CSS Experiments by Román Cortés

Román Cortés’ 3D Coke Can… entirely done in CSS

I’ve been following Román Cortés’ blog for some time now, as much for some reading en español as for the artistic and development-related content. I think the first post of his I saw was a reblogged copy of his CSS Homer, which shows Homer Simpson’s iconic face created entirely with textual and CSS elements. A nifty trick.

Recently, Román has continued his CSS explorations with some really fascinating, if not particularly practical, tricks and even forays into CSS2.

He’s posted some interesting things including a pseudo-3D CSS version of Velázquez’s famous Las Meninas and, rocketing to fame lately on Digg and Reddit, a 3D CSS Coke can. It’s really worth a look. I would say that what he’s doing is essentially replicating Flash capabilities without using Flash…

Check out his blog.
