Artist Sandhi Schimmel Gold makes portrait mosaics from recycled mail (e.g. greeting cards, advertising pamphlets, and more). She cuts paper bits and glues them on a canvas. View “Junk Mail Art—My Generation,” an insightful video about her artwork.

3D Painting by Gerry Judah

"Judah creates an abstracted and disturbing aesthetic that is both mellifluous and pertinent..."







By constructing models of buildings on canvases, the English artist Gerry Judah manages to deconstruct the sets, creating an apocalyptic environment on these creations. Impressive works to discover in pictures and video later in the article.

Unicorn Studios Interviews

Recently there are few interviews from different magazines about our new Comic and art team. The 100% digital production of our comic seems pretty new to the HK comic industry.

Start from layout, sketch to inking including special gray tone effect, we do them all in computer... we minimize the wastage of paper. The production is pretty environment friendly.

This is the one from 《e-zone》 magazine, last week issue. 664
