Artists are always seeking out unconventional ways to create works that are both visually and creatively challenging. Anything from lego sculptures to canvasses made of used bubblegum, someone out there can turn it into a work of art. One recent artist that caught my eye, is pin-master Eric Daigh.

Eric has been winning accolades and awards from art fans and collectors alike, for his giant pushpin mosaic portraits. The Michigan- based artist uses literally thousands of coloured pins, placed one at a time in a grid like fashion to create large photographic portraits. The time consuming process is like a zoomed in version of the printing process, where millions of tiny dots of a few colours, are printed to become photo images. The further you stand from his art, the more more realistic it becomes. Daigh's personal interest in the process has to do with travelling from the intangible to the singular and an appreciation for repetition and focus.
