rodrigo de filippis (NOTPAPER (a blog about collage))

I usually don't post about digital collage work unless I think it's really fantastic. So in this case, yeah, it's pretty fantastic, because Rodrigo's work is mainly digital. I like the greater amount of detail that can be accomplished by using a computer, even though my preference is still handmade. I love the way Rodrigo combines his collage and graphic design work in a very harmonious way, which digital collage artists can do so well.
