so tonight, like a whole bunch of the UK public, i found myself having a few drinks and watching Britain’s Got Talent.
lady worthington was bemused by the drastic change in simon cowell’s nose, while I was deeply touched by little Hollie Steel when she cried on stage after forgetting the lyrics.
I think lll she wanted [...]

after researching jim lambie, it appears that his usual creative out-put centers around themes such as brightly coloured taping of floors, and installations of trash/treasure including the kitchen sink. however a recent collection of work has surfaced from mr lambie, which features old chinese oil paintings of floral arrangements, cut up and layered over pop-culture [...]

i think i say this nearly every post- it’s most often the simplest of things, or a simple re-imagining that makes the most incredible Images. we’ve all seen shots taken underwater, and syncronised swimmers on tv but this is a beautiful take on the subject.
alinka echeverría’s films and photography of synchronised swimmers constitues the series [...]

lady worthington and i met fellow melbournite marcus keating at a friends house party a few weeks ago.
i was taken aback by these brilliant haphazard cast rocks that were hanging around his neck by a garish gold chain.
turns out he’d only just decided to cast & wear them about an hour before departing for the [...]

androgenous, yet with with ultra-long blonde hair, brit girl emma balfour was one of the more enigmatic of the models of the nineties. i always thought she looked like she didn’t care too much about keeping up with fashion, which was what i liked about her. that, and her unique concoction of powerful/fragile/cold/dark/blonde beauty.
i just [...]

Norwegian are mokkelbost is the man behind the collage insanity that is ION.
i initially thought that he was yet another photoshop wizard, but further investigation on his site b-o-r-g.org lead me to realize that he spends a whole lot of time with scissors and glue.
these pieces took over three years to produce. the result is [...]

hello ms weiss,
i don’t know much about your acting, but what i saw in about a boy was good stuff as far as i could tell… i’m sure you’re great on film. you do, however, turn out to be a real head-turner on the red carpet. for all the right reasons. you are a consistently [...]

parisian graphic designer/illustrator sandrine pagnoux illustrates that there is a darker side to the world of glamour pusses and beauty queens. her work has been seen in all sorts of magazines and press, but check out her website for more… especially the collaborative work with photographer sophie etchart; another frenchie who i have previously blogged [...]

manual pandalis doesn’t just shoot black and white portraits. (i think he is actually more of a fashion and beauty photographer, judging from his body of work.) however these contrasting portraits are so striking and well juxtaposed i just had to write about these instead. i originally found manuel’s work when his agent came by [...]

graeme is scottish, but it looks like he managed to find his way down to london, via going to art college in birmingham. and what a worthwhile journey it was! i used to live right near where these shots were taken- hampstead heath. and i can tell you the light you can soak up on [...]

i like ami clarke’s modular disjointed pieces.
a common thread in her work seems to be the hiding of certain elements of a preexisting images. it’s all fairly understated very subtly alluding to the world beyond the frame or a deeper element that’s been hidden or removed.
i guess to the viewer at least, they’re the unknown [...]
