Schimmel
Materials Used: Paper ads, paper that's been written on, book pages, tiles. She uses a theme of materials for each piece of work.
I like the way this artist goes through color materials, and incorporates words into most of her work. She uses the facial expressions of the people she's portraying to match the message in a way that really flows together, and uses a good selection of colors, and her pop-art style.
iRi5
Materials Used: Film, cassette tape, canvas, sheet music.
Just picturing how tedious it would be to tie and untie the film and tape seems like it would take a lot of patience. His work looks simple and professional looking, and he makes the icons out of the medium that particular artist used. For example, he made Bob Marley out of cassette tape, and he makes movie stars out of film.
Mark Grieve
Materials Used: Bike wheels, wheels of all sorts, bikes
I like the junkyard feel his work gives. It's like he makes a world out of old beaten up bikes and other interesting materials you would find in a junkyard, and his work makes me think of hip hop music videos from the 90's.

His Facebook (could not find his personal site)
Materials Used: Floppy discs, oil paint
I think this artist creatively uses obsolete materials for his canvas, and his paint on the floppy disks mixes modern with retro.
Yuken Teruya
Materials Used: Toiletpaper rolls, money, pizza boxes, etc.
I really enjoy this artist's work because he makes modern material look more organic and natural. It's simplicity in a paper world.
