That guy actually did an AMA about this last week.

CocoonWOMWOMWOM · 10 months

This is more awesome than WTF, I can't even solve one side of a rubiks cube. o.0

Link to the AMA I did is here... http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/m7p68/i_built_a_mosaic_of_mlk_using_4242_rubiks_cubes/

Midnight06 · 10 months

I think that would be fun for the first few rows then I'd probably invest in an android powered lego solving machine and set it up to solve each section accordingly. Then I would deem myself an artist.

smk3200 · 10 months

def not WTF. is that MLK? thats awesome

Spoggerific · 10 months

Hey guys, can we stop calling everything tedious or neat OCD? OCD is an actual disorder that can really fuck you up, and just because you like to see things neat doesn't mean you have it.

creepingdeathv2 · 10 months

Can anyone tell me who this artist is ?

diamened · 10 months

It's called cubism.

MrFecteau · 10 months

There's a more detailed write up on my blog about my "Dream Big" mosaic that you all have so wonderfully been enamored with. More pics too. http://petefecteau.com/2011/04/15/dream-big/

Am I the only person that read this like it was a line from Fight Club? (book or movie - take your pick).

Less WTF than FTW

finyacluck · 10 months

The terrible thing is that most people who see this are simply going to assume that he removed the stickers to create this.

bcRIPster · 10 months

OMG, he actually puzzled them all out?!? WTF, here I thought he just popped the corner and reorganized them like any sane person would have. Talk about suffering for your art.

cheesefan · 10 months

fuck that, just peel the stickers off.

jameson · 10 months

Would've been cooler if the image in the mosaic were him, sitting there working that rubik's cube.

therealaug · 10 months

first i was looking at him and the rubics cubes in front of him like holy shit... wtf is he doing? then looked at the boxes... seems a bit OCD... Then the background....MIND BLOWN

getwildskinnyerrday · 10 months

That may literally be the coolest thing I have ever seen.

DoinAMadness · 10 months

well this is incredibly impressive, doesn't deserve to be in wtf

Not WTF. Is MLK.

mgraf · 10 months

I am pretty sure invader did this first, and better.

Andernerd · 10 months

The WTF part is that people don't realize how much of a repost this is.

Garren191 · 10 months

This is definitely not OCD, this is art, and it is awesome!

Derm · 10 months

It's.. amazing

Q_Normal · 10 months

Wow!

Is the picture on the other side of the cubes that of a racist bigot?

Rick_n_Roll · 10 months

I believe you have my rubiks cube ?

arpeggi4 · 10 months

He's doing it all wrong! Someone should show him that the colors are supposed to MATCH on each side...

That's a cool image, but a lousy caption.

TheCallMeJerzee · 10 months

I have the same mouse!

teh_g · 10 months

I bet he doesn't even have OCD.

fanboat · 10 months

Rubik's cubes have red, green and blue, right? I wonder why he didn't make a similar image with RGB, would've probably had a mildly lower apparent resolution but truer color. Of course, it's art, so whatever he thought would look cool is probably the way to go.

GroundhogExpert · 10 months

TIL that Martin Luther King upside down looks EXACTLY like Jimi Hendrix.

fireorgan · 10 months

4242 cubes x $10ea = 42k. that's a lot more expensive than paint.

m4tthew · 10 months

I saw his work in chicago. It was stunning.

sammmymantha · 10 months

ahhh this was at artprize last year in grand rapids. it was so awesome to see up close!

Mastershmitty · 10 months

this is not OCD. All of those cubes would be solved if it was.

SpookyAmes · 10 months

I saw this a day or two ago, and it's not even WTF. It's awesome.

deadwisdom · 10 months

... where he became a successful, accomplished artist.

Gensega · 10 months

I went to see that in person. That was in Grand Rapids, MI's Artprize contest a a year ago. It was nuts.

mrdm242 · 10 months

"Is this it?"

"Nope!"

"Is this it?"

"Nope!"

MasterCharles · 10 months

I thought it was Bob Marley. Now I feel dumb.

gifforc · 10 months

but if he doesn't finish this, justin bieber will kill david hasselhoff.

Nuroman · 10 months

If you were to look at the backside of these would it be a "negative" or color-reversed image?

callmesuspect · 10 months

At first all I saw was the desk, "Okay, not really a big deal, guy doing a bunch of rubix cu-- HOLY SHIT THAT IS AWESOME"

Gfaqshoohaman · 10 months

...Whelp, I'm done for the rest of this year. Nothing else will ever impress me greater than this.

trollagorn · 10 months

Why is this in /wtf?

lynny130 · 10 months

holy shit...that's amazing

slaythebad · 10 months

There is no green in that mosaic. HAS THE WORLD LEARNED NOTHING?

JAGarcia92 · 10 months

It would be funny if he couldn't finish one.

cclementi6 · 10 months

If i had a rubiks cube for every time this picture has been posted, I could make that myself. It's actually not hard, it's just a heck of a lot of cubes.

twistmental · 10 months

It's either "create amazing and complex works of art" or "ritualistic serial murder". Glad he chose the former.

ContentWithOurDecay · 10 months

That's not OCD. That's art.

TheChrisRich · 10 months

Jack needs to play Minecraft (really shocked I'm the first to mention it!?)

chriswu · 10 months

Undoing thousands of rubix cubes sounds like the opposite of OCD. Or maybe he has a special form of ocd. I don't know, I'm not a psychiatrist. I also have lost interest since I have ADD.

lkasdfjl · 10 months

and what kind of amphetamines did this guy take during all this

soundslikebees · 10 months

I want this kind of OCD

Akiba89 · 10 months

holy crap

hugethorn12 · 10 months

My name is Jake and I'm OCD, I really expected this to be a picture of me.

crisk21 · 10 months

OCD =/= Artistic Ability

Not the same thing.

Phased · 10 months

Freaking karma whores repost this every damn day and get a shit load of upvotes for the same crap with a new title.

Serviet · 10 months

Looks like Colin Meloy

xeonrage · 10 months

more like repost, for those who are new to reddit

Bisschen · 10 months

As someone who actually has OCD I can say that not all of us are obsessed with putting everything in its place. I'm personally a slob, but I still have OCD.

Also you can't die from OCD. Just saying.

Twisted_Fate · 10 months

thats not ocd, thats a hobby.

Rhetorify · 10 months
