Description
EDIT 12/16/09: A reworked version can be found here dencii.deviantart.com/art/Let-…I finally got myself into making a piece again after a long time. Been busy with my band which of course I will mercilessly promote here: www.myspace.com/40dayspilipina… I have uploaded 1 Thrash Metal track and 1 song you would wanna make love to.
On to the project: This is part 2 of what I'm planning to do as a series after the success of my John Lennon piece (which can be seen here: dencii.deviantart.com/art/John… )
MLKJr. photo reference here: www.africawithin.com/mlking/ml…
Once again, nothing but Bickham Script Pro letters, numbers and characters. Scaled, not distorted. About 8-9 shades of gray.
Next up would probably be JFK or Mother Theresa or Gandhi.
As usual you may download, share, print. Just don't steal or sell. But of course I secretly want you to so if I ever catch you, then I'll sue you so I won't have to look for a job.

awesome! does it need to be an actual photo of him?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. I use large sized, high quality photos that's why I can squeeze in that much detail in my the final work. Unfortunately for Gandhi, cameras weren't that good back then and his pics were usually taken under strong sunlight meaning the shadows aren't as strong and emotional compared to those of MLK and John Lennon. I'll see what I can do though.

If I come across a shot that i think would fit your needs, i will be sure to let you know!

No worries. I just finished the Gandhi piece here

I hope you like it as much as the MLK.

Sorry about that. I had to redo it but it's up now and you can check it out here. [link] It may not be as impressive as the MLK though since the reference pic isn't high quality. I hope you'll like it.

Yes, but now people are judged by other things. I'll just have to keep dreaming.
I love this. Really, I do. It deserves to be on an inspirational poster!

When are you going to do one of George W Bush?
Hahahaahahaha, just kidding. (Unless it was done entirely using the letters F, U, C, K, Y, O, U, B, A, S, T, A, R, D, in no particular order of course.)
But onto the seriousness-
This is frigging amazing work.
Quick question...
Are the letters random or are they from one of Dr. King's speeches? And if so, which one?
Also, I see you're also a fan of the greatest metal band ever - PANTERA.
PLEASE do one of Dimebag Darrell !!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm begging you.
