After 2 years of off-and-on inspiration, I've finally finished my 1000 avatars project.

The goal was to take one thousand different mugshots of avatars around the grid while travelling around randomly. I normally went to where there were a lot of dots on the map at any given time, and thus ended up at a lot of clubs, musical events, discussion panels, and welcome areas.

There are no names attached to the avatars, but who knows, perhaps you are in there somewhere. :)

Congratulations on finishing your project. I've seen a number of messages from you about it in my friendfeed stream, presumably stuff you posted on Twitter. I looked at it several hundred faces ago.

Here's a high-res mosiac of the SL logo made with the faces.

That link is not working for me at this moment.

Flickr says it can't be displayed because it contains errors.

Repeats, or just people looking similar?

According to the software it only needed to duplicate about 7-8 images in the entire mosaic.

It worked fine for me today (2/4/10). What a great project. I love it. And the SL logo mosaic looks so cool :) Nice work.

Quite a few repeats.. I'd have to go back and look, but it seemed to be at least 25-30, and they seemed to be identical.

Even still, the image looks like 999 image total from the count (not including the right-most column, which is mostly cropped), so any dupes means you're missing a few, unless they are the cropped ones. <.<

That's not meant to be a criticism, btw; just happened to notice while examining it in detail. :) It is an amazing project. I'm only sorry there's no (or few; I might've missed them) Dragons in there. :)

Very nice.
Well done.

There sure is a lot of bad hair out there.
I think the answer is more hats :)
