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 […]

Little People Project

The street-based side of my work plays with the notion of surprise and I aim to encourage city-dwellers to be more aware of their surroundings. The scenes I set up, more evident through the photography and the titles I […]

Fallout of urban sprawl

09/18/2012 by chicquero

Daniel Danger is an illustrator and printmaker working out of New England. Amidst old houses dead from the fallout of urban sprawl, railway bridges asleep from neglect, and trees that engulf everything; his work attempts to remind you of something you may have said to someone, or something someone may have said to you; back in that time period thats just too far away to remember clearly, but not so long ago you forgot about it completely. His memories and many […]

Where droids feel at home.

Dark Lens French photographer Cédric Delsaux started out shooting what he calls “the peripheral zones” of modern cities such as wastelands, empty deserts, scrapyards. Yet something was missing … and then he had the idea of placing characters from Star Wars into the images. That´s why “Dark Lens” series is an unsettling confluence of hyper-real cityscapes, a post-postmodern sense of humor … and characters from Star Wars. Why combine this with our current reality? I don´t know, but it looks quite cool, innovative and for some […]
