Domino Dump Turns Into Van Gogh Painting [Video]
We’ve seen a lot of domino projects in our day, but this is the first one we’ve seen that turns into a piece of classic art when it’s done.
Courtesy of domino enthusiast FlippyCat:
I recreated Vincent van Gogh’s “Starry Night” from just over 7,000 dominos. The second attempt took about 11 hours total to build.
The first attempt failed, when I dropped a screw from the camera rig onto it. I was able to improve the swirling clouds better in the second attempt as a result though. I do not know how long the first attempt took, but I did not have any accidents building like I did in the second attempt!
Next up, Edvard Munch’s The Scream?

Jason Fitzpatrick is warranty-voiding DIYer and all around geek. When he's not documenting mods and hacks he's doing his best to make sure a generation of college students graduate knowing they should put their pants on one leg at a time and go on to greatness, just like Bruce Dickinson. You can follow him on Google+ if you'd like.

Flippycat is awesome. He used to have the cat knock the dominoes down sometimes.
amazing how much planning and patience is required, all to be sacrificed in a matter of seconds. i’d love to see something like this done with black-topped dominoes, so you couldn’t see the colors until after the pieces fell, the art would appear out of darkness. still, wonderful work!
Nice, also check Domino Day at Youtube.
wonderful this my favorite painting you have done it justice.
