He says: This is a mosaic I did using those Benjamin Moore paint chips you can get from hardware stores. After a lot of time, patience, photoshop, and numerous trips to ACE hardware, I was finally able to finish.
Totally clever, budget friendly and wonderfully exectued!
Thanks for the inspiration, Nite.

This is so weird -- I think I must be on the same wavelength as Re-Nest considering that this article http://bit.ly/ajfBW was just posted two days ago, also about paint chip art.

Love, love this idea! Any chance to get a copy of your M.Monroe paint chip arrangement in order to duplicate it?? It truly is a piece of art and it would be awesome on my brown bedroom wall! (I totally understand if you don't want to share it too.....!) Thank you.

You may find this useful for creating mosaic art. We created this to remove some of the complexity from mosaic wall art. It's not perfect, but someone might find it useful.

very cool! I was just recently trying to come up with a new mosiac material that would be more lightweight than tile. Now I have it! And the perfect way to reuse the thousands of paint samples I have stuffed in a drawer!
