For Halloween this year, I was in a pinch. I was going to the Apes & Androids concert (which was amazing), and costumes were required. So the night before Halloween, I decided that I was going to use the large-format printer that we have at Eyebeam from Invisible Threads to make a “low-res me” costume. Josh Dick was kind enough to take a few pictures of me with his amazing camera, and I blew them up to life size, pixelated them in Photoshop, and then printed it all out on canvas. You can print out your own low-res Jeff costume if you happen to have a large-format printer and some canvas lying around. Just download the 428k, 2520 x 11,520 (3 foot x 15 foot) JPEG on the left and go crazy!
I only had 3 hours to put the whole thing together after I got back from Iowa (post about that coming soon), so it is a little ghetto looking, but the handful of people who understood waht I was supposed to be semed to be impressed. Overall, it was a success. I think I will try it again next year and leave myself a little more time.

Not only are you low res, but you also look like a bad photo-shopping insertion job, even when you are actually present in the photo. That’s a double-whammy! Good job!
