Eyegasm #9

Oleg Duryagin From Duryagin’s Biography: I use artificial nature of a digital photography as a tool to reach the point between opposites such as alive and dead, attractive and disturbing, beautiful and ugly. Thus I’m searching to transcribe the feeling of presence that you get while passing the plastic mannequin. Meanwhile I believe that the [...]

Frederic Fontenoy Fontenoy’s “Metamorphose” set is truly stunning. I wish I could post every photograph, but you’ll just have to view it here. Aakash Nihalani Obsessed with these tape installations! Super eye-catching, original and fun! Plus, who doesn’t like pissing the police off? ;] Clayton Cubitt My best friend Nato introduced me to one of [...]

Eyegasm #7

Bruno Dayan Guh, what’s there to say?! One of my favorite fashion photographers. Hands down. John P Dessereau Into the flow of these paintings/illustrations, cool colors too! Katharina Grosse Although her website is a graphic designer’s nightmare, her work is phenomenal. Destructive yet beautiful at the same time. Barbara Vidal I literally spent hours going [...]

Kawasaki & Dalek

Remember the very first “eyegasm” post featuring one of my favorite artists, Audrey Kawasaki? Well, tonight I was fortunate enough to attend the opening reception of her debut solo exhibition at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery. Let me tell you, it was like seeing her work again for the very first time. It has definitely evolved [...]

I just discovered a really adorable Flickr group [Flickr has definitely become my favorite social networking site] called “What I wore Today (drawings only!)” It kinda makes me wish that I was better at drawing so I could contribute, but there’s a lot of awesome people who post to the group!

Where Have You Been?!

Hey? Hi? Hello? Umm…well, turns out that I’m human after all and needed a serious break from all this blogging business. No time to dwell on the past, so I’ll just sum up the past few months in some photos and we’ll be moving forward from there :] So, hello again old [and new] friends! [...]

Million Dollar Vandal

Although I’ve always admired graffiti and street art, I’ve never really known anything about it’s history or culture. Now that I’m living in NYC again, it’s completely surrounded me. From a small, three-letter tag on the subway to a whole commissioned wall; it’s become a part of my daily life. A couple weeks ago, I [...]

Project 365

After thinking about this for the past..um, well..forever, I’ve finally decided to start my 365 day project. One photo for each day of the next year. I’m excited, I think it’s a great way to record the year, keep memories and document change. And hey, what better time to begin than now? I’m starting up [...]

Atlantis was…

Um, really boring. It was pretty and all, but at the end of the day, I guess it is just an over-priced resort on a man-made, palm-shaped island. Everything to do there required an absurd amount of money, which we eventually decided was not worth spending. Parking was £150, entrance to the aquarium was £100, [...]
