This amazing person can make portraits from just about anything! President Obama can make a portrait by simply folding sneakers, Marlboro packs, a mobile phone, keys and a bunch of other junk in a certain way! Can make a portrait of the late Heath Ledger from colorful pills! Jason Mecier uses absolutely everything that comes to hand in his amazing works, and almost never repeats itself.
Of course, we have already written about artists and designers who skillfully lay out objects in such a way that a certain structure that is pleasing to the eye is created. For example, artist Imke Klee creates the perfect combination of objects in her work, and Jennifer Young echoes her, creating the perfect creative mess. But they are far from the work of Jason Mecier - perhaps no one has created such skillful portraits from any subject that you can imagine.
Jason's love for this kind of mosaics was awakened as a child - on his website there is a photo of baby Jason Mecier laying out his first masterpiece of pasta slices. Since then he has been using everything that comes to hand, and the material was chosen for a reason. For example, one of his last works - a portrait of the main character of the horror franchise "Saw" John Kramer, also known as the Constructor, created for the release of the seventh part of the film, Jason Mecier laid out from various tools, many of which were probably used by John to create his famous deadly traps.
Jason Mecier also has a great sense of humor. What do you think he made the portrait of the famous actor Kevin Bacon from? Bacon, of course! And the portraits of various artists smeared with makeup, like Mariah Carrie, he laid out from bottles of cosmetics and powder. In general, you can write a lot about each of his works, just listing which items are involved in one or another of his masterpieces.
Jason Mecier lives in San Francisco, and takes portraits of his favorite celebrities from everything what will come to hand - from gum, nails, pills, food, thread, bottles, phones, garbage, precious stones, household items, buckles, shoes. Damn it, really of everything! And all the celebrities who are his clients, either heard of the existence of his works, or at least are immortalized in them, will not be enough to list the places. Here are just a few not yet named: Freud, Duyan "The Rock" Johnson, Peaches, Barack Obama, Billie Joe Armstrong, and so on. He did concept posters for the Scissor sisters, Chris Rock, White Stripes and many others, and, by the way, portraits of ordinary people who came out with him just as well.
Jason Mecier puts almost all of his work on the official site.

Artist Nicole Dextras is very fond of working with clothes, but she does it in very unusual ways. For example, her work is highly dependent on the time of year and the weather outside.

If it is winter outside, the artist takes ready-made clothes and … freezes them in blocks of ice. It's worth seeing, isn't it?
