The typographic mosaics and other art created by Nick Misani looks quite interesting even before you realize that these are all, in fact, digital illustrations.

“I started a passion project called Fauxsaics—a series of travel-inspired, typographic mosaic illustrations,” Misani writes on his website. His work has been featured in over 50 design sites and blogs. His work biography is rich with names like Apple, Target, Airbnb, Penguin Random House, PepsiCo, and many more.

I started @fauxsaics because I wanted a meditative, repetitive after-work activity to relax me and allow me to fantasize about traveling. I also wanted to find a way to merge my love for interiors, decorative arts, and typography. I didn’t imagine it would grow as it did and take me where it has. I’m so thrilled and grateful that Fauxsaics has just won awards from both @communicationarts and @howbrand and has gotten me nominated for the @shortyawards (which, I must admit, I had never heard of—but hey, RuPaul is also a nominee, so call me chuffed) I might or might not bug you for a vote later on, since I hate asking for things like this. I’m super grateful for your support, encouragement, but especially your patience! I know the fauxsaics class has taken me WAY longer than originally anticipated, but I’m excited to be making real headway. The script for the whole thing is done, now I’m starting on the filming and editing ❤️ in the meantime, here’s my #artnouveau fauxsaic for #Paris in a different color way!

I LOVE visiting #Boston, and the fact that some of my best friends live there makes it even better (sadly, none of them speak in that epic Boston accent yet) 😍 Mosaic theory tidbit: usually, there is a line that traces the perimeter of the main subject. This technique is called Opus Vermiculatum (because it worms around the edges). Sometimes, like in this case, there are two (or more) rows of this type of tiling ☝🏼✨ — Thank you all for the awesome feedback on what you’d like to see in my upcoming #fauxsaics class, which will be full of information and techniques like the one I just shared. I’ll be announcing the release date soon! So exciting! — Shoes by @vegetarianshoes Prints via link in bio
