Brick Lane Mosaics & Other London Street Art
For a fun outing in London, head over to Brick Lane on a market day. In addition to some great officially-sanctioned mosaics (left), you’ll find lots of cool street art and fun stuff painted on or glued to just about every bare space of wall you’ll come across. Lots of small details – like this [...]
Underground Mosaics: Tottenham Ct. Rd., London
I recently got back from a trip to London to visit my good friend Alex, the evil genius behind Creating Trouble. I’m lucky enough that Al is a mosaic artist and appreciator herself (check out her stuff on Etsy, y’all!), so it wasn’t too hard for me to convince her that a London mosaic tour [...]

Spotlight: Chicago Mosaic School
I recently got back from a quick trip to the Chicago Mosaic School for a one-day workshop in smalti. This was the first time I’d been to the school, so I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but I was totally excited to go. It turns out my enthusiasm was not unwarranted – the workshop [...]
Downtown Chicago Mosaics Walking Tour
A few weeks ago, I went to Chicago for the 10th annual SAMA (Society of American Mosaic Artists) conference. It was a crazy week filled with workshops, volunteering, meeting new people, learning about different mosaic materials and techniques… the list goes on. Needless to say, I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep. I did, [...]
Time Lapse Dice Mosaic Video
Watch as the artist assembles two mosaics of American icons with dice (yep – dice) using the same principles behind ASCII art.
Mosaic Artist Spotlight: Pascal Levaillant
Prompted by an invitation from a friend and fellow artist, I recently joined a social networking site for mosaic artists called Contemporary Mosaic Art. After having spent some time familiarizing myself with the site, I can say that it does a better job at facilitating artist networking, peer review, and exchange of ideas than any [...]
Stop Motion Video of Leather Mosaic by Philip Long
Here’s a cool video showing leather artist Philip Long creating a very impressive leather mosaic — a beautiful and thoughtful tribute to four Oakland police officers killed in 2009. You can see the amount of work that went in to this piece — it’s pretty mind-blowing. Nicely done, Philip! And what a neat video, too. [...]
Oscar the Grouch in Glass
Check out this mosaic of Oscar the Grouch by Donna at Sundog Mosaics. I love it! It probably doesn’t hurt that Oscar is my favorite muppet (although Cookie Monster is right up there, too) – but I think Donna has done a fabulous job of capturing the scrappy furriness of the Grouch in glass. You [...]
