You know I love staying on top of the coolest new trends in art and tech. Whether it’s a robot that can draw my picture or a huge photo mosaic on a jumbotron, if it’s creative, I’m all in! But nothing has grabbed my attention (and imagination) like the recent boom in generative Ai.

Brooklyn based artist, Dustin Yellin has left me in awe with his photo mosaic sculptures! His combination of collage, photo mosaic, painting, and sculpture work are all rolled into one mind-bending art form.

One of the reasons I love photo mosaics, and any type of mosaic for that matter, is that the possibilities are endless! Today on the blog, I am sharing a captivating installation by renowned artist, Noah Scalin.

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.

For five consecutive years, Montana resident Gary Tallman has created intricately detailed mosaics out of chopped firewood, also referred to as cordwood. Each design takes more than 20 hours of labor to construct, not counting the initial design and sorting of the wood by color. The variety of colors and shades that naturally occur in the wood grain is phenomenal; in an interview with the Great Falls Tribune, Tallman compares each piece of wood to a pixel in a digital image. By combining different colors of wood, he can create lush shades and textures.

Have you ever looked at a photo or a piece of art for what feels like an eternity?  Your eyes continue to scan over it. There’s something about it keeping you fixated, but your mind just can’t seem to grasp its mystery.  In my web-travels, I stumbled upon an article on PetaPixel featuring the work of Bela Borsodi, a New York-based photographer who has particularly framed this photo to yield very interesting results!

As a photographer and art enthusiast, I am always intrigued when I come across an innovative art form or technique. I was looking at a sketching tutorial on YouTube recently and this video came up of an artist who creates portraits in one single pen stroke. Artist, Chan Hwee Chong recreated these famous portraits by precisely drawing one single line in a swirling motion.
