The post MOLI Studio “Repairs” Vintage Tech Gadgets Using Kintsugi appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique used for repairing broken pottery or other objects, during which broken pieces are joined together using gold or silver. The idea is that the repair should be visible because it is part of the history of the object.
Taking a new approach with kintsugi, MOLI decided to imagine broken pieces of technology being brought back to life with gold. The series features four iconic tech gadgets from Japan, including the original Nintendo Game Boy, a digital watch produced by Seiko, Sony Mega Watchman, and Sony’s vertical PS-F9 turntable, aka The Flamingo.
According to the studio, the goal of the Golden Era series is to pay tribute to Japan’s pop culture and country’s tradition.
“Hidden in the narrow streets of Japan’s urban landscape, tech gems from the 80s are given a second chance to shine,” Moli says about the project. “Through their scars, these nostalgic-driven rescues become time decoration treasures, carrying secrets and stories from another life.”

]]>Tsevis is mostly inspired by pop culture characters but isn’t a stranger to sports or political figures. In order to recreate them in mosaic format, he links thousands of meticulously selected pieces, with each having a close connection with the subject.
For example, in order to create a mosaic of Beth Harmon, a character from Netflix’s hit show The Queen’s Gambit, he used chess pieces and chessboard squares.
For Leonardo DiCaprio’s mosaic, he opted for hundreds of different photos of the Academy Award-winning actor.
Tsevis’ works have not only managed to capture the attention of common internet users but have also helped him to connect with high-profile clients. So far, he has worked for a number of reputable companies, including Nike, Google, Ferrari, Toyota, and IKEA. His mosaics have also been featured in magazines like Time, Glamour, and The Wall Street Journal.
Tsevis currently works out of his studio located on the island of Cyprus, and he regularly shares his art on Instagram. Check out more of it below.

(@thais.cy)Her life revolves around her studies, her boyfriend, and her cat. She also participates in various exhibitions and workshops locally. Interested in other techniques, Cuny would like to include screen printings in her future illustrations. Choosing the internet as her main and favorite medium, especially Pinterest or Instagram, the artist explains that she needs to receive a daily dose of inspiration so she can function properly.
“I like to take the time to make sketches throughout the day, patterns, characters, nothing very complete. But, that’s what I use to define small compositions in my sketchbook,” she said in an interview for Ballpit. “Subsequently, I take these small sketches on my IPad on which I produce each of my illustrations.”
She prefers illustrating simplified characters with colorful patterns. Her main goal is to find new color palettes that would match, new shapes for backgrounds loaded with all kinds of details.
“I wholeheartedly love to have a style for youth illustration, and that’s what I would like to evolve towards,” she added.

]]>The post We Can’t Get Enough of Peter Tarka’s Digital Interiors appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>But according to Tarka at least, his fascination with digital aesthetics is in part due to his “horrible” drawing skills. “I started pretty early with Photoshop CS2, which I got from my father’s friend (I’m almost sure this was a pirate copy),” he recalled in an interview with Medium. “I always liked drawing, so I started creating really simple stuff with brushes etc…”
After Photoshop came Adobe Illustrator, which introduced him to vector graphics. “In 2011, I started thinking about giving more depth to my illustrations, so I used simple 3D tools from illustrator and then retouched them in Photoshop to give them a more natural feel,” he explains. “After this I moved onto Cinema 4D, which has turned into my main program along with Photoshop.”

Jump forward some years later and he now has a following of over 200k on Instagram, and has won many awards (amongst them a Silver Cannes Lions for Art Direction & Design and a Bronze Cannes Lions for Use of Social Platforms).
His advice to other aspiring artists? “Work hard and get enough time of sleep (repeat until the end of your life).”

]]>Inspired by Jungian therapy and creative exercises, Maalavidaa provides Rainaud a way of self-expression. “My work has always been influenced by publishing design, hybrid books, new technologies, psychology, digital art, visual effects, and experiments,” she relayed in an interview with Murze. “I started studying graphic design more than seven years ago and finally graduated this past June by working on my thesis where I tried to link books to psyche. In the meantime, I started to work as a digital artist more than two years ago, in 2016. Creating Malavida was a way for me to express myself through different media and daily creative work but in a more abstract level.”

When I was younger I used to be really focused on dark analog photography but also a lot about abstract art in general. I guess that’s why my works try to bring both of them together.”
Alongside her print-oriented background, she is also experienced with branding, motion design, programming, UI/UX, textile design, laser cutting, 3D printing, offset/screenprinting, cultural mediation and global art direction. And with almost 170k followers on Instagram, she clearly knows what she’s doing.

]]>The post Aleksandar Dumic’s GIFs are All About That Bounce appeared first on MyTrendTales.
]]>Originally an illustrator, with a background in fine arts, Dumic went on to study animation, which in turn, changed his approach to image-making. “I’ve finished bachelor studies in Graphic Design at S.P. University, then I enrolled and finished master studies in Animation at Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade,” he relayed in an interview with Ballpit Magazine.
“Digital art was created as a necessity of modern society,” he adds. “Over time I’ve adapted to the new medium such as Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects.” Based in Bosnia, Dumic admits he wants his art to leave a mark on the world. A digital maker by trade, he also enjoys drawing by hand, especially with graphite.
Here are some highlights from his Instagram page.

]]>“I mostly enjoy the pre-project,” she said in an interview with The Creative Independent. Her pre-project state includes: “going into nature, listening to music, reading graphic novels, going to shows or otherwise distracting my mind so it’s completely void of work and just focused on simple pleasures.” According to her, it’s vital that you have a space for yourself to rejuvenate before you dive into any project, as chances are, you’re exerting your creative energy, and also your emotional energy for whatever work you will be doing.
Of course, exerting her creative energy is exactly the thing she’s looking for. In fact, Shawna X admits that what she loves about being an artist is the different ways it pushes her to explore her vulnerability, however painful it is. “I’m a sadist in that way,” she joked. “I love the pain away.”
Being a creator means that the process us equally important as the outcome. “You’re tapping into your inner child, your inner demons, your inner fairy godmother,” she explains. “A lot of times, especially with social media, you just see the output, and so people strive for the output more than the process, and I think I have fallen into that as well.” But with clients as big as Adidas, Samsung, New Yorker, and Dr. Martens, it’s clear that she’s found the secret to staying creative and active.
/// my friends at @redbullmusic gave me 10 tickets to experience the magic that is @feverray so that I, a complete fan girl, can share this experience with you. When Fever Ray’s self debut album came out in 2009 it was the first time I’ve heard anything like it; Her voice and music evoked a raw form of self-empowerment and emotion new to me; 9 years pass and the same album has guided me through big moves, breakups, low points, self discovery; you bet her new album is going to carry me through the next 9. I saw her this year in Berlin and geeeeez, the FEELS, but next Pokemon level. Sunday’s show in Brooklyn is gonna be extra special with a self care and meditation talk pre-show, with yoga mats and everything, hosted by FR & @bunnymichael , another sage AF woman! WHAT! If are in Brooklyn on Sunday and want to namaste, heal your shit then dance your ass off, comment that you’re in and wanna feel GR8, a ‘random generator’ will choose by tomorrow midnight.
