Vahram Muratyan is a talented Parisian art director and a graphic designer living between Paris and New York. He has created a beautiful online series of charming illustrations focusing in a friendly and humorous manner the differences between New York and Paris.
His book "Paris versus New York: A Tally of Two Cities" features 105 of his illustrations, 60 of which have never been published before. I loved the Carrie Bradshaw vs. Amelie illustration, actually the ones I posted here are my favorites. Which ones did you like?
David Mach is the artist behind these matchstick sculptures.He starts off with designing a form, usually having a plastic model made from a clay mold. Then the task of sticking each matchstick onto the figure begins.
His sculptures are usually of controversial people or characters everyone is familiar with such as Betty Boop, Charlie Chaplin, and Marilyn Monroe. The first question I had was whether he applies the color to the matchsticks or buys them already in those colors, turns out he imports many of them from Japan
Mach sells some of them at galleries and auctions, but others are destined to be set aflame and burnt down at exhibitions.
Tom Ryaboi is a photographer from Toronto, Canada, has become famous especially for his “rooftopping” photography and adrenaline rush causing images of city views from the tops of buildings and skyscrapers.
“For me, photography will always be closely tied to travelling. I like to travel, see the world, where I hope to learn something, grow, and maybe leave something behind. Naturally, somewhere along the line, i wanted to capture some of these moments. The camera allowed me to capture beautiful places, interesting people, and sometimes even myself.”
