Despite all of those digital trends we have been following last days, we believe that the main reason the art "made in classic materials" still exist is the selfless dedication artists give themselves everyday on blank paper. This statement is again proved by an artworks of Huguette Despault May from Maryland, US with her intense love to charcoal as a medium.

Back to the Future by Alex Varanese

"I've explored that idea in this series by re-imagining four common products from 2010 as if they were designed in 1977: an mp3 player, a laptop, a mobile phone and a handheld video game system. I then created a series of fictitious but stylistically accurate print ads to market them, as well as a handful of abstract posters (you know, just for funsies)... The irony is that all post-modern, smugly self-referential retro porn aside, I'd gladly trade in my immaculately designed 21st century gadgets for these hideously clunky, faux-wood-paneled pieces of uber-kitsch. Sorry, Apple." - Alex Varanese
