longer maintain contact and also individuals I have just met. The portraits were made during a conversation. <br/>From this encounter, I separated 10 photos of each one and, for the most part, I did not treat the photos with any particular color in mind, leaving the color and light as they were at that moment the photos were made, without any treatment. In a few cases, I found it necessary to use color.<br/>The basic cuts for these photos are more geometric and appear to be a continuous pattern, but they actually do not repeat, they do complement each other. </blockquote> <p>From ‘<em>desmemórias</em>‘by <a href="http://www.lucassimoes.com.br/" target="_blank">Lucas Simões</a></p>http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50367403932http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50367403932Mon, 13 May 2013 22:23:30 +0100artcraftslucas simõesportrait<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e931bdfbfbe1a2ab51a64d132e33d099/tumblr_mmojysoQ4J1rnu569o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/fca0542ca5609ababef0b0229c2a4be9/tumblr_mmojysoQ4J1rnu569o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a9eabfc000fd89b453233fcd4c57dd33/tumblr_mmojysoQ4J1rnu569o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Paper Sculptures from ‘<em>Eight Emperors’ </em>by <a href="http://www.mattshlian.com/" target="_blank">Matt Shlian</a></p>http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50273643258http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50273643258Sun, 12 May 2013 19:01:20 +0100artcraftspaper artsculpturematt shlian<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7bff839416e82856e1ee92ce87df9ad7/tumblr_mmojf0iPK81rnu569o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/74ad65ca2e73fe9a5d3dbdeb87a838a0/tumblr_mmojf0iPK81rnu569o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/05154665d71d9f7766c30ea43b31141c/tumblr_mmojf0iPK81rnu569o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8fadc3d8a0bfb692fbca16dd39a9a02b/tumblr_mmojf0iPK81rnu569o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/08292b571449c9b0686a53c1552b52d4/tumblr_mmojf0iPK81rnu569o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/89528f4b5429567f7a2d2270a2890408/tumblr_mmojf0iPK81rnu569o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><em>‘Theremin’s Therapy’</em><br/><em>‘Moment of Noise’</em><br/><em>‘Low Tide Lullaby’</em><br/><em>‘Songbird Sabbatical’</em><br/><em>‘Hidden Track for A Train Of Thought’</em><br/><em>‘Thanks for the Melodies’</em></p> <p>Paintings by <a href="http://www.duyhuynh.com/gallery.php" target="_blank">Duy Huynh</a></p>http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50271379261http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50271379261Sun, 12 May 2013 18:30:49 +0100artIllustrationmusicduy huynh<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1c0691246a2ab9d2a217b4f6942750e6/tumblr_mmnh2y6f8v1rnu569o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f106717292ca5f3119bf5fd332786d97/tumblr_mmnh2y6f8v1rnu569o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3c1a7486c0f6af1f936833786a1c4c37/tumblr_mmnh2y6f8v1rnu569o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Artworks from <em>‘Collages manuels’</em> by Erwan Soyer | on <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/Collages-manuels/4681069" target="_blank">Behance</a> | on <a href="http://erwan-soyer.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tumblr</a> |</p>http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50190413706http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50190413706Sat, 11 May 2013 21:04:10 +0100artcraftscollageerwan soyerartists on tumblrpaper art<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c9ad1044dfc0cea7295f00d52a524245/tumblr_mmngtnW0F81rnu569o3_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Mona Lisa re-constructed using spools of thread by <a href="http://www.cubeworks.ca/" target="_blank">Cube Works</a></p>http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50189995633http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50189995633Sat, 11 May 2013 20:58:35 +0100artcraftsmona lisacube works<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9ac47d62848902e28c97b4f0a0b9735a/tumblr_mmlewx8r2Q1rnu569o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c468b6addc5b219f1b3a17592cdcbc0b/tumblr_mmlewx8r2Q1rnu569o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>‘<em>All the Corners’ </em>by <a href="http://jasonmiddlebrook.com/" target="_blank">Jason Middlebrook</a></p>http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50098394824http://andrew-neil-parr.tumblr.com/post/50098394824Fri, 10 May 2013 18:22:09 +0100artjason middlebrook<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b2fb35ea09513e03e1bd46818de2d465/tumblr_mmle946iCP1rnu569o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c39f4988631dac13319b1dcdca523ed8/tumblr_mmle946iCP1rnu569o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f05985934e905c03d24e1180baadc7ab/tumblr_mmle946iCP1rnu569o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bda843191a19f2581be4331e080f00dd/tumblr_mmle946iCP1rnu569o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7e1b2f73146f60551998b6d688819bf9/tumblr_mmle946iCP1rnu569o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><em>‘The Feeling Goes’<br/></em>’<em>Seascape’<br/>‘Sail Close to the Wind’<br/>‘Impossible Bottle’<br/>‘In My Own Way’</em></p> <p>Illustrations by Sally Harless -
