Digital Surrealism of Daniel Aristizábal
Colombian illustrator Daniel Aristizábal compacts the all-star mediums and genres of 20th century artistic movements into user-friendly, candy-colored graphics. As chronicled on his Instagram, Aristizábal applies V-Ray to dadaism, glitch art to cubism, and takes futurism digital, bundling it all up in the bubbly pastel palette of pop. In his projects, the artist has riffed on Salvador Dalí's eggs with his Huevos series and hits the warped waves with Joan Miró in his Sunny days are coming pieces. Despite the succession of stylistic influences, however, the artist sees his art as fundamentally uncomplicated: “My work is full of simplicity and organic shapes,” he tells the Instagram Blog. “It is nostalgic in its essence.” - via The Creators Project

Ohhio. Super chunky knits by Anna Marinenko
Following the Behance Year in Review - Ukraine was the most growing community on the creative network. Frankly they selected only 3 projects by category, though with reasonable certainty "Ohhio Knits" designed by Anna Marinenko reserved its place as it should. Merely a year ago Anna, a Kiev-based handcrafting artist, was captivated by an unusual material that sparked an idea to knit a blanket with a supersized ties using hands instead of spokes. That's how a Kikstarter's success - Ohhio project started. By this time her project is baked 10 times more than she estimated leaving her a lot of evenings to create and dispatch the orders made by earlier supporters. With no doubts Anna shows us the way how a small idea become a great path in a life.

Italy
Designcollector is extremely happy to open
this year and had a great opportunity to work with him on
The Digital Decade III: His Majesty The Glitch
project earlier this year (featuring his work you see above in Barcelona, OFFF2015 Festival) “
I’m completely absorbed by glitch art. I’ve always been attracted to its aesthetics; I’m not talking about philosophy or higher concepts, but just its plain visual pleasure,
” says Giacomo. From the burning monk in “Saigon” to Jesus’s crucifixion in “Meltchrist” – the digital artist combines the old and new to create a symbolic modern image. “
I see these images as an alternative beauty. I find it extremely fascinating how the same image can change so much by keeping its original 'skeleton'. Of course they’re also visually impactful. But before this, I find them simply beautiful.

I wanted to check if it’d be possible to create an entire garment using technology accessible to anyone. So I embarked on my 3D printing journey, without really knowing what the end result would be.
