Congratulations to Bert Monroy!

Bert is an incredibly gifted digital artist doing incredible work! (I took a Photoshop class with Bert back in 1997 — I was incredibly impressed back then, and I think you will be as well when you see his work.)

In case you can’t read the fine print:

• The image size is 60 inches by 300 inches.
• The flattened file weighs in at 6.52 Gigabytes.
• It took four years to create.
• The painting is comprised of almost three thousand individual Photoshop and Illustrator files.
• Taking a cumulative total of all the files, the overall image contains over 500,000 layers.
