Art Is Artis, The Artist

Have you encountered Edgar Artis, the Armenian fashion illustrator? In his early twenties, this guy is so gifted. He has one basic style- he draws a picture of a woman - then he creates her dress either  using a collage of everyday objests, or by cutting out the shape of the dress, and holding the paper up to the world around him, and letting the background 'create' the garment. Just look at this small selection of his work

 Cotton buds

Cinnamon sticks and star anise
