Dancers among us!

01/23/2013 by chicquero

“The inspiration for this book came to me one afternoon as I watched my son, Hudson, playing with his toy bus. I was trying to keep pace with his three-year-old mind as he got deeper and deeper into a fantasy involving nothing more than a yellow plastic box and armless figurines. At least that’s what I saw. He saw frantic commuters rushing to catch the 77 local bus to Australia. He jumped in place, mouth open and slapping his knees, joyously reacting to […]

Scotch Tape Series - Wes Naman Photography - Chicquero Laugh Funny - 32

Scotch Tape Portraits

01/03/2013 by chicquero

Forget special effects, prosthetics and hyper-detailed makeup; all you need to turn a willing friend into a monster is a little Scotch tape. Photographer Wes Naman used the unassuming office supply to transform human faces into bizarre flesh mashups, creating a unique series both amusing and horrifying, full of deep meaning and metaphor, both negative and positive, a social commentary that defies all common sense. According to Wired, Naman stumbled upon the technique while wrapping Christmas presents with his assistant when the two […]

Double exposure portraits

12/28/2012 by chicquero

Brazilian photographer Heitor Magno is a really cool visual artist who’s behind some very eye-catching double exposures. He applies many of his double exposed imagery “like a tattoo artist on flesh; the effect is seamless and stunning at times”. Reminiscent of Matt Wisniewski‘s work, Heitor often mixes the human body with various natural elements and he literally likes to “play with fire” in a darker conceptual way. Awesome portraits! Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But […]

Little People Project

The ‘Little People Project‘ started in 2006. It involves the remodeling and painting of miniature model train set characters, which I then place, photograph and leave on the street.

The scenes I set up, more evident through the photography and the titles I […]
