One of the top trending tattoos of 2013: watercolor paintings. These are so incredibly and beautifully done-standing ovation the artists that produce them. Wonder what’s next for 2014.

This Dad, and Reddit user Tatsputin, colors in his children’s drawings during his flights for work trips. He either uses colored pencils or an iPad.
“I fly out of state to work 10 days out of each month. When I go, the kids give me pictures they’ve drawn. I color them on the plane and give the pictures back to them when I return. Nothing fancy. The kids love them.
He takes before and after pictures, then uploads them to Reddit. What an awesome way to make art with your kids!

Look at these awesome collage-style portraits by Chilean artist Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo. He mixes water color with digital effects to produce these layered pieces. The illustrations range from portraits to musicians to anatomy to animals.
Check out the rest of his diverse portfolio at AlvaroTapia.com.

Enjoy!
