What Does the Illustrated Face of the Digital World Look Like?

I you were to ask digital artist and illustrator Charis Tsevis it might look a lot like this. The Greece native has been honing his skills since the late 80s, earning multiple degrees in visual design, which goes a long way to explain his combined love of computer graphics and illustrations – two disciplines that the artist has been able to merge beautifully in one of his latest projects.

Tsevis explains the series of mosaic portraits quite simply:

I have been asked to create 6 mosaic portraits of 6 IT giants: Grace Hopper, Cynthia Breazeal, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Sir Clive Sinclair and Tomohiro Nishikado. For each of them I tried to create a mosaic portrait made up of elements their creations or their ideas.

It’s no secret that I’m a devoted fan of computer history and cyberculture. I have this passion for more than 20 years now. Been studying, collecting old machines, retro gadgets, especially old Apples but also Sinclairs, Amstrads, Bulls, Commodores… I am considering this computer archeology passion one of the more romantic activities I ever had.
