I don't think I ever shared this here, here's a movie related piece of art I made between 2018 and 2020

Posted by Guigue (aka Guigue) Apr 7 '22, 12:32

It's made with about 6500 nails and a single thread that's over 4km long. The whole thing is 6.5ft x 3.5ft. Took me forever, but I really like the result. Definitely a conversation piece!

If Rick were made of spare parts, he would be Nick from Fallout 4. - Qale Apr 7, 13:32
How did you plan that out? I assume you had to have some kind of plan to generate the image you had in your head -- nm - oblique Apr 7, 13:14 2
- It's actually a real promo image for Casablanca that I printed to the right size, then i used a nail to punch the contours of the different sections - Guigue Apr 7, 13:21 [Attachment] 1

no only it is well done, beautiful, good use of the medium...but dang that's detirmination and commitment...how many hours would you say? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 7, 12:43 1
- I would say somewhere between 500 and 1000 hours. Did it over such a long period of time that it's hard to estimate. - Guigue Apr 7, 12:46
Looks great! Your eyes must have been bleeding by the time you were done. -- nm - jnine Apr 7, 12:43 1

Thanks for the nice comments! I've been hiding it (from the internet) for a while because it was missing a frame. Finally got it this week, so glad - Guigue Apr 7, 12:40
This is truly, truly incredible -- nm - MDH Apr 7, 12:40
amazing. I've never seen anything like it. -- nm - St. Epiphany Apr 7, 12:40
How did you get a 4km long thread? - sycor Apr 7, 12:38 5
- Spools are surprisingly long! They're 5000+ yards for the bigger ones -- (link) - Guigue Apr 7, 12:44 2
  - Duh, makes sense. I guess the km threw me off. It wasn't in freedom units so I got confused. That and the art blew my brain a little bit. -- nm* - sycor Apr 7, 12:48
  - (I estimate 4km+ based on what's left, but it's hard to say really) - Guigue Apr 7, 12:48
- He found a 5 km long thread and cut off a bit. -- nm - Reagen Apr 7, 12:42
- That was my first question -- nm - MDH Apr 7, 12:40
fantastic -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 7, 12:38
