Matthew Cusick

Hey everyone! So today I was going through many magazines and websites, looking for new artists or art pieces. I found a very interesting artist named Matthew Cusick. He creates pictures or collages entirely from maps or book pages. Of course, many people can make art from cutting out maps, but he does it so well and adds his twists. In his art work, you can see extravagant portraits that captures the precise detail and depths of the painting. Even though his entire art work is made of maps, it is quite obvious to see the pictures he designs and creates, which captures each particular object and design.

This is Matthew Cusick with his creation of the entire world put together.

This is one of Cusick's recent art work called "Red & Blue",  which is made entirely from maps, book pages, and ink. As you can see, he captures the fine detail of the two women in the picture, with specific shapes and blending patterns.

As you can see, Cusick is one of very many unique artists that are bringing life to his or her art pieces. He took objects we may use from a daily basis (newspapers, books, articles, ink, ect.) and made his own collection of masterpieces. I challenge you to go and find something around your house, and create something of your own, Well that's all for this week, I'll talk to you in a week!
