DJ Chris Holmes Has Invented "Anti-Paparazzi" Clothes

If you're anything like us, you'll know how annoying it is to be constantly hounded by paparazzi wherever you go. Just as well then that Chris Holmes - the DJ who opens for Paul McCartney on his tours - has created an "anti-paparazzi" clothing collection.

Now you can draw with emojis. My daughter’s head will explode when I show her this later tonight.

C'est le premier illustrateur avec qui j'ai travaillé, à Hara-Kiri quand j'étais un tout jeune maquettiste… Je suis effondré.
Adieu monsieur, ça a été un honneur et un plaisir de te connaître et de travailler avec toi.

Natural Stained Glass Windows: Bing Wright’s Captivating Images Of Sunsets In Mirrors
New York artist Bing Wright has a clever way of creating something simple and visually striking. For his latest series Broken Mirror/Evening Skies, he has photographed various sunset scenes in shattered mirrors, resulting in beautiful, understated images akin to stained glass windows. The images are full of calming blues, glowing yellows, haunting greys and ferocious reds. In this way Wright really is a photographer painting with light.
While more abstract than some of his earlier works, the composition carries a narrative that enables the viewer to collectively experience the beauty of the sunsets the artist has captured, while facilitating an individual interpretation of the emotion they imbue. We are presented with pictorial images, fragmented and in disrepair – a reminder that everything beautiful is flawed and imperfect. Bing’s signature large format lends these images symmetry and exact composition, giving them a majestic quality. (Source)
Fascinated with the subtlety of changing weather patterns, landscapes and seasons, Wright is known for his poetic photographic series. His past work includes Greyscapes (very bleak, but not bland, views of nature’s tones of grey), Wet Glass (a close up series of droplets and drips on panes of glass), and Windows (a series that narrates the passing of time through the same one window).
Wright has gravitated slowly toward an aesthetic based around reflections, mirrors, silver tones, and foil. He has photographed silver bits on mirrors, mirrors on mirrors, and now simply has captured his surroundings in mirrors. But don’t let the simplicity undersell the elegance of this sunset series. The combination of a violently broken mirror and the tranquility reflected in the shards, has a surprisingly enchanting effect. The charm of these works lie in the juxtaposition between these two worlds.

Hudson Christie
It really wouldn’t be fair to simply refer to Hudson Christie as an illustrator. The award-winning Toronto-based artist creates his works by building fantastic little sculptures (which sometimes become funny little animations as well). Apologies for the dancing wiener but it’s too good to not be the first image. More work below.
