More folk

Free, raw and authentic – this is the self-described world of Ian Woods.

The Florida-based ‘remix’ artist found his calling early, experimenting in kindergarten, before doing digital portraits of pop-culture figures on his iPad as a highschool freshman.

Now, he’s an expert in collage work: sketching shapes onto printed photographs, layering patterns and pasting by hand for the likes of Spotify, Disney, LA Times, Brooklyn Nets and A$AP Rocky.

What makes you different?

"I am always observing, seeking inspiration in everything, my work has this contemporary nostalgic feel."

Ian layers 2 images on top of one another, sketching out a pattern on top of one of the images and using an exacto knife to cut out the sketching.

"We are all multifaceted. All our parts have to be nourished and talked about, otherwise the bad ones get worse."

"One time, I threw a piece away and it had got crumpled. I took it out of the trash can and put sandpaper to it and it made a really cool distressed look - I’ve been using that technique ever since."
