Japanese Artist Makes Pokémon Characters from Leaves: Leafymon

Posted on by

Pokémon fans will appreciate the art that one Japanese artist is showing off. Twitter user xxx2251 made this cool Pokémon art using only leaves that fell from trees. The result is quite beautiful and looks deceptively simple to do.

The two characters the artist made so far are Charizard and Charmander. Considering these are both flame-throwing Pokémon, and they are made from dry leaves it seems a bit of care is in order.

The artist gives no indication of exactly how he or she made the was made. I presume it involved careful selection of pretty fall leaves, a sharp X-Acto knife, and steady hands.

Suprematist Sculptural Shelving

Posted on by

DSIGNIO’s Collage Collection is a system of shelving and cabinetry based on the Suprematist art movement (with a dash of Cubism and sprinkle of Neoplasticism!) that focuses on forceful and simple shapes over superfluous elements. The resulting aesthetic is an illusion of overlapping wood blocks, yet each modular layer is functional with its own cover and internal system of cubbies and shelves. Halfway between art and design, it’s first an object of functionality and secondly a sculptural expression for contemplation.

Natural Pokémon Collage: Leaf-type Art

Posted on by

We’ve seen Pokémon drawn with pencils, food, thread, aluminum powder, sculpey, clay, marble, LEGO and digital ink. Jacob Carter chose a simple but challenging way to depict the famous monsters: leaves.

Jacob calls his series Natural Pokémon. Aside from leaves, he also uses pebbles, and cheats a bit with cardboard and ink for the eyes and feet of Pokémon.

Jacob probably won’t be able to depict all Pokémon using just the leaves he finds on his own. Maybe he can ask people to send him preserved leaves of different colors and textures.

Collages Made from Comic Book Pages: Typographic Violence

Posted on by

Most comic book lovers handle their comics with care. Some of them even buy multiples of one issue or book just to have a perfectly mint copy in hand. But not Amy Watkins. She believes that if you love someone – or something – you have to cut them to pieces and turn them into another art form. KAPOW!

Watkins turns her old comics into collages that highlight comic book sound effects, from Nightcrawler’s teleportation sound to the oldie but goodie pows and blams.

You can see images of Watkins’ other collages on Design Taxi, but if I were you I’d snap up the four collages I featured on this post. Watkins is selling them on her Etsy shop PopUpCollage for just $35-$45 (USD). Those are criminally low prices for such unique and wonderful pieces. She also accepts custom orders for $50, where you get to pick the colors and sound effect to be featured.

Punch-Out Collages are a Real Knockout

Posted on by

Remember the classic Nintendo boxing game Punch-Out!? I still think it’s one of the most entertaining fighters of all time, especially with its over-the-top combatants. Well if you remember Punch-Out! as fondly as I do, then you’ll enjoy these collages by artist Chris Lange.

The latest in a series of gaming inspired works by Lange, he’s perfectly captured such classic characters as Glass Joe, Don Flamenco, Bald Bull, Piston Honda, Great Tiger, Macho Man, King Hippo, Soda Popinski, Mac and Trainer with these collages.

Each one is made entirely from old issues of Nintendo Power magazine, so you’re assured each one is 100% recycled Nintendo.

While the originals aren’t for sale, you can get your hands on a set of nine (5″x5″) prints over on Etsy for $49 (USD). If you’re a Nintendo fan, you’ll want to order up a set for your gameroom for sure.
