Beppe Grillo for Panorama (Italian weekly) (by tsevis)

Beppe Grillo is the hottest European politician today. His enemies are calling him names like clown, demagogue or even Mussolini while his followers are finding in him the person who inspires a real political movement of hope and change. As I am considering Italy something like a second homeland I am particularly interested in the subject and very happy when Panorama magazine asked me to create this cover. I am not sure if I would follow or vote Grillo. But I am really happy that he is around and he's opening the real debates for Europe's and Italy's future. You can see the cover on Panorama's website here. (Personally I don't agree with the article) Best viewed large. Attention: Big file.

<b>The guy (as you could easily understand) is holding a Lifebuoy. But that wasn't my job. :-)</b>

Mosaic illustration for the Lifebuoi (Unilever) campaign in Dubai. This celebrating guy is made out of thousands of handprints.

I am not working in Guinness Records :-) but this one is probably the biggest and surely one the biggest mosaic images ever made. The actual billboard in Dubai is 66 ft high and more 600 ft long. You can see it bellow.

This work is done in collaboration with the great team of LOWE DUBAI advertising. Thanks Chris and team! Based on a photo by Andresr from Shutterstock and hundreds of handprints photos from many photographers (Sorry, it's quite impossible to name them all here).

David Fincher: Portraying the social network icon (by Charis Tsevis)

David Fincher: Portraying the social network icon

Over the past few months Facebook is in the center of the media's attention. That's for sure!

The social network reached the impressed landmark of 500 million registered and active users. And to add to this, Mark Zuckerberg decided to enter the charity world with a great contribution to public education. 

But as always, success comes with a price. Facebook has started receiving criticism and various complaints. First, the intense focus on their privacy policies. Then, the technical issues causing serious delays and even black-outs, and last but not least,  the "The Social Network"  movie by David Fincher,  where Zuckerberg is portrayed as an egomaniac who stole the ideas of his friends. I have a more sympathetic point of view towards Mark Zuckerberg than his criticizers because I like people who create, and know that success always attracts harsh stories. 

My first Facebook related mosaic was of Zuckerberg for WIRED Magazine - published in July 2010,  and has since been been republished in many prestigious international media. You can see the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tsevis/4785888323/">Mark Zuckerberg mosaic portrait here</a>. 

So when Sophie Jouanneault,  Art Director of the French cinema magazine "Technikart",  asked me for a mosaic portrait of director David Fincher, I was more than happy to create another portrait related to the Facebook saga. 

David and Mark seem to have a lot in common - both bright,  creative minds that have created valuable work.
