Psychedelic-Portraits-by-Tyler-Spangler

Artist and graphic designer Tyler Spangler works on the formalist relationship between images removed from their original context. Exploring the connotations of colour, form and photography through the medium of digital collage, he reinterprets found pictures by adding visual psychedelic touches. Over the last couple of years, Tyler Spangler has filled six 440-paged books with his own designs. The artist has a BA in Psychology and is an Art Center College of Design dropout. Currently freelancing with clients in the music, surf, and textile industry, he once ran an illegal punk venue for 13 shows until the police shut it down.
