Ideafixa is yet another online “magazine” where contributions are made from talented photographers, artists, designers and illustrators from all over the world. What makes this magazine so cool is that their 1st issue is based on the theme of “sex”. Some great contributions have been made by some of the talent we’ve featured on Sex in Art so be sure to check it out.
Fantastic work by Paris based designer and illustrator Matthieu Appriou. Super nice style. I’d love a few of his posters.
I stumbled upon this Flickr site of Cantik Fotos. He’s got some nice nude photography on there but what caught my eye was his Desolation Row set. A series of photos which capture a very interesting and futuristic looking abandoned housing project in Taiwan. PS: No offense to the photographer, or the model, but I have to say that my fave photos in the set are the ones which just feature the urban decay and amazing architecture.
Wow, love the work of Zoren Gold & Minori Murakami, all of their imagery just oozes extraordinary amounts of talent, definitely on the fashion razors edge. (via).
Personal photos by Montreal based Photographer Jim Verburg who has split his portfolio into names of the men he has been intimate with. Far from the dark, gritty and sometimes crass realism of many other photographers who love to capture intimate moments. I find Jim’s work gentle and quite beautiful.
Considered the preeminent chronicler of youth culture in the photography world, American Photographer Lauren Greenfield’s documentary work has gained international exposure through her books, museum exhibitions, and magazine publications.
Her main body of work, Girl Culture, is a book and traveling exhibition and has become the definitive photographic documentation on American girls in the 21st century. Now in its fourth edition, the book is a ground-breaking exploration of girls’ relationships with their bodies and the popular culture. Much more work on her site and a “Girl Culture” specific gallery here. (via).
Edland Man was initially a fashion illustrator for international fashion magazines and later a known for his photography and acclaimed photomontages, made with and without the aid of a computer. There’s not much on his site, but what’s there sure is punchy.
Manifesto - we love the idea of this book. 150 Fashion professionals and 150 non-professionals are given a disposable camera and are asked to capture their view on fashion. All 300 images will be featured in the book which is due for release in 2007.
Since may 2004 the Museum of Porn in Art has been organizing exhibitions which take place in a small winestore called Edi’s Weinstube, situated in the heart of Zurich. Every month an open-minded audience gets spoiled with great contemporary porno-erotic art created by young international artists. Definitely a priority on our list of things to do when we visit Switzerland!
Some of the whackiest shunga I’ve ever seen by Japanese Artist Toshio Saeki. There’s only a few artworks in his gallery, but you can download some desktop wallpapers here (!!!).
Photography by K Leo. Black blacks, sometimes dynamic, sometimes serene, always beautiful.
I’m not a fan of Adobe Photoshop filters, especially when applied at 100% to make a photo appear “painted”. Spain based artist Jehan Legac has a whole lot of filter art in his portfolio but I just couldn’t help enjoying some of the great colours and composition in his work. It’s dreamy, surreal and sexy (he obviously worships the female form). Bravo bravo bravo!
Some absolutely fantastic design work and personal sketches by Hong Kong based Illustrator and Graphic Designer H.C. Lee who graduated from Camberwell College of Art in London.
Simone Leigh (born in Chicago, lives and works in Brooklyn) is a Caribbean artist who’s ceramic sculptures draw parallels between the history of colonialism and the history of ceramics. By commenting on the stereotyping of race and ethnicity through subtle changes in ceramic glazes, Leigh provokes viewers into confronting their own superficial prejudices about the female body & the tradition of craft.
“My name is Jason Chan and I like to draw :)”
Yes we can tell Jason! Great illustration work by this young San Francisco based dude who hasn’t even graduated from illustration school yet. I especially like the vampyre stuff (hey I’m always a little partial to vampyres!).
