Mid Week Distraction No.1

Matthieu Bourel is a collage and digital artist whose work veers uneasily from nostalgia to technological dystopia. Bourel combines traditional cut and paste collage techniques with digital editing, digital animation, and even sound design to create a body of work that blurs the distinction between illustration, graphic design and art installation.

Bourel describes his work as “data-ism” and the reference to the original Dada movement of the early twentieth century is more than a play on words. Like his Dadaist precursors, Bourel delights in creating shocking juxtapositions, ironic distance and high-brow/low-brow mash-ups.

Weekly Vlog: Day for Night Fest(Houston) + Austin

Since I only work Mondays - Wednesdays, I try to spend the remainder of the week doing things I enjoy AND completing whatever projects I have at the time. This week, I decided to ride the Megabus after work to Austin to spend a few nights with my friends. I spent most of my time on the bus editing pictures, but I did manage to get in a little nap. 

And I'm glad I got that little sleep in, because as soon as I got off the bus - the day turned into a whirlwind of activities and running errands with my friends. I even shot 3 interior decorating projects in ONE day. Needless to say, it was exhausting, but I enjoyed every bit of it. 

At night, myself and Dillion sat on the patio for a little while, ate some Chipotle and and had some wine....and back out into the streets we went to meet up with our friend, Shaniqua (whom I haven't seen since graduation) and enjoyed some drinks & conversation on 5th street. 

The next morning, I took a bus back to Houston for D4N.
