Art made out of MAPS! Genius!
From the Artist:
I am a painter and a collagist. I work with glue and printed material as well as acrylic paint and ink. The printed materials that I work with derive from archaic educational and cognitive sources, such as maps, atlases, encyclopedias, and school textbooks. I am drawn to the ephemeral nature of this printed information and the latent content that surfaces over time. I like to catalog, archive, and arrange information and then dismantle, manipulate, and reconfigure it. My creative process is informed by the visual properties and informative complexities of the material I am using.

Interesting! I really love visual art that incorporates text in some way. The map ones are really pretty amazing.
Wow! His work is amazing. I love maps, and have to fight myself not to collect them. Oh to have this kind of talent and vision...
Thank you for your awesome comment about our Apt. Therapy feature :-)
So cool!
That owl one is so freaking awesome!!!
great stuff!...I work with mixed media as well...but shy away from maps and ephemera because the inks and paper will disintegrate over time...not a problem if you don't mind fleeting art work....
cool man!!!

Love these. Want to see them up close!
Amazing -- so intricate!
Omg...now that is intensely cool!
Is it just me, or is there something terribly sad about them? It's probably just me. They just kin dof draw me in, and it feels a little like being under water.
Holy Shit. Incredible. I loooove the waves ones.
