Sydney based photographer Jonathan May inspires his subjects with a lot of humor and profoundly touching circumstances . His instinctual ability to take a concept and tell a fab visual story is both innovative and compelling. Jonathan’s great love is the quirky, creative, concept-driven advertising that comes out of true collaboration with art directors. He really likes to find interesting characters and unconventional places, using color treatment to enhance the visual senses. Always looking for subtle humour (which I find so hard […]

Google Street Chaos

01/05/2012 by chicquero

Google Street View Jon Rafman is a lucky man for at least two reasons: (1) his priceless sensibility is a veil through which he sees a more beautiful world, a precious one that reaches such a state through the very aesthetic of non-preciousness; (2) he, through scouring the near infinite territory of Google street views, is statistically even able to consistently find universal moments of “condensed being” which would make the greatest haiku poet weep. Google is a global Rorschach […]

Fantasy way of life

Parallel Universe Elena Zhukova is the photographer behind this creative series of conceptual photographs. The purpose of her photographs is to illustrate the magnitude and vast range of human character and individuality in fictitious ways. She draws parallels between individuals she meets, or see, in real life and cartoon-type characters and envision in her fantasies. Some ideas are inspired by paintings, some are based on movies and books and some find their roots in the depth of my imagination without […]

Mustache Monday

11/21/2011 by chicquero

Mustache Freaks Mustache is that facial hair grown on the outer surface of the upper lip. It may or may not be accompanied by a type of beard, a facial hair style grown and cropped to cover most of the lower half of the face. The word “moustache” derives from 16th century French moustache, which in turn is derived from the Italian mostaccio. Dave Mead is an Austin, Texas-based (why I’m not surprised?) photographer who shoots advertising and editorial with a primary focus on the […]

A minimal shot of a random spot.

11/10/2011 by chicquero

It looks like German photographers are talented in capturing (and finding) minimalist landscapes. Here is Klaus Leontjew, German photographer based in Oldenburg with amazing sense of color and a great eye for geometric compositions. His target is usually , buildings in construction, parking lots, grocery stores, manufacturing plants and sort of random places like that… Love to see the color blocking and stripes in his minimal artwork! So cool! “I shut my eyes in order to see”. Paul Gauguin

I’ve always thought typography is something really cool specially when well designed with a nice touch of creativity… and of course, when inspires you, when makes you think about life or a specific circumstance or either when it makes a statement. Sometimes I see tipography art and I simply like (just because)… Love the impact, the message and coolness of it so I decided to select some random typography from various artists and put it together in one post.
