Where's the head?...



Haunting, headless photographs, unfortunately I can't remember the artist. I find them eerily calm. Enjoy.

Bibliotheque...





Absolutely stunning pictures of libraries. Wouldn't love it if that was your living room. Enjoy

I'm feeling pink today...






I thought I would post some pictures centered around the color pink. Aren't they sweet. Enjoy

Surprise...



Lovely cut out book covers from book artist Thomas Allen. I love how playful they are. I think he also contributed to a window display at Selfridges department store in London a few months ago. Enjoy.

Calming white...


Another lovely white interior. Could use some accents of color but overall very nice and clutter free. Enjoy

50's Style...



Beautiful 1950's style photos of actress Diane Kruger. Don't you love how elegant they are. Enjoy

Recession Style...




SS09 is being strongly influenced by the other major recession, you know, the one from the 1920's. But no fear you won't be seeing hobo style torn trousers and string belts here, it's all glitz and glamour. Expect low waist-lines, pleats and lots of sparkle.

Marie Antoinette eat your heart out...



Beautiful fashion photography using Marie Antoinette as a style influence starring none other than French cinema star Gerard Depardieu. Absolutely stunning. Enjoy.

Up up and away...



Strange, but beautiful photographs, unfortunately I don't know the artist's name. Don't you wonder how they did it?

Faded elegence...





I love the narrow color palette in these photos, and the feel of faded elegance. The peeling wallpaper, the faded fabric and the dimly lit room. I also love the use of the empty fames hung on the wall. Enjoy.

Dzama good drawings...



I first saw Marcel Dzama work in an art gallery in New York last year, and I immediately loved the delicate style of his drawings, and the quirky fantasy worlds he created. Take a look at the clothes the people are wearing. Enjoy

Theatrical fabric...



These beautiful photographs show off the dramatic clothes so well. I love the way the fabric floats, and how colorful it is. Enjoy

Without Photoshop!!?




The photographs of Jerry Uelsmann have fascinated me for a few years, not only because they are beautiful and mysterious. But because they are created using traditional darkroom methods of manipulation. These days anyone with an intermediate knowledge of Photoshop would be able to achieve similar effects in their photographs, but to be able to do it to this level of perfection in the darkroom is a rare skill. Enjoy.

What is that?...

This unrecognizable illustrated form is quite beautiful I think. The curves and the delicacy of the lines fascinates me. Unfortunately I can't remember where I found it. Enjoy.

I see right through you...

This interesting book work comes from artist Noriko Ambe. It looks quite bizarre, but I like it, the cut outs in the pages totally transform the image of the person. Enjoy

To knit or not?


Now the thought of knitting immediately makes you think of your grandmother, but the other day I went to Spitalfields and brick lane markets with a friend and saw several people at their stalls waiting for customers and knitting! These markets are young and trendy so there were very few grandmothers present, so knitting seems to have made a comeback with my generation. Here is an example of how knitting has been updated through it's usage. What do you think?
