Mosaic Portraits Made From Dice | Insider Art

Ben Hoblyn and Ross Montgomery started Dice Ideas, a company that creates elaborate mosaic portraits out of dice. To create the portraits, the duo lays down thousands of dice in different orientations. Each face of the dice gives the portrait a different shade.

Mosaic Portraits Made From Dice | Insider Art

[@DawnFields61]

so original! Have seen art done with sew in labels and spools of thread... love this black and white!!! Amazing contrast!

[@yes4459]

Is that....Jaykayyyy 💜?

[@lfatimal789]

i thought that as well

[@yes4459]

@@Abrena90273 JK is a member of the most popular band in the world - BTS.

[@rgarlinyc]

Very clever, and a good way to spend a (hopefully) relaxing 60-80 hours together!

[@Aniketkumar-du4rm]

Unbelievable art form

[@zer0luv]

Jungkook! 💜💜

[@littledrawer_dumancee]

Jk🔮

[@user-li6qd6yv3d]

amazing 👏

[@judithalban4989]

Looks some of the dice are just black? Very cool.

[@gbyck9883]

Absolutely incredible!

[@Naomirose86]

How like 😮

[@kumudaad9716]

Amazing art
It needs a lot of patience and dedication to make it
💜JK💜

[@grantkayser8011]

Wow, being a DnD fan, this is insane!

[@wolfgang4468]

I'm interested in how you implement the Photoshop design. How do you know where each cube goes? Do you have a full-size printout hanging on the wall? I'm working on glass mosaics and thinking about this transfer problem right now.

[@roncandelaria3703]

Wow!

[@foldingwishes]

Woah an actual art video on art insider!

[@tracis.1691]

Phenomenal! I wonder if you could use wood die rather than all of that plastic?

[@maureenedonovan9935]

Wonderful. You have invented a new are form.

[@BhavyaV7]

Hey if you make this on a transperent glass so the the backe side of the portrait would be inverted image or what
Just curious to see what behind look like a inverted image of where is black there is white and where is white there is black now

[@egads3696]

Would love to make one myself, surprised at the price of dice

[@kummer45]

Art produces technology. For this case you have seven characters for the discretization of an image. It's quite clever the premise. Again, this is parametric art.
:D

[@bedeviled2much376]

Brilliant!

[@Andrew-ry6qw]

Cool!

[@zsuzsannalukacs6735]

Fantastic !

[@eunssu76]

Wonderful! & JK. . .♡

[@jennglow4647]

Very cool 😮😃

[@objectdebate]

Dude. I can't even draw this. and hes doing this with dice. God damn

[@anna-alexa]

Классная идея!

[@anncohen2854]

Love it

[@jonathanbrowne8884]

Late to see this and comment, but have you considered pouring a clear epoxy resin? You wouldn't need to completely flood the piece, so you would still have the feel of each individual die, but it would lock them in place. Beautiful work! Really stunning

[@tarantulamadness6191]

They definitely lock them in place with glue.

[@unclejemima2017]

How do you know how many dice to buy and where to place them

[@phoebebaker1575]

So awesome

[@tomkresan8555]

looks like they darken the one die as needed. a sharpie?

[@ratanaheng9705]

Beautiful

[@jennglow4647]

Very cool 😀😮

[@JerseyAccent653]

0:39 was that Justin Bieber?

[@yes4459]

Yup

[@pouzzler]

Should build a specialized cnc

[@manikumar9109]

Where to buy dice.... any one tell me.

[@sambhavkumar5166]

They also make jungkook portrait also

[@Songo1126]

The dice has a black side?🤔

[@soeharto98]

hello friends, I will be very grateful if you tell an application or website to make a dice design or some kind of generator, thank you

[@diffyart]

I also want to know it

[@1x1pixelstudio]

I would definitely try to touch it if I saw one🤣

[@Alex-pr9um]

Ile kosztuje taki obraz

[@krazycanadian4250]

You would think someone that works with dice all day long would know that a single cube is a die.

[@thomasbeach5458]

Cool, I guess?

[@vladimirvlad2563]

i bet they have a contract with some obscure chinese dice factory!🤣🤣🤣🤣
chill it's a joke.

[@caseyclark6877]

But where is Andrew Dice Clay?

[@polomaseratti5007]

But they have to modify some dice to get there picture looking right
That’s what they don’t tell you

[@philipborchert8313]

Yeah it looks like at very least some of the #1 dice are blacked out.

[@TreeNinja1]

Those are not dices 🎲 on Queen Elizabeth.
