You know I love staying on top of the coolest new trends in art and tech. Whether it’s a robot that can draw my picture or a huge photo mosaic on a jumbotron, if it’s creative, I’m all in! But nothing has grabbed my attention (and imagination) like the recent boom in generative Ai.

Australian artist, Guy Whitby has recently caught my attention with his ironic and intriguing button mosaic celebrity portraits.

I love to doodle. I never thought of myself as much of an artist in that respect, I was always more of a photography person (photo mosaics too :-D), but I often find myself doodling whenever my mind wanders.

Anyway, during one of my photo mosaic hunts, I found the work of Sagaki Keita, a pen and ink artist living and working in Tokyo, and I was absolutely blown away.

I love photo mosaics (duh!). But I really love when artists incorporate inventive and unique ideas to elevate the mosaic concept even further. Transforming old, sometimes unused, objects into works of art is even better!

Nostalgia has become a significant part of pop culture in the United States. Clothing, furniture, technology, music, etc. from our childhood can leave a lasting impression on our personalities. In my ongoing search for the latest and greatest photo mosaics, I stumbled onto Austrian designer Kay Knight‘s work. Knight has figured out a way to channel that love for nostalgia into art by creating photo mosaics from outdated keyboard caps. Knight first plucks off each individual key, photographs them, then creates photo mosaics of vintage electronics, from arcade games to the Walkman.
