Fluid Complexity   Joshua M. Smith graphics

Hydro74 is a respected Orlando based designer, otherwise known as Joshua M. Smith. Hydro74 is a master of achieving smooth fluid lines within his work and swears by drawing everything by hand first. The computer aided vector process comes after Smith is happy with the final sketched artwork. Patternbank love these latest artworks, where halftone pattern, complex vector form and overlaid colour blend together to create a collection of powerful visual images.  Hydro74.com

Stefan Fransson   Digital Collages print pattern

We love these multi layered digital collages by Artist Stefan Fransson. Stefan was commissioned to produce a permanent installation for the google reception room in Stockholm, Sweden. This was based on a big print of his work “Thin Ice” which is featured here at picture no.9. There is so much to like about these prints with their layers of pictorial fragments which appear translucent as if floating on water. His prints are available to buy at saatchionline.com.
