Kazumi Takamatsu made a ripple at Scope Miami last year during Art Basel and has been on my radar since. While there are other depth mapping artists out there, Google those bold words together and ultimately you will end up back spending more time than you should looking at his impressive work. Hashtag the artist’s name [...]

The Great Gatsby was exactly what I expected from Baz Luhrman. I was sold by the graphics and glimpses in the previews before going to the theater. It even inspired some graphic work back in February, thanks to Academy Award winning designer Catherine Martin, who is the visionary that makes Luhrmann’s films so alluring.
