Dan Peterson is a designer and illustrator, originally from Portland, OR. His experience in print and interactive design led to his latest project ‘Tiny Planets’ - an impressive group of images using both real photographs and remixed, edited photographs meshed together.

'Some are actual 360 panoramic photos turned into tiny planets, and others are heavily edited and remixed panoramic photos that make up abstract patterns.' -Dan Peterson.
