Christina of Sweden - The Androgynous Queen (1626 – 1689)
This is an absolutely incredible digital art series by Alexia Sinclair. Here's an excerpt from her site explaining the series:
"Alexia Sinclair’s The Regal Twelve is a series that combines hundreds of photographic elements and illustrations to form complex digitally montaged artworks. The series portrays twelve European monarchs who have ruled supreme and whose lives span over two millennia. Through the study of history and portraiture, a series of contrasting regals formed, whose stories are revealed within each artwork. Travelling to Europe to photograph a host of regal backdrops, Sinclair returned to Australia to photograph models and props in the studio. Like pieces from a jigsaw puzzle, she meticulously stitched together each element, along with a myriad of delicious symbols and motifs relating to each monarch."

I know this series has made its run around the internet, but I'd still like to share it. This series was created by Serena Malyon, who took Vincent van Gogh paintings and used Photoshop to create the tilt-shift effect.
Here's some great digital artwork of Pierre Doucin aka Soemone. I love the way he blends different photo and shape elements into beautiful cohesive images. His images have a natural feel to them even though the content within them says otherwise.
Alexandre Farto aka Vhils is a Portuguese street artist based in London. He has an amazing knack for creating large wall art pieces. His art stands out because they huge pieces that are created by playing with layers and textures to create the effect.
