Ticky Ticky Ticky



Typewritters are awesome. Especially when you bought them or helped to track them down. I need to photograph some others.

Tote the new Tee?


Urban Outfitters are sporting some rather coolio tote bags. A new one is designed for every time a new store opens. Very very coolio!

UO


I really wish I was back in New York, Urban Outfitters always had cool clothes and stuff in there and were so cheap in comparison to over here in the UK. I bought a really cool Local Celebrity tee from there for about £10 and later managed to get dye all over it - I was gutted.

Are Lovely


An interesting site to make people more aware of the issues of sustainable graphic design and the power graphic designers have with regards to environmental issues. Hmmm interesting.

Serial Cut


The stuff over at http://www.serialcut.com/ is an a league of its own. Its really good to see people imaging making in 3D and cutting and pasting in the real world without choosing to just do it all digitally. Inspiring.



Funnily enough the stuff for Colour&Illusions Fan Poster a few images down - with the Purple words and such - we have some of those in our studio after stealing them from a skip in Glasgow one early morning.

Izima Kaoru - Super Likeee



I'm a really big fan of the BBC 3 TV show, Japanorama. On a recent issue focusing on Horror and Japan being the scariest and most haunted place in the world, the work of Kaoru Izima was featured.

His wok reminds me a lot of Joel Meyerowitz (who recently published a book of photos documenting and photographing the work done at ground zero after 9/11) and also of Andreas Gursky. All there have use colour amazingly well, completely saturated.

Izima's shift of fashion and celebrity photography, photographing the subject from the point of view of the dead subjects soul as it rises from the body and looks back on its self. I find it really fascinating and engaging way to look at something in a different way.

I'll have to try and find the interview of him on Japanorma somewhere on the Internet.

EDIT: Here is a link for the interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IJF9f1gbqM

Justice - D.A.N.C.E (Version Finale)



An updated version (Final) of the brilliant animated tee video as posted a week ago. Few updates including some new shots and new tee designs being animated. Enjoy!

EDIT: Unfortunatly the decided to ditch the very last shot with the guy getting shot and the pink blood. Incase you haven't seen it, watch the previous version all the way to the end. Personally I think it was a shame to loose the shot (no pun intended).

Lauren Felton



Amazingly sleek and well photographyed.
