Romain Laurent: We love this selection of new animated GIFs from talented French artist and photographer Romain Laurent, who continues to create awesome portraits using the technique of cinemagraph – photographs with a small animated loop. Fantastic work!
Caiozzama: We love the clever satirical collages of Chilean street artist Caiozzama, who plays with the symbols of consumerism and icons of modern society, such as social media and the logos of major global brands. Based in Santiago, Caiozzama’s creations respond to current events taking place in the world, thanks to the sharp and keen eye of the artist, and are a visual commentary on the impacts of globalisation. Awesome stuff!
Ivan Alifan: We love these large format oil paintings created by Russian artist Ivan Alifan, who uses visual ambiguity to generate curiosity, intrigue and slight disgust in his series It’s Not Milk. Through these dripping and oozing portraits, Ivan Alifan explores ideas of sexuality and eroticism with an unsettling modern gaze. Fantastic stuff!
Eating Makeup: Ummm ok, well this is a very strange short film, trashy and completely twisted…so we obviously love it! Imagined and directed by the LA artist Jennifer Juniper Stratford, if you ever wondered what a beauty vlogger’s worst nightmares are made of, we think ‘Eating Makeup’ is a good starting point…Enjoy and Happy Friday, peeps! 🙂
Domenic Bahmann: We love this new selection of creations by Australian designer and visual artist Domenic Bahmann, aka Domfriday, who likes to fill his Instagram with interesting conceptual compositions, playing with life’s everyday objects to create funny and somewhat offbeat images.
Maysgrafx: Loving the psychedelic creations of Justin Mays, aka Maysgrafx, designer and animator based in Los Angeles, who mixes digital collages and glitch art to create visually explosive and colourful neon compositions. Selected art prints by Maysgrafx are currently available for purchase via society6 – Awesome stuff! 🙂
INPUT/OUTPUT: Directed by the talented Terri Timely and Park Pictures, INPUT/OUTPUT is an interesting, clever, and somewhat surreal short film, made up of the small moments in everyday life. Awesome, Love it! 🙂
Ashly Stohl: In her Charth Vader series, photographer Ashly Stohl captures her young son Charlie wearing a Darth Vader mask in order to illustrate some of the darkest moments of childhood. Behind this light-hearted reference to Star Wars and pop culture, Ashly Stohl tries to remind us that for her son suffering from ocular albinism, like for many other children, childhood is not only made of joyful moments. Awesome work 🙂
Charlie Davoli: We love the work of photographer Charlie Davoli who creates unique and surreal Instagram images which lead you into a dreamlike universe, mixing fantastical landscapes, gigantic characters, and surprising compositions. An amazing series, Charlie Davoli is certainly worth following – check out the selection of pics we’ve posted below. 🙂
Socality Barbie: Socality Barbie is the Instagram account of a hipster Barbie, who is now at more than 699,000 followers. An unexpected and ironic success, Socality Barbie was created by a professional photographer, based in Oregon, who wanted above all to parody the similarity of all Instagram accounts. Very funny and clever – Barbie never looked so random 😉
