Evan Hecox

I’ve always been a fan of Evan Hecox. This is a little clip by Felipe Lima, curated by Arkitip, that shows how he goes about producing some of his work.

Banksy’s movie. It’s interesting. Fun. It answers some questions but also creates more. I just saw it and you should too. It’s in cinemas now.

Ayaka Nishi

Ayaka Nishi makes some amazing jewelery that are more like pieces of art. I like anything relating to bones… so I love her latest collection.

from her site…

“Inspired by the simple beauty found in the shapes and forms of the natural world, Ayaka Nishi endeavors to create jewelry of unparalleled beauty and exquisite craftsmanship. A unique feature of her works is that they exist simultaneously on two levels: they serve as compliments to the wearer’s wardrobe while at the same time they stand alone as singular works of art.”

Lisa Black

Lisa Black makes some of the best work I’ve seen in a while and seeing as though I haven’t posted in a while it makes sense to get going again on a high. Be amazed.

Dead Weather…

Were absolutely fucking amazing last night!

Turncoats

UK Folding Plug

The UK Folding Plug transforms from a bulky three-pin plug into a portable, hassle-free plug ideal for people on the go. When not in use, the UK Folding Plug transforms into a 10 mm-thick flat object. A complete product range built around this design will be launched in 2010.

Story of every creative professionals life…

I think every creative on the planet can tell you a story about how someone; a start-up business, a big business, a self professed entrepreneur or even a close friend has asked them to work for free or for a beer or for ‘more work in the future’. Take note anyone asking for creative services:

ASSUMING NO VALUE IN A CREATIVES WORK, NO MATTER WHAT FIELD, IS LIKE SPITTING IN THEIR FACE.

Thanks to Gerry Mak from Lost at Eminor for finding this.

Paul Barbera

“Paul Barbera was born in Melbourne, Australia. Paul works between Melbourne and Amsterdam, also living in various locales that include Berlin, Prague, Singapore and Rome. During this time, he has established himself as an interiors and fashion photographer, working with publications like View on Color, Bloom, Elle Decor, Freudin, Grazia, Vogue Living and Jalouse.

Working on advertising and editorial work while also expanding into new projects that include books and exhibitions…” …this is where my love of Paul’s work come in (not that I don’t like his commercial work). His projects LOVE LOST and WHERE THEY CREATE are saving my sanity at the moment, so I’m glad I found them when I did. The images are real, they are honest and they are simply beautiful. Anything that cuts through the make believe glamour and bullshit of the mainstream money culture has my respect. I love the way Paul see’s the world and recommend you take a look at his sites to see his work in full context.

Bert Spangemacher

Bert Spangemacher is a photographer. The emotion he has captured and the power coming out of his travel photographs could only be described as epic. His portraits are stunning and his studio work simply beautiful. Take a few moments from your day and absorb life as seen through his lense… You can see him in action here.

Some more tube…

Old but good…

Wrangler Red Campaign

Wrangler’s new spring/summer Red Campaign celebrates our primal urges. Powerfully raw and visceral, this latest instalment of the ‘We Are Animals’ brand platform captures men and women in the heart of the moment, saturated in red water or caught in a fury of red dust.

Their new Blue Bell site is definitely worth entertaining also.

Peaches Rocks

Peaches was the highlight at Big Day Out, Perth. Anyone who ‘crowd walks’ and can keep singing is amazing. Her costumes and techy instruments are always good to see! If you haven’t seen Peaches live… GO, RIGHT NOW!

Mike Davis & Henry Lewis

One of my favourite artists Henry Lewis has been visited by Fecal Face. Some nice shots of his studio and how the guy exists. Also some pics of Mike Davis’ work for a show the two had in January. Check it out…

Cade Martin

A look at Cade Martin’s client list tells you this guy knows how to shoot. A look at Cade Martin’s work tells you this guy has something worth saying.
