a perfect show

earlier this week i went along to a perfect day and met the curator/brain behind the best illustration show i’ve seen in a long time

mister ‘paul faasen’ (pictured below) who also contributed work has managed to gather some of the best international names around and the show is an almost perfect mix of serious, hilarious, innovative and engaging work covering a wide range of styles and techniques

there is one week left and i recommend it to anyone with an hour to spare (otherwise find an hour somewhere)

fred herzog

when i first came across this work i not only instantly felll in love with it but was also convinced that it was by american street photographer ‘saul leiter’ who is currently the subject of a retrospective exhibition in amsterdam

in fact it is very much the same era and style as ‘leiter’ but a different town and a different person: namely ‘fred herzog’ see more of his beautiful oeuvre here

a really nice minimalistic cover for the new album (due for release in about a month) by one of my favourite artists: ‘sascha funke’ in collaboration with singer (and wife) ‘julienne dessagne’
