the ubiquity of photography means that comparisons to other people are often difficult to avoid, ‘irving penn’ springs directly to mind for example when i met and saw the portfolio of young graduate rein janssen earlier this week, he is a still-life photographer with a hunger for experimentation and some beautiful projects under his belt already, one of the nicest books i have seen in a while and one to watch…
really nice piece of ‘animated illustration’ from xaver xylophon (via fontanel)
the heading says it all, just some random typography i came across in germany last week…
american artist bryan nash is very much involved with wood as a material, his latest project has been bundled into a book called woodcut which simply focuses on the inherent beauty of trees
the book is deceptively simple in its premise despite the laborious process involved in the creation of these raw black impressions of tree cross sections
(once again my gratitude to the barking mad, linkmeister ‘jean louis’ for this wooden tip)
a recent print campaign for ‘als’ (a fatal disease) featuring portraits people suffering from the condition but who were already deceased by the time the campaign was launched & shot by my friend ‘lukas göbel’ has just won gold at the cannes advertising festival this week, congrats from me!
