Keith Walpole is a writer and musician based in Brooklyn, NY. Alongside his Substack ‘Circles in Space’, he publishes a weekly newsletter, ‘Five Bullets’, which covers everything from art to music to history and science.
Look at these awesome collage-style portraits by Chilean artist Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo. He mixes water color with digital effects to produce these layered pieces. The illustrations range from portraits to musicians to anatomy to animals.
Check out the rest of his diverse portfolio at AlvaroTapia.com.
Currently, he’s working on a collaborative project called ’Angry People’, in which he recreates portraits of, yes you guessed it, angry people. You can submit your photo and he’ll send you his colorful interpretation.
Enjoy!

Wowza, talk about colorful. I found this awesome tumblr dedicated to creating color palettes from nature photographs. I especially like the gifs-seems to really bring the color to life.

“Soo Sunny Parks installation Unwoven Light animates Rice Gallerys expansive space, transforming it into a shimmering world of light, shadow, and brilliant color. Suspended from the walls and ceiling, thirty-seven individually sculpted units are arranged as a graceful, twisting flow of abstract form.”

Photographer Jimmy Nelson spent 3 years photographing tribes that have remained untouched by time. In a series titled ‘Before They Pass Away’ exhibits a beautifully captured and eye opening documentary. Makes you wonder what could’ve been had technology not progressed.
I wanted to witness their time-honoured traditions, join in their rituals and discover how the rest of the world is threatening to change their way of life forever. Most importantly, I wanted to create an ambitious aesthetic photographic document that would stand the test of time. A body of work that would be an irreplaceable ethnographic record of a fast disappearing world.

“Don’t do anything by half. If you love someone, love them with all your soul. When you go to work, work your ass off. When you hate someone, hate them until it hurts.”
I found this beautiful photo series Strangers by photographer Shane Connaughton. There’s something so quiet and serene about them, the way they’re grainy and ambiguous in subject. The series is shot in a photo journalistic way, but leans more towards conceptual and abstract; less focused on subject and more so on the comprehensiveness of daily life. That is exactly what makes it unique-it’s journalism and art at the same time, which is not an easy feat.
See more beautiful images at Connaughton’s Flickr.
