Some guy stuck a GPS tracker in a parcel and made DHL carry it around to a bunch of places, tracking the movement he made this self-portrait of himself:

Pics and youtube vids of what he did:

Wow that's so sweet

Holy crap, thats pretty damn impressive. But would it really be his drawing? since DHL did all the work?

haha, thats pretty aweosme;

Now if anyone bothered to read the whole thing, how did he get DHL to do those little loops in the ocean without actually going anywhere? Or are there just really small places there...,

I'm curious as to how he got them to do loops in the middle of the ocean.

There would be little islands I believe. Imagine the cash he scammed out of DHL

imagine if this was just a viral for DHL.

oh wait. it is.

the dude is wearing the same grey hoodie 55 days later when the package comes back to him? lols. there is NO WAY anybody would do this off there own back.

He has a stack of con notes the thickness of a dictionary, I bet he paid for it all?

Well that was redundant midda.

Also, I'm glad I pointed out in the original post that the self-portrait was in fact of himself, just if you weren't sure.

d0mino, ooh conspiracy, I like it!

It's probably DHL advertising, not because he is wearing the same jumper 55days later but because he got to follow the package and fly with DHL which suggests that it was either a funded arty product or its DHL viral marketing.

what a pretentious prick.. why make a self portrait when he could have sent the world a message of hope by putting something like "peace", "love" or "down with islam"

The lines don't match up!!!!

that's kinda pointless

Well that was redundant midda.

Your post wasn't there when I was writing mine.

Now if anyone bothered to read the whole thing, how did he get DHL to do those little loops in the ocean without actually going anywhere?

If you look at the instructions he gave to DHL, some of the places he told them to go aren't even places, they're just longitude and latitude co-ordinates.

haha so some bastard had to fly out and do a little lap for one parcel... haha.. seems to me like they'd just think "get f***ed" and not do it.

wow. i think the self-portraits s***s all over a message of hope.

it is so symbolic of the "me culture" of today. i love it.

yeah I was glad it was a self-portrait because my first impression was "oh no... it's Super Jesus..."

it woulda been so much simpler if he had combed his hair

atleast he can say hes been all over the world.

He should have shaved his head first. Would have saved some time and pointless loop deliveries.

you just don't geddit do you.

Very underwhelming

^ indeed the dirty one speaks the truth MEH!!

seems a bit iffy to me

how did he get to through Iraq and some of the other war-torn african countries.

it goes nowhere near iraq.

Biggest waste of money in the world

comments on hackaday and make reckon that the project looks sus.

this isn't the biggest drawing in the world, it's the biggest drawing on a map on a screen, fail

You would have to be a f***ing clueless moron to think that is real. It is f***ing impossible on so many levels you tards

I coulda done a bigga one if I wanted.....

It is f***ing impossible on so many levels

With lots of money it's not.

... so rather than have a pc output the data and generate the pic he has a video of him drawing it freehand in a few seconds...

Apparently it was a hoax.

This is fictional work. DHL did not transport the GPS at any time

That's in red at the bottom of the page. Bit hard to miss.
