Lit from within with LEDs, the sculptures project light through tiny holes in their plastic skin—in effect becoming star projectors. Ogaki has been working on the series since 2007. via Colossal Here are some other posts from our archives you might find interesting.

Hoewel dit alleen al klinkt als een mooi idee, zijn enkele van de portretten gemaakt onder invloed van verschillende drugs. Inmiddels heeft hij ongeveer 8.000 zelfportretten gemaakt. Zoals je kan zien hebben de verschillende drugs allemaal een andere uitwerking op zijn creativiteit.

The following is a list of colors . A number of the color swatches below are taken from domain-specific naming schemes such as X11 or HTML4 . RGB values are given for each swatch because such standards are defined in terms of the sRGB color space . It is not possible to accurately convert many of these swatches to CMYK values because of the differing gamuts of the two spaces, but the color management systems built into operating systems and image editing software attempt such conversions as accurately as possible. The HSV (hue, saturation, value) color space values, also known as HSB (hue, saturation, brightness), and the hex triplets (for HTML web colors ) are also given in the following table.
