Artist creates giant portrait of Jack Bauer using London postcards

Fox Home Entertainment UK commissioned artist Quentin Devine to create a giant canvas mosaic portrait of Jack Bauer using 1,485 London post cards on a 24 metre square canvas in order to promote the UK release of 24: Live Another Day on DVD and Blu-Ray. Besides just the size of the canvas, there’s even more 24 themes – the artist was given a 24 hour deadline just like Jack Bauer always has, meaning one post card had to be laid on the canvas every minute to meet the deadline.

Devine used — you guessed it — 24 different types of London post cards featuring iconic images of the city including Big Ben, Beefeaters, The Ritz, London Eye and Black Taxis. The canvas was placed in Borough Market – a filming location used in 24: Live Another Day.
