Portrait of 2.1 Mn Ink Dots



















Miguel Endara made a portrait of Benjamin is an epitome of patience and persistence. The painting is supposed to have around 1.2 million dots done with a pen at the speed of 4.25 dots a second. The wondrous work took 138 hours to come up and has been circulating in prints in order to help raise money for Benjamin to fetch him a new social security number.


























Now, what does the portrait with a million dots got to do with Benjamin? Well, it was when the United States of America denied a social security number to Benjamin by arguing that he has already got one, that Miguel Endara was inspired to help the poor man through his art.
