Paper Jam!

Have you ever looked closely at a newly printed paper after it comes out of your printer? Pay close attention to the spacing and placement of all those tiny ink dots.

Now imagine doing all of that by hand!
Well it’s not just a thought, it’s actually being done by the folks over at http://thehumanprinter.wordpress.com

They’ve churned out some amazing work!

It reminds me of seeing some similar work when I was way younger.
My mother had a friend whose son ‘dotted’ a beautiful picture of a horse’s head.
Pretty neat and has always stayed in mind.

Here is some of their work and an example of their work flow:

Great Dane

Yellow Dotting

Pink Great Dane

Great Dane

Matchbox

Oh yeah…I really like how each artist has their own special “dot” signature, very cool!

For some reason while writing this I can’t help but bring to mind that hilarious commercial for the Copy-Cat printer:
