ART MADE FROM MAPS are works by Matthew Cusick. I love both maps and collage and these work beautifully. It is interesting to look at these as a way to achieve gradation in print.
ANDREAS NICOLAS FISCHER
‘… is a Munich-born, Berlin-based artist who works with generative systems, physical representations of data and visualizations of digital processes. In order words, Fischer is a cunning analyst who makes things that make art. Many of his abstract art pieces are created using software which visualise various bits of data according to a set of rules. It is absolutely incredible that Fisher manages to make bits of data look and feel so natural.’

TREND ANALYSIS : VIVID PRINT
Bohemian styles inspired by the late artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Hyper real florals and tropical all-over prints have emerged as a key trend for SS 2012, having taken inspiration from Basquiat’s bold use of contrasting colour and geometric shapes.

COLLAGE
Below are a few collages I put together today in trying to evoke some of the colours, shapes and overall mood of the collection.
