Cats

All these cats are homeless. They manage to survive thanks
to the kindness of some people feeding them
in the street when it's possible...

This is a tiny kitten I found in a street in Braives, Belgium. He was totally lost and scared. With a little help, he finally got back to his family safely... On the picture, I tried to give the baby a huge presence (emphasizing the eyes' expression) and make him look even more fragile... but still willing to survive.

A couple of mime artists in the streets of Brussels...

I think the guy has such a powerful profile. He reminds
me a bit of Serge Gainsbourg, the French Singer.

This is my circlist portrait of Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll. I've always admired him. I wanted to make something unusual and give him the aspect of a solid and invincible robot... but not a real "terminator" because he was especially a romantic man and a cultural icon with one of the most beautiful voices ever...

Please enlarge to see how it's done. I've only used circles of different sizes and colors on a black background. The whole portrait took me several days of intense work. The original image is big (10000 pixels wide). There is no trick, those circles aren't placed automatically, I've positioned each circle one by one (and I've left the yellow background unfinished on purpose). I'll soon post a YouTube video showing all the evolution before arriving to the final result. I'm now going to start a circlist portrait of Freddie Mercury.

This is a digital work but totally "handmade"
I painted each dot on a black surface
It took me quite a long time to
finish the whole image...
The full portrait and
"making of" are
