Eric Andrew Lewis, a web developer at The New York Times, has just created an addictive new web tool that allows you to transform any photo into a colorful collage of emojis. Using Emoji Mosaic is as simple as choosing a photo and clicking "upload." Just be patient because processing may take a while. I wanted to see how well it worked, so I uploaded a picture of Lauren Mayberry. Here's the gorgeous Chvrches singer, who is made of shoes, pigs, pandas, frogs, teddy bears, dollar signs, etc.
When I was in high school, doodling on kicks was a thing. How cool to come into class, learn a few things, then walk out with a pair of scribbled-on sneakers. Even today, many basketball stars are using their shoes for much more than performance. Take a close look at their trainers and you'll find messages written all over. Now Nike is celebrating the process with the release of its Blazer Mid 77 Scribble. Aside from the hand-drawn sidewall Swoosh, the shoe also has smaller notes hidden all over, including the style name and the year it was made. The tongue is also equipped with the brand's logo, which has been hand-drawn in black. I really like the design, especially the imperfect lines. And since we're talking about scribbled-on sneakers, I can't not mention Niko Pelaez . He's a true shoe-drawing machine! [h/t: Sneaker News ]
