mike helped me prototype out how the pieces would look spray painted and wired together. i was unsure about the spacing around, but am liking that it is looking like individual pieces (pixels). I'm embracing the whole advent of the digital and it's affect on photography. i also like breaking up the integrity of the image / surface / body as i have done with other pieces.

i didn't want any electronics on the front where the leds would be to be distracting. mike modified the design of the board a little such that the resistors mount on the "back", and lights go through holes and mount on back, so that i could have that and save some money and order single layer boards. i ordered 7200 yesterday (an extra 1000 will be for another project i'm cooking up -- a suit of leds -- yes i may be a little insane).
