Australian artist, Guy Whitby has recently caught my attention with his ironic and intriguing button mosaic celebrity portraits.

What’s Black, white, and read everyday? Barcodes of course. Few artists have experimented with these simple graphic icons. But wouldn’t you have guessed it, I found an artist who turns them into mosaics! Florida based artist Scott Blake has devoted his creative passion to barcodes. From web work to paintings, Blake has dabbled in almost every field of artistic expression. Due to my love for photo mosaics, I want to focus on his digital mosaic portraits. I appreciate that these mosaics have an actual pattern to them and are not simply laid on a vertical and horizontal grid. 

A friend of mine on Facebook shared a link on my wall of the most adorable mosaic, the 2012 First Cheerios Mosaic! It is an interactive online mosaic reaching out to parents to be a part of a photographic monument. This is an excellent way for families to celebrate together one of their toddler’s momentous “firsts”!

For all those hard core Harley-Davidson fans, an interactive online mosaic has been created. Thousands of Harley-Davidson fans uploaded photos to be included in the Harley-Davidson 2010 motorcycle catalog an online interactive version. be sure to check it out here: http://www.h-d-mosaic.com
