Awesemo, Neven
What tools do you use to do this?

Thanks. I took pictures of myself against a wall with a Canon Powershot A40 (oldie, goodie). My brother took some of the shots it would have been difficult for me to get.

Even before I ever heard of Hockney I had wanted to do something of this nature, mainly because my 2 Mpx camera prevented me from doing large prints. What if I combined many detail shots into one big one, I thought... and obviously, there's nothing new under the sun.

Anyway, the files were then processed in Photoshop for optimal color etc. and placed on a 5x5 canvas where I moved them around.

I didn't put too much thought into this and I only had about 30 pictures to work with, so I deviated from Hockney in allowing myself to scale and crop the 'pieces.' Now that I've got a taste for it, I'll try doing something more ambitious.
