Cool Recent Art, Pt. 2
- Portrait of the Artists as Minifigs: the Young Woz & Jobs Lego set. [Via] (For a little Apple/MS balance, the weirdos commenting about Bloods & Crips might enjoy Bill Gates thug life; the splayed fingers really make the shot.)
- Also comprised of small blocks are these unusual mosaics:
- Albanian artist Saimir Strati creates huge portraits using nails and toothpicks. Check out the making of his 880-pound Leonardo nail mosaic on his site. [Via]
- 19-year-old David Alvarez has depicted Ray Charles using 2,000 Post-Its.
- David Litwin depicts Stephen Colbert using Rubik’s Cubes. Here he talks about the project. [Via]
- Slightly visually related: Frustrated that Google Maps wouldn’t flag the Royal College of Art, Robert Sollis created the "Google Carpet" to get the job done. [Via]
- Nicholas Kolyas creates lovely, minimalist cut paper and currency cities. [Via]
- Like Nicholas, Kako Ueda works in paper. The beautifully detailed Memento Mori looks to have crawled out of Donnie Darko’s subconscious–or possibly a Gnarls Barkley video. [Via]
- Jason Bruges Studio’s Wind to Light –a system of 500 mini wind turbines–beautifully "explore[s] the power of the wind in the city, visualising it as an ephemeral cloud of light." [Via]
