Jaw droppin' illustrations by Tiago Hoisel collected by @Nicole | Designerscouch #thecritiquenetwork Artist: Nick Gentry | “Nick Gentry is a British graduate of Central St Martins and has exhibited in the UK, USA and Europe. As part of a generation that grew up surrounded by floppy disks, VHS tapes, polaroids and cassettes, he is inspired by the sociological impact of a new internet culture… …His portraits use a combination of obsolete media formats, making a comment on waste culture, life cycles and identity.
