This morning we are smitten with these paintings by Lauren DiCioccio on one of our favorite art sites, 20×200. The top is a page from Vogue and the bottom a page from Vanity Fair. We’ll let her explain:

“Fashion magazines are the source materials for my series color codification dot drawings. I make each piece on a sheet of frosted mylar laid over a magazine page. After assigning a color to every letter in the alphabet (numbers are in grayscale, 0=white and 9=black), I apply tiny dots of paint over every character on the page. Each drawing I make has a different color codification, and therefore a different palette. The resulting painting is a legible blur of dots in the form of the article’s layout — like a system of Braille for the color inclined.”

Brilliant, no? We bought the Vogue print as a bit of office inspiration :)
