Check out this link: Threads. From what I could tell, the artist is named Mondongo and the piece was created in 2008. Can you imagine making something like this? You cant just blend, like you blend paint. If you're sleeve comes to close to it, the thread will stick to your shirt and mess it up. I'm amazed! I wonder if the artist ever decided to do a full portrait like this. Wowwwww!
