cssvault - inspiring creativity

This illustration of Homer Simpson was created using pure HTML and CSS. The source website is written in Spanish, and it doesn’t look like any explanation was given on the creative process. Looks like it took a lot of time to create though. Ingenious!

The resulting image displays properly across most modern browsers:

• Internet Explorer 5.5, 6 y 7
• Opera 9
• Firefox 2
• Safari 3

I have even tested it in Firefox 3 and it displays properly with no issues.

Here is the complete HTML code used to create CSS Homer:
