MEGAPIXEL: A tribute and a thank you.

I don't know if I saw your art and it seeded with me the idea for Megapixels, or if I learned about your system and process after I had the general idea. But either way, I owe you a great deal.

In one of your documentaries, I heard you mention how important cell placement is for your portraits, so to be true to your work, I matched my Megapixel diamonds to where your original portrait had them.

There's so much more that I learned from you, and I just wanted to make this piece to say that without the path that you created, I wouldn't be here.

Rest in peace, Chuck Close.
