3rd Wave of Inspiration
Since 2003
"British artist James Mylne makes photo-realistic images using essentially a ballpoint pen, and sometimes he mixes other materials such as ink, marker, and spray paint. His drawings demand a great deal of concentration because one wrong stroke, can spoil the whole portrait." via Illusion Scene 360
Work by Land, the design studio of Caleb Owen Everitt and Ryan Rhodes, produce some seriously cool work.
"In every location Thomas Barbey has traveled to, he has taken photographs. He uses the pictures to create artistic montages of a imaginary concepts, which are technically made with a combination of negatives, pre-planned double exposures, and/or other methods. His work is heavily inspired by his travels, everyday life, and art by Rene Magritte, M.C. Escher, and Roger Dean." via Illusion Scene360
Classy figurative hyper-realism artist Simon Hennessey
My paintings are perceived as a reflection of reality but in truth the artwork transcends into its own abstraction of reality. Through using the camera as a visual source for painting I am able to create false illusions that are judged as our own reality.
"I’m Not There is an ongoing series of portraits by photographer Pol Úbeda Hervàs who lives and works in Barcelona. He says the series came from changes in his life that left him unsure of who he is, but decided to leave the shoes as a small reminder that there was at least some fragment of his personality left behind, more than just a shadow." via Colossal
How can we accept that we are changing? How can we accept we hardly recognize ourselves in certain situations? I am changing at this very moment of my life. I do not react in the same ways I used to. I am surprised. Is that me? These pictures are the way I see myself now. My shadow is there but I erase myself because I don´t know who I am any longer. The shoes remain only to make sure there is something more than… a shadow.

I was really touched with this video, so balanced and self-explaining
We were happy that had a small talk with talented visual artist Joanie Lemercier known as a part of AntiVJ team. Joanie shows his latest projection mapping on wall mounted paper origami. My name is Joanie Lemercier, I'm a visual artist and my work is based around light projected onto 3 dimensional canvases. Over the past few year I've been working a lot with architecture, and projection mapping onto facades with the visual label AntiVJ (www.antivj.com), but lately I've been exploring much smaller structures, experimenting with pencil, paper, tape and projected light.
This piece is a result of a short residency I did in a gallery space near Birmingham (UK) a few weeks ago. All I used was A4 paper, folded into 7 different sizes pyramids, and taped to the wall. I really like using a very basic geometric shape, and repeat it several times to create more organic structures. I then use a video projector to map the light onto the structure and to animate the composition. I am now working on similar pieces on a much smaller scale made of porcelain.

"A new world" 20-13 is an experimental artwork/illustration I did as a personal project. I'm currently working on a limited edition print version and hope I can give you some updates soon. In the meantime enjoy the digital mobile wallpapers.
I think sometimes the drawing procrastination on Geography studies can help to form the future of an artist. But that is not what happened to Edward Fairburn that uses geographical maps as a canvases just giving them a new life through drawing awesome portraits.
Once we posted the cardboard sculpture made for MINI advertising "Ghettoblaster" made by Bartek Elsner. Today we want to focus on his personal portfolio full of awesome cardboard sculptures he did for different cases.

"Focusing on the pastel palette, Dutch artist Aisha Zeijveld creates portraits that prevail. In her What Remains? series, inspired by the work of Egon Schiele, she introduces a way of ‘sketching’ onto the photographs, outlining the figure in interesting ways and modifying body shapes to something slightly abnormal. In other portraits, such as her series Feast of Destruction, in collaboration with artist Aukje Dekker, she adds damage seemingly mechanically" via Trendland
Tyson McAdoo's current body of work focuses primarily on female figurative digital paintings. McAdoo's balance between abstraction and realism creates an energy that thrusts the female form to dominate rolls of power.
