Maggie Taylor

A lot of design teachers would show students examples of graphic designers and photographers however none of the artists really stood out to me like Maggie Taylor.

Her artwork is so unique, she creates such a fascinating narrative with her surrealist mashups – even her technique is uncommon. By scanning her objects using an open flatbed scanner in a dark room* (pitch-black room to process photos) she creates depth in her photos.

#ArchiSketcher

Recently I have been obsessed with architectural sketches. @archisketcher has been the ultimate architectural obsession for me.  It is an account that is a consortium of artist sketches’ from all over the world. It has been a great platform for finding other architecture artists and sketching techniques.
