Smack dab in the middle of Dirk Rees’ über-glossy fashion and advertising portfolio I found some lovely shots from his personal work.

The good folks over at VNA Magazine (UK) sent over their latest issue and it’s a great little publication! VNA stands for “Very Nearly Almost” and could be a reference to narrowly escaping the long arm of the law as the mag primarily documents street art.

Back in 2002 I came across a great issue of Shift Magazine (a now defunct Canadian mag similar to Wired) which featured clay busts of the whole Simpsons family. I loved them so much, I immediately tore out the pages and stuck them on my wall. They are actually still on my wall, and last month I was thinking about scanning them to put them up here but I realised I didn’t even know who had created them.

A few days ago – totally out of the blue – Karen Caldicott dropped me a link to her clay work and when I loaded up her site I was shocked – I couldn’t believe it. She was the one who had made the clay sculptures! I’ve been a fan of hers all this time and didn’t know it! VIEW THE FULL POST —►

Brooklyn-based photographer, Nicholas Haggard. Saw some similarities between his work and Hanitijo’s so I figured I’d post them back to back (or head to toe, I guess).

Flora Hanitijo grew up in Montreal Canada and she currently lives, and snaps photos, in New York.

First of all, I just want to say thank you to all you regular readers of the site, you’ve really made this site something I look forward to updating everyday. Moving forward, I’m going to devote even more time to the site because, well, this baby is still growing at an alarming rate. 170,000 views in the past two months is no joke! Big thanks to all the sponsors/advertisers for helping offset my site costs.

In honor of the huge increase of spam in the comments section (none of which actually shows up thanks to the wonderful akismet plugin) and the appearance of spam text messages on my freakin cell phone (how?) I am heading to the spam capital of the world (the other kind!). If anyone needs me I’ll be getting tanned and jacked in Maui for the week.

I’ve pre-written a few posts, so there will continue to be new content posted while I’m away. As soon as I return I’ll post up the Project #3 gallery (had some great submissions already)! Oh, and keep your eyes peeled, I’ve got a bunch of fun stuff planned for the upcoming months.

Aloha.
