Jordan Clark started making digital collages first for fun, something he stumbled onto while taking a computer arts class, but then got hooked. “I am constantly on the computer looking at images and trying to see if I could play around with it to get something new.” He recently went old school style and started making paper collages because the creative process is much more organic, not stuck in the confines of Photoshop. “When I make paper collages I have no idea what I’m going to find. I can let my mind run wild with images.” Check them out after the jump.

Alex Kisilevich Brings The Unique, The Funny, & The Beauty
Artist Alex Kisilevich is a straight up art multitasker. He works are humorous, some as simply aesthetically pleasing. Some are bizzare, but they are all good. Are these photos? Collage? Paintings? Mixed Media? Maybe we will never know. But I kind of like it like. He is most def a creator of things so simple, yet so complex. I would call it pop art, or just fun art. Either way, Alex knows what he is doing, and I’m on board.

Helmo’s Beautiful Series ‘Bêtes de Mode’
French design team Helmo – Thomas Couderc and Clément Vauchez – put together a pretty stellar series called ‘Bêtes de Mode’ using an anaglyph 3D technique. The images of the animals in the red hue merged with images of beautiful people in the cyan hue – in a synchronous pose – make you almost want to put your 3D glasses on. But really, it’s not necessary, because the design aesthetic is so striking and haunting, they are meant to be viewed as you see them now.

An In-Depth Conversation With BORBAY
A lot of artists put up a front, or try to label themselves. Some want to be known only as starving, and selling anything would be selling out. Some look at their gift strictly as a job, and create for the sole purpose of making as much money as they can. Some want recognition. Some say things like “I don’t even own a computer”. But some don’t care about any of that. It’s rare you come across an artist who is just 100% pure. BORBAY is that kind of artist. Nothing seems forced. He loves creating, and he loves interacting with people, talking about art, or just listening. His energy is contagious, whether he is talking about his family or hockey or painting or whatever, he is talking about it all with this contagious passion. Maybe that’s why Time Out New York voted him “Most Creative New Yorker“; maybe that’s why you can see his work at The Guggenheim or in The Wall Street Journal. Because that passion comes across in every piece, and always gives you at the very least a soft smile. You are about to get to know BORBAY on a pretty personal level, and if you don’t know him already, I’m glad to be the one to introduce you.

Rob & Nick Carter | Postcards From Vegas
Rob and Nick Carter are a married couple who live and work in London. As contemporary artists their work revolves around light, color and form in many different mediums including painting, photography, light installations and film. The neon’s in Postcards From Vegas are all existing signs, remade in metre-high miniatures. The postcards are Cibachrome prints, blown up to match, and thus revealing some of their charming details: creases, pin-marks and inexpertly hand-tinted colors. While most of the neon’s are based on signs in Las Vegas, the places evoked by each piece are unreal, located somewhere in the past of the collective imagination. “People don’t send postcards like they used to,” says Nick (Nicky to her friends). “When we were younger, they were the best way to get an image and an idea of another place.” Read on for the excellence.

Digital Circlism
Belgian artist Ben Heine used digital tools to create a series of celebrity portraits consisting of only flat circles on a black background, known as Digital Circlism. Each circle has a single color and a single tone, but the images pop into what looks like a beautiful 3-dimensional portrait. Each portrait takes between 100 and 180 hours of work. Heine says, “As I’ve been working with digital tools recently, this came quite naturally, and I’m a big fan of Pop Art and Pointillism.” Read on for his Digital Circlism portraits.
