Cintascotch is the unreal name for Javier Pérez, an artist and illustrator from Guayaquil, Ecuador who doesn’t sell Cintascotch. The idea he has developed is that every doodle incorporates some small object photographs like paper clips, coins, scissors… The drawing transform the objects into something completely new and different, a creative idea that we already have seen here and there but Cintascotch caught my attention with some very nice pictures. So, a few times a week, Javier Pérez shares his new doodles with his 20,000 Instagram followers.

Floyd Grey is a 23 years old illustrator from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He graduated from Dasein Academy of Art, specializing in Fashion Illustration, Photography and Photomanipulation. He now is a freelance illustrator with a very minimalist style obviously inspired by René Gruau or David Downton. Although the pen and ink renderings are digital and all done with Photoshop brushes, the drawings have a very traditional touch and I imagine it done on the best art paper… Floyd Grey’s illustrations are very refined and detailed, becoming mostly black and white by the days.
Benedict Morgan is a London based photographer who creates unique pictures. The style is graphic, simple with a clean sharp finish… His wrapping paper series is particularly interesting, he says that when camouflaging an object the shape and outlines must be retained so that the viewer can recognize it, a work of detail and patience. This wallpaper art is pretty much inspiring, every piece being completely open to artistic interpretation ! Benedict Morgan also shows other great series, from set design to amazing anamorphosis.

Labokoff is a project created in 2007 by French artist Fabienne Rivory. She explores interactions between photography and painting, real world and imagination, memories and reality. The images are built around personal photographs mixed with paint that become an universal evocation of a place, a memory, an emotion… The paintings are made of gouache or inks, then digitally combined with photos, it is used as textures, splatters or lines and shifts the images in a dreamy register. Fabienne Rivory sells her art on her website and ships worldwide any of these lovely pieces.
