For those who didn’t know, last Sunday was the first official Steve Jobs day, and to pay homage to the man, Montreal-based artist Olivier Lefebvre has created a portrait of the Apple co-founder using 3750 deer apples, right here in the city where I live, in Mont-Saint-Hilaire, QC. Check it out:
Edit: In reply to the hater who has emailed me, no this is not a waste. These are deer apples, meaning apples that have fallen down their trees and have started rotting.
Merci Benoit!
Steve would be so happy to see this.
Now I want an apple, and I'm not talking about the brand…
who is this cereal killer?
sacrament! i hope he really did find all those pomme on the terre.
Ouin, Sacrament! :)
I find it important to mention to all of you that all the Apples used where deer apples, I would never use human consumption grade food for art. So yeah i got my hands dirty. Made for a really nice apple aroma tho! Cheers from
Montreal.
Even if they weren't, surely apples are washable, no?
That's a tribute to Steve Jobs. Nice one.

And people go hungry all over the world…
not nearly as big of a problem as never learning to read, imho.
Merci, Olivier… tres bien.
I guarantee you that at least one of those has a worm. :-)
And the apples are all decaying, just like Steve Jobs…. WHAT?!?!? Too soon?
I love the tribute, but as a photographer, I would be pretty disappointed if that is the best angle we could get of the tribute. I hope someone got up way high on a cherry picker or something.
Woking on that!
Very good, How long did it take? =o .
It is however unfortunate we may not see anything like this for Dennis Ritchie, who was much more of a influential figure in the history of computing.
RIP to them both.
Nice. Good job! Did you use McIntosh apples?
Thrasher Hat!
Woot
Excellent, creative piece of art! Remind us how fragile life is. Think, Mr. Jobs would like it :)
