Bloody Valentine <3

01/31/2013 by chicquero

Hilarious and grotesque in the same instant, these “Valentines Day,” series caused somewhat of an emotional response by the viewer. Wes Naman has been a self taught photographer of ten years before graduating from commercial photography in his home in North Carolina. Since moving to Albuquerque he has been an assistant to photographers such as Chip Simons and Robert Reck before deciding to start his own company, Naman Photography. In between working as a photojournalist for the weekly Alibi, freelancing […]

1 minute photoshop thoughts

01/21/2013 by chicquero

We absolutely love Austin, Texas based graphic designer Erin Hanson. Her work is inspired by simple “everyday random things” and some of her ideas are brilliantly showcased in this kinda minimal series called “1 Minute Photoshop Thoughts”. It´s clever, a little sarcastic and inspirational at the same time! Enjoy! I believe we all are prey to bouts of laziness. I am constantly in the throes and try to combat my ailment with a steady diet of inspiration and doing. Erin […]

Dick on a stick & stars in their eyes

12/21/2012 by chicquero

Brooklyn based photographer Henry Hargreaves doesn´t need introductions here, cause we absolutely love his fabulous work, so you have probably seen his creativity around! This time we decided to feature two series at once “Stars in their eyes” and “Dick on a stick”, both projects speak for themselves. It might be the matching Jell-O dick for the correspondent “star”, (who knows, lol). Hope you guys are having a “Happy Ending” (of the world). Have fun! Life is like a dick, […]

Cutest feminine silhouettes

11/13/2012 by chicquero

Based in London, Fabrice Le Nezet is a director/designer/artist doing “aesthetic research,” combining sculpture, fashion, architecture and toy design. Using symmetrical shapes, expressive and elegant silhouettes, and a muted neon pastel palette, he has brought to life his latest “Women’s Spring/Summer 2012″ series via this photo series. Besides the cuteness, we love the way he captures femininity in a fresh, charming and funny vibe. A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, […]

Naked news

09/14/2012 by chicquero

We love you, Tony! For the ones who doesn’t know him, photographer Tony Kelly was born in Ireland and originally working as a war photographer covering assignments like Rwanda and Afghanistan, he figured there had to be an easier way to make a buck. Turns out there is: hyper glossy photos of naked women. Since turning his attention to the sleazy end of the market he’s won critical acclaim for his work with Playboy, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and GQ. His style […]

Bubble Talk

08/28/2012 by chicquero

Cool drawings about talking by the artist Tang Yau Hoong. Speech bubbles are graphic convention used most commonly in comics, cartoons or illustrations. Instead of putting words into it to represent speech or thoughts of a character, what if the speech bubble itself has its own expression and characteristic? In this series of illustrations Tang wanted to explore the possibilities of telling a story/ message by speech bubbles graphically, without words or as least words as possible. Life is far too important a […]

New York based illustrator and graphic designer Erin Jang has an amazing ongoing series called Food Sketches which I could not help, had to share it! In these series Jang illustrates abstracted graphic representations of foods she has eaten in different restaurants. Such a creative way to share food experiences and how fun it could be! So hungry! A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety. Aesop >>>YOU MAY ALSO LIKE<<< Mini food feast Minimal […]

Photo manipulation for fashion

06/09/2012 by chicquero

Nowadays, artists are using too many different tools and technics to inspire us. The following post is a very interesting and beautiful mixture of Illustration and photo manipulation created by fashion brand Allen Solly.

Pokémons everywhere!

01/30/2012 by chicquero

Fashion & Pokémon Well, some very creative mind decided to combine the two in the new tumblr called Fashion & Pokémon , where he sticks Pokémon’s cartoons into various fashion editorials and designer’s campaigns. The weird but really cool thing is that the Pokémon really fit right in… whether they’re posing with Daria Werbowy or just chillin’ with Freja Beha! So much fun! “Everything you can imagine is real.” Pablo Picasso >>>YOU MAY ALSO LIKE<<< Louis Vuitton pop clowns Sweaty, […]

Sex, drugs & comics

01/27/2012 by chicquero

French photographer born in Toulouse and living in Saint Tropez Philippe Shangti dares everything with a disconcerting ease, fashion, decoration and photography of course. His work is amazingly flashy and provocative in psychedelic sets! Love the kinda trashy sense of humor, colors and exaggerations… it totally makes me laugh! “Philippe Shangti has the favour of contemporary art collectors and of celebrities seduced by his crazy photos. Photos which are quoted and printed in limited series.In big size, the work of Philippe […]

Rain without pain!

11/26/2011 by chicquero

Photographer David Burton did a phenomenal job capturing Elyse Saunders in this wet and super fun shoot for Elle Magazine Italia April 2011. Love the fact that the styling went from boots to pumps, multiple jackets, various shapes of umbrellas without losing the wicked and colorful style! Considering that rain can be so painful most of the times (excluding when you’re cuddling super cozy at home holding a mug with a hot mocha), this shoot really shows you can […]

Boys, heel me up!

11/24/2011 by chicquero

Creative Italian fashion photographer Giampaolo Sgura and stylist Miguel Arnau pay a cool and very comic tribute to boys who have “a thing” for high heels and some other feminine accessories with their editorial “Cendrillon” . Shot for the Shoe issue of Antidote Magazine Fall / Winter 2011-12, the story features models Malthe Lund Madsen, Alexandre Cunha, Diego Fragoso, Adrian Cardoso, Sebastian Sauvé and Gil Soares from Fashion Model Management. It makes me smile their kinda sexy clueless face and the fact that in some of […]
