Born in 1915 in Kalofer, Bulgaria, Stefan Kir ... More Born in 1915 in Kalofer, Bulgaria, Stefan Kirov Kanchev — the son of an iconographer — studied mural painting in the National Art Academy with Dechko Uzunov. His studies as an artist eventually led him to graphic design, and a long career during which he produced book covers, typefaces, trademarks, stamps, posters, logos and more. In 1971 he was honored with the Bulgarian title of National Artist, though to date, his work remains largely unknown in many parts of the world. In an effort to to preserve his life-long accomplishments, a Bulgarian website has collected a number of examples from Kirov's impressive body of work, a selection of which we are delighted to share with our readers today.

Scale, Size, Repetition, Movement and Composi ... More Scale, Size, Repetition, Movement and Composition /////////////////// Chris Jordan's Running the Numbers series continues with new work, including Lightbulbs. This photo collage represents the 320,000 lightbulbs that equal the number of kilowatt hours of electricity wasted in the US per minute, due to inefficient household electricity use. Jordan's work is a frightening wake-up call that is based on waste, consumerism, planned obsolescence and the ravages to our environment. The work consists of large, detailed prints put together by using thousands of tiny photographs. The importance of the individual among the collective is made visually clear, and the sheer overwhelming nature of these problems cannot be escaped.

The builder, Mr. Phillips, calls it Storybook house, I think it is Mymble's house, a character from the Moomin, by the Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. I grew up watching the Moomins and Mymble is always the mischief in the show and annoyingly sly. I dun like her and she reminds me of me! In the next Photoshop exercise, we'll learn how to use bit and pieces of images to create a visual whole. Much like what Mr. Phillips did with unwanted picture frames corners, broken glasses or tiles to assemble a rustic mural, we'll break apart what we scanned to reconstruct a simple scene of 1 of 4 seasons.
