upside down

ok, maybe the subject matter has a lot to do with my own current state of mind but these two photo projects on children (both featured in dutch paper ‘de volkskrant’ recently) are worth a mention: korean-american photographer jeongmee yoon has done a series about wealth in the west…

and dutch photographer eva snoijink has completed a portrait series (and book) entitled ‘the upside of down’ on young children with downs syndrome

the viktor & rolf of dutch design

‘sander plug’ has launched a new site for his collaborative work with creative partner ‘lernert’, called we love our work and so do i… check the ‘no limits’ cover… according to them ‘easily the worst song ever’

i once read a magazine interview with ‘2 unlimited’ whereby a journalist asked them jokingly: ‘so, who writes the lyrics for your stuff?’ amazingly he got a serious answer, something like ‘oh we do that all together’
no, no… no, no, no, no, there’s no limits

him and his pen

hand-drawn typo, from self-confessed ‘beard wearer & rotring pen-lover’ daren newman a.k.a. ‘me & my pen’
nice to see a new name, who isn’t trying to emulate all the other people you see online, but creating his own style…
(i spotted this over at the FFF blog)
