I like to hop on Reddit now and then because they always seem to be on the cutting edge of trends, especially when it comes to technology. And as you probably already know, I also like to seek out other photo mosaic lovers to see what they’re up to in the hopes of finding something new! Most recently, while browsing, I came across some photo mosaic fan art that really blew me away.

With today being Inauguration Day, it is only appropriate to write about a project I found that Deep Focus, Now This, GIPHY, and Picture Mosaics have undertaken – A photo mosaic project that will make history.

Whether you call them hashtag mosaics, live event photo mosaics, or just super cool mosaic experiences, these photo mosaics are sure to amaze and make an impression. These types of activations have become increasingly popular at large events over the past few years. I recently attended a few nearby events where these mosaics were feature, but by different companies. While the companies accomplish a similar end product, I have found that there are some significant differences in how these solutions work. For a variety of reasons, I found that the solution I like the best is the Live Print Mosaic from Picture Mosaics.

I’m excited to share the new adventure I’ve decided to take on for 2017. I signed up at my local high school to give a presentation to the art students, on photography techniques & best practices – tips on how to improve their photo skills.

Keep your eyes out for this one! Fonterra Australia is on a mission to collect thousands of photographs over the next three months to create a massive photo mosaic wall mural at the entrance of their plant in Australia.

In my recent internet adventures, I stumbled upon a truly hidden gem in Los Angeles, California – The Mosaic Tile House. A house with nearly every square inch covered in mosaic tile!

With the big site move and the chaos of the holiday season, I haven’t had much time to write lately. But for this, I just had to stop and share. I’m done all my holiday shopping – with over two weeks to spare! If you know me, that is completely unheard of.

I need to put aside our photo mosaic talk for this post because this is just an amazing story that needs to be shared. My New York readers might know him from his work on sidewalks, stoops, and planters; the Mosaic Man’s work is widely acclaimed. After serving in Vietnam, Jim Power briefly worked in construction and lived on the streets, making his first mosaic pole in 1988. He was then coined Mosaic Man by the Village Voice. He’s since designed seven mosaic light poles for his Astor Place community.

Are you familiar with the proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child”? I feel like this can apply to many walks of life; a strong community is important and essential. That’s part of the reason I love huge photo mosaic projects. I love the teambuilding and community support that takes place when creating gigantic works of art! I was recently reading about the work of eL Seed, a French-Tunisian street artist, who created a mosaic mural on a number of buildings in Manshiyat Naser, a suburb of Cairo.
