Map portraits by Ed Fairburn
Inspirationfeed présente Ed Fairburn et ses portraits dessinés sur des cartes. C’est original et intéressant.
Ed Fairburn is an illustration graduate whose work is mostly figurative. He paints, draws, and constructs using a flexible range of tangible media across a wide range of surfaces and contexts.
By utilizing patchwork of roads, rivers, and trains, Ed creates outstanding portraits on printed maps. He colors street grids with meticulous ink, or pencil crosshatching, smoothly blending macroscopic terrain with human features. Fairburn has a great eye for finding patterns, exploring a wealth of ideas and concepts. Enjoy!
Dessins au crayon!
Focus sur Franco Clun, un artiste italien autodidacte qui a cultivé son talent et sa passion pour le dessin au crayon, allant jusqu’à proposer aujourd’hui de véritables œuvres d’art, représentant des portraits de célébrités ou d’inconnus absolument incroyables.
Comment ne pas être soufflée par tant de talent. C’est surréaliste! Merci Fubiz.net!
Créations digitales
L’agence FIELD a été invitée à réfléchir aux possibilités illimitées de l’impression de créations digitales.
Ces derniers ont proposé la création de 10 000 artworks pour la brochure de GF Smith. Une idée utilisant une sculpture complexe générée afin de créer des œuvres uniques. Le résultat est intéressant.
Hyperréalisme
18 Drawings You’ll Swear Are Actual Photographs

Take a look at the image above. Pretty surreal. At first glance (or second, or third), it looks like a photograph — maybe a little faded, compared to most high-definition shots we’re now used to, but a photograph nonetheless. Right?
It’s actually a ball point pen drawing by Portuguese artist Samuel Silva, based on Kristina Taraina’s photograph « Redhead Girl. » Silva used seven different colored pens and spent nearly 30 hours to recreate the photo.
Take a look at a few of Silva’s other illustrations, as well as works from Miguel Endara, Paul Cadden and Dirk Dzimirsky. Some used ballpoint pens, while others worked with graphite and charcoal. However, they all have one thing in common: these incredible works are definitely not photographs.
Have any other illustrations made you do a double take recently? Share them with us in the comments below.

Sit Haïro, a vision in the dark side
Sit Haiiro is an Artist from the Netherlands. After working as a digital creative for commercial companies, Sit decided to stop this madness in 2008 and went back to head and handcraft to slice away the fat. The following works were collected from his on going project called Haiiro. For further understanding of these illustrations, check out his description:
“Where the calm surroundings provide more opportunity for decision making, rather than being driven by the fast moving winds of change.”
That phrase reminds me a lot of the choice I made to live and work outside the city… A good choice, indeed.
His work provides a unique yet emotional context of finding ourselves. Who are we really? Inspirationfeed!
Don’t know what he wanted to explain, really. But who cares right? Art is Art and his vision is somewhat different and interesting. The feline is stunning to me. If only for that one, he deserves this mention!
Pictures made of words
I just looovee that!
It’s said a picture is worth a thousand words and in the case of Spanish amateur artist Juan Osborne that is literally how things stand. Using several hundred thousand words he manages to recreate famous images and icons that have put their mark on the world.
Osborne searches for the most popular words associated with his subjects, then uses his netbook and a custom software to piece them together and recreate the image. “Words are powerful, they go straight into the human mind and really add something to my pictures that you can’t get from a regular picture taken with a camera. Mine have stories behind them that can be read, which is pretty unique,” the artist says about his works.
The biggest work Juan Osborne has completed so far contained 500,000 words, but he plans to beat that record and reach the 1 million mark. The only problem he faces is finding a place to print an image that big.

Peter McFarlane Recycling Art.
Stunning artwork by Peter McFarlane
Artist statement :
To me, waste is just lack of imagination. This belief carries beyond the boundaries of my art production and permeates most aspects of my life. Most of my home and studio, and much of everything in them, is recycled. I’ve always had an epic imagination along with a driving desire to make things. Thus, used objects have pared my options down to a workable, manageable level. No object is beyond artistic merit, meaning and metaphor. So why throw it out? The materials of my work are connected intrinsically to my ideas, be they tailored beyond recognition or left as found. Each piece I make resurrects an object as an idea specific to the material and the meaning inherent in its use. The history of the object — from the manufacture to the dumpster — embellishes its contexts and the possibilities I have to manipulate them. I have often made a connection with the objects that I’ve used in my everyday life or work experience: that which I know.
