You never know who's birthday it might be today..

A huge amount of immensely colourful tiny pieces of pictures put together to create a whole new world- that can only be the art of James Rizzi!
Who on Earth is James Rizzi? I didn't know until I found out it's his birthday today and he's indeed well worth knowing, I guess I've seen his pictures before but never knew the artist behind these colourful explosions. He's a New Yorker and apparently he had a very happy childhood, judging not only from his pictures but quoting from his website: "The subject matter of Rizzi's work is the celebration of his happy childhood in New York." If I look at those birds I believe it instantly..
If you want to know how he creates pictures like this
just have a look at the "Process".
He must be such an optimist, everyone in his pictures seems to be smiling with some part of the body, even the fish. I guess if you're able to express such a whirlwind of happiness through your art and share it with other people, then you must be a true magician because you're making them smile, something which has become quite hard to achieve by now.
Picasso, I think, once said: "It's so difficult to become a child again once you've grown up."
