Detailed Balloon Sculptures by Masayoshi Matsumoto























I have featured Masayoshi Matsumoto's amazing balloon sculptures before. I just stumbled across some of his new animal sculptures made using only balloons that are incredibly detailed. He never uses any tape, glue or markers to create the sculptures. To make the Great Horned Owl's eyes he used metallic balloons, fantastic!

To see more of his work you can join him on Facebook and Instagram.

Repurposed Paper and Magazines Turned into Amazing Collages













C. E. White is a collage artist based in Blue Ridge, GA. She creates wildlife inspired collages using old maps, vintage letters, books, graphs, patterns, magazines and notes. Each artwork has thousands of tiny pieces of paper that are handcut individually and arranged one by one. Her work has beautiful colors and textures that draws in the viewer's attention to the intricate details. It takes tremendous amount of patience and dedication to create an art which can take several hours to complete.

You can find these collages as art prints and on many other things here.

Street Art Filled With Striking Colors and Geometric Patterns by Eelco













Eelco van den Berg is a Dutch illustrator and muralist. He paints huge size murals in striking colors and geometric patterns that beg the passer by to stop and inspect the piece. The animal inspired murals are formed with geometric patterns and bold lines that flow harmoniously resulting into beautiful textures in the finished image at the end.

He got exposed to hip hop culture when he was a child which influenced his work, also the graphics on the skateboards that he collects. He has done paintings internationally in Amsterdam, Italy, France, Belgium, NY, San Diego and Chicago. If you want to see him in action then you can follow his Instagram where he posts about his latest work.
