Avedon was always interested in how portraiture captures the personality and soul of its subject. As his reputation as a photographer grew, he brought in many celebrities and...

BRUNCH BOX
About the Project
I recently had the pleasure of working with the folks at Brunch Box to create an identity system and truck wrap for their new brunch food truck. It was a great learning experience all around. The clients had never really purchased art before, and I had never designed a food truck wrap. We went through a bunch of ideas and when it came down to it, they wanted to reflect the...

I’ve been listening to Modest Mouse’s We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank in preparation for writing this post. Then I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to write something that was constructively critical, rather than saying “this album is the worst thing I’ve heard ever.” I guess that about sums things up,...

In this series he invited close friends to tell him a secret as he photographed them. His sole intention was to capture each persons expression as they told the secret. At the end of the photo session he...

My work dwells in a netherworld between urban fine art and contemporary graphics, A collision of real and digital media it is primarily illustration based with a firm foundation in drawing, I focus mainly on the human form particularly the face, interweaving elements from the animal kingdom often reflecting the absurdity of human nature.

The Fun and Colorful Illustrations of Sami...
Sami Viljanto is an illustrator based between Helsinki and Berlin. His drawings are just bursting with energy. Each image he makes seems to be cram-packed with fun and playful characters and they jump from the page with bright and lively colors. It’s hard not to feel happy when looking at his work. I could honestly stare at the bottom illustration for an hour and not get bored – those crazy...

Of Recklessness and Water: A photo series by...
I’ve been in a mood to post more photographers lately, so thankfully I came across the work ofElizabeth Weinberg. She shoots a lot of lifestyle photos but I really enjoyed one project of hers in particular called ‘Of Recklessness and Water.’ Looking through the series you totally get the idea that she may have been a dolphin or something in a previous life. She has such a knack of photographing...

A Half dome made of books
Colombian artist Miler Lagos created this awesome dome made entirely from stacked books. The method used for stacking the books is similar to building an igloo. It’s not an easy task.
Do you think the dome was disassembled book by book or do you think they had fun with it? Perhaps a game of JENGA was played.
