It’s almost 2019 and we live in a world where we celebrate holidays like “National Margarita Day” (hey, I’m not judging), communicate through gifs, and memes are a primary source of entertainment. So, it only makes sense that emojis are now considered a fine art medium! Check out these photo mosaic celebrity portraits made out of emojis!
Recently I came across an artist, Sergej Stoppel, that opened a design studio centered around drawing algorithms and robotics. With the help of his pen plotter named Karel, Sergej converts portraits into different forms of dot and line art. While experimenting with his style he created line art portrait mosaics.
I am sure we can all remember being in elementary school art class and cutting up newspapers, magazines and construction paper to make collages of a sailboat or a dog or maybe the really artistic kids tried a self-portrait. Well, I have come across a Miami based mixed media artist who brings collage art to a whole new level.
There are a few different photo mosaic mobile apps out there that allow you to create mosaics on your own. I decided to try out the top 5 iOs photo mosaic apps for the iPhone, and review them for you!
Instagram has quickly become my go to place for inspiration and ideas. Lately I have been seeing this cool feature where users are able to make their pictures take up more spaces than just that one little square on their page. Allowing images to take up more real estate on your page definitely makes an impact on followers. These grids are also totally reminiscent of a photo mosaic, so naturally I had to give it try.
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.
Omaha artist, Scott Blake has been creating mosaic artwork for years, I’ve even written about his Barcode Mosaics in the past. His latest project however, is a lot more hands on…well, thumbs on to be exact.
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.
