Djibril Cissé: From Western Africa with goals

Djibril Cissé: From Western Africa with goals, originally uploaded by tsevis.

Mosaic portrait of Djibril Cissé, the French footballer of Ivorian descent who is making every Panathinaikos FC fan happy.
I am wishing Djibril to be recalled to the French National team and play in South Africa's World Cup 2010.

This mosaic is inspired by the textile patterns of Western African countries like Mali, Ivory Coast, Ghana...

Djibril Cissé: Panathinaikos 2009-2010

Djibril Cissé: Panathinaikos 2009-2010, originally uploaded by tsevis.

I have created this mosaic portrait of Djibril Cissé last August. I was quite optimistic about this talented football player and the role he could play in my favorite team, Panathinaikos FC (Athens). But I could never imagine that he would have scored so many goals and he could lead Panathinaikos to the top.
Yesterday he scored twice and Panathinaikos won against AC Roma in Rome for Europa Cup. So, thanks a lot, Djibril! You are great!
Hope you are gonna be recalled to represent France to the World Cup 2010 finals in South Africa. I am not a fan of the "tricolor" team but you surely deserve a place there.

Design Walk 2010: Analog VS digital

Design Walk 2010: Analog VS digital, originally uploaded by tsevis.

This is a mosaic illustration made in collaboration with my friends at the Indyvisual Design Collective. These good fellas asked me to play with them on the subject "analog VS digital". They have been given this subject by Double Decker, curators of the Design Walk 2010.
The idea of Petros Voulgaris, Costas Vassilakis, Stavros Georgakopoulos, Christos Kourtoglou and Giorgos Chandrinos was to create a digital mosaic and then they would reconstruct it in an analog mode.
We chose to use the eyes from the poster of the Mathieu Kassovitz's "La Heine" movie. My friends are thinking that the film is not only a great classic but it's also expressing a period that our country is also living lately.
To provide a revolutionary response to this social mess we chose to use some leftist or military clichés like the star or the thunder but enrich them with floppies and scissors that are symbols of digital and analog creativity. The Black-Red-Yellow colors are not used only because we wanted to incorporate another cliché. These are the actual colors of the Indyvisuals' working space. (I think this guys are supporting a yellow soccer team or something... :-))

You can watch the making of the analog version of the mosaic.

Me, Blogger and the net...

I am posting this after more than two years of silence in Blogspot just to inform you about what you probably have understood. I never liked Blogger and I am really finding it not pleasant to mess with its code. I mean this is soooo bad user experience right?
Therefore I have found other ways to express myself and communicate my activities on the net.
Bellow you can find a big list of places where you can find me:
I may continue to post some photos or designs here through the Flickr "Blog This" version.
If someone could suggest some other Blogger bookmarklet style scripts I would be grateful.
