The Circlism video was a nice surprise, though it could use a human voice!

Circlism Entry for Wikipedia: A work in progress!

...CIRCLISM... (sur`kliz`em) n. application of paint by diagramming an image in terms of tiny circles or figures to create an effect of subtle and complex dimensions. A school of painting exemplified by Stresino in the early 21st century United States. {Middle English cercle from old French, from Latin circulus} circle- a plane curve everywhere equidistant from a given fixed point, the center. surklizt n. & adj. sur`kliz`tic adj. Compare pointillism.

        Edward C. Stresino introduced to the art world his invention of Circlism in the year 1985. The development of Circlism comes from the idea of drawing an image in terms of tiny circles or shapes to create a unique perspective. In The Story of Circlism (published by Xlibris 2012) on page 11 "This perspective allows the viewer to see through the eyes of the artist." The inception of Circlism as Stresino states in his book, occurred in 1985 during his high school Biology Class. Stresino was viewing a Biology film involving the process of cell division known as mitosis. This process involves the chromosomes in the nucleus of the parent cell to duplicate and divide into two identical sets. This film presentation inspired Stresino to start drawing circles, and dividing them until they could be divided no more.

           Examples of Circlism have been exhibited in Edward C. Stresino’s artwork : at the Burbank Police and Fire Museum, Hangar 1018 benefiting Katrina survivors, The Pinewood Derby at Hangar 1018 in Los Angeles, and in Sacramento at the California State Teacher's Federal Building.

Kirkus Book Review:

      Visual artist Edward C. Stresino, in his debut, describes the origins of his artistic technique with examples and stories.
      In 1985, the author, while taking a high school biology class, became extremely focused on the concept of mitosis, a form of cell division that splits a cell in two, dividing its chromosomes into two identical sets. 
     This inspired him to begin creating drawings composed of tiny circles. His paintings dominate the pages of this book and provide readers with vivid examples of his technique, which he calls “Circlism.”

Finally getting the Recognition that Stresino deserves!

As I usually do I was doing my Circlism search  on Google and I ran across this :

 Which led me to a report that had been done in Crete, Greece introducing a program that can Circlize pictures using an algorithm which they define as circle packing!   In the first few pages of the report it acknowledges that Edward C. Stresino first introduces Circlism in 1985!   It is hard to believe that in two more years Circlism will have its thirtieth anniversary!
