got acne?

i’m not generally very enthusiastic about lifestyle magazines published by fashion brands but the latest issue of the ‘acne papers’ (number eleven) is an exception, although it can be browsed in it’s entirety online, the physical version is worth getting hold of

well made, genuinely interesting articles, strong photo editing and a generous format make all the difference for this one… i really love the candid image of reclusive painter ‘lucien freud’ shown at the top…

dope

unusual poster which caught my eye in town: an exhibition entitled ‘five centuries of the baptist church in holland’, there wasn’t a credit for the design or photo (does anybody know?) the disjointed word across the poster is dutch for ‘baptised’
