Map art collages by Matthew Cusick

A multimedia artist working in collage, painting, and book art, Matthew Cusick is best known for his map collages of intricate, warmly colored portraits and landscapes. “Maps have all the properties of a brushstroke: nuance, density, line, movement, and color,” he says. “Their palette is deliberate and symbolic, acting as a cognitive mechanism to help us internalize the external.”

Food and Everyday Objects Turned into Whimsical Illustrations by „Fantasy Researcher“@ Diego Cusano

Diego Cusano is an Italian graphic designer and musician. 

The project was born when I was looking for a subject for my music video (yes, I grew up between pastels and my piano) as I also write and produce songs. You know, it always comes a certain point when you need to look for a moment to feel like you are out of the world, as in an other reality where to unlearn what you knew so far. That’s the reason why I started and kept on going create these kind of illustrations.

I am and eclectic person who loves to give smiles, trying every day to reinvent myself and escape from the routine.
