Benoit Paillé -> Light Experimentation

I find these ‘Light Experimentations’ taken in northern Quebec to be very well captured and inspirational. Coming from a photographer who states “I hate landscape”, Benoit Paillé tries to create his own by modifying the environment with light. More beyond the link.

Lauren Marsolier -> Photography

I think artist photographer Lauren Marsolier is a genius. His ability to detect healthy tension and strong composition in a seemingly sterile location is inspiring. It’s one thing to capture a beautiful photo from something that is interesting and captivating from the get go, it’s another to capture something beautiful and interesting from a location [...]

Chaos Crew -> The Tattooed Poster

Notes from Site:

“In a celebration of some of 2011′s most newsworthy events, Munich’s Chaos Crew Tattoo Studio created a massive poster that shows the true art of tattooing by using a large piece of calfskin. By using the skin instead of creating an image and transferring the work to paper, the integrity of the original [...]

Jonathan Saiz -> ALKAHEST

I really admire the delicate attention to detail and color in these prismic, large scale oil painting series untitled, “ALKAHEST” by Mykonos based Jonathan Saiz. Have a look through the full series via the link below. (via yayeveryday.com)

Notes from Site:

“In this crystalline form everything is made of the multitude – the splendors [...]

Mobile Photos -> Personal Musings

It’s been a while since I’ve shamelessly posted any of my own personal musings and photo experiments. My mobile photo updates are now part of my weekly routine on tumblr, wether it was a conscious decision or not, I’ll never know. It’s fun. Lately, I’m getting a kick out of flipping my images, a simple trick, [...]

Sensu -> Artist Brush for iPad

A friend turned me on to this amazing looking digital artist brush coming from Artist Hardware called the Sensu brush. I’ve been drawing a lot more thanks to the 53 Paper app, it would be a lot of fun to try out a real brush on the screen. It looks promising. Additional note: this innovative idea [...]

All Hail The Beat -> Roland TR-808

When I close my eyes and think of the the 80s, this is the sound that I hear, accompanied with the visual of florescent yellow fat laces, laced perfectly straight across on my Air Jordans… miss those. The signature sound of the Roland TR-808 helped to transform the music industry during the 1980s. There’s some interesting [...]

Indoor Clouds -> Berndnaut Smilde

Amazing lighting seen within these ‘Indoor Clouds’ by Amsterdam artist photographer Berndnaut Smilde. I’m curious about his process, I’ll try to dig up some information.

Excerpt from his Site:

“Berndnaut Smilde’s work often draws upon the physical presence of transitional spaces. Places such as corridors, elevators, staircases and balconies interest Smilde as spaces that exist to be in [...]

Raster -> 3x4 grid typeface

I dig this typeface coming from Feldkirch, Austria based designer David Gobber. It feels fresh and also seems to capture the essence of the Art Deco design style of an earlier era. I think it’s the suspended mid-waist of the ‘E’ that’s making me go there… He’s got a bunch of very nice, inspirational work on his [...]

Where Things Come From -> Hardy Seiler

This animated short by Hannover, Germany based designer Hardy Seiler is beautifully done. Nice motion, illustration, clever transitions, interesting dialogue and overall message.  Have a look.

Notes from Vimeo:

“I just finished my Bachelor project – a short animated trailer for a fictional education tv-series.”

Photographer -> Felix Odell

I’ve rediscovered the work of Stockholm based photographer Felix Odell this evening. His Buenos Aires photos (2010) were the first that caught my eye, but I’m absolutely captivated by ‘The Mist’ series of photos from 2009 as well. His whole collection is amazing and worth checking out.

Leica Portrait -> Joel Meyerowitz

Notes from Vimeo:

“An award-winning street photographer who has been creating memorable images in the great photojournalistic tradition since 1962, Joel Meyerowitz pioneered the use of color in this slice of life genre, and his classic book on Cape Cod, “Cape Light” was instrumental in changing the prevailing dismissive attitudes toward color photography. An inveterate Leica [...]

Elle Perez -> Photography

I came across the photography of Elle Perez recently. I enjoy the sense of honesty and humanity that he’s able to capture within each scenario or series. I also like that he’s embedded his portfolio into his Tumblr blog. Pretty clever and definitely worth checking out.

Nerhol -> Timelapse Portrait Photography

Book and paper artist Ryuta Iida and artist Yoshihisa Tanaka have partnered to create these amazing timelapse portraits that have been cut and sliced to reveal the subtle changes that occur as time passes us by. The works above are just a few selects from a larger collection called ‘Misunderstanding Focus’. It’s interesting how some [...]
