Check out a poster I created for the fantastic Explorers series by @adriennekress! I’ve always wanted to create a library poster like this, and it was even more fun to do it featuring the characters I drew for the Explorers books. Thanks so much Adrienne for the wonderful opportunity!

Envisioning Human Machinery with Obsolete Technology with @nickgentryart

To explore Nick’s portraits of human machinery, follow @nickgentryart on Instagram.

“I can see some kind of haunting beauty in these forgotten items,” says British artist Nick Gentry (@nickgentryart), about the obsolete items like computer disks, film negatives, and x-rays that he collects from strangers and then assembles into human forms. “These materials combine to form a composition of interconnected histories. In a sense none of us has a singular identity because who we are is purely the result of who we have connected with.”

Nick describes his ambivalence toward this human machinery. “There’s a certain vulnerability to being human,” he says. “We are entirely dependent on the objects we create around us, increasingly so with regard to technology. The fascinating and possibly scary part for me is that it’s almost like we are building this machine that we don’t know how to stop.”
