Levis new “art partnership” with Sagmeister
Levis’ history of involvement in the art world has been historic to say the least, involving iconic artists such as Warhol and Shepard Fairey, and now they have their sights on graphic design genius Stefan Sagmeister and his company Sagmeister, Inc. The first bit of the work I’ve had the pleasure of studying with my eyes is this 2-part poster above, installed as a window display at the American Rag boutique in L.A. (the setting for this particular campaign).

Prater Chair by Marco Dessí
Contemporary reflection of traditional Viennese chairs as designed by Marco Dessí, consistently beautiful. Highly rigid but yet it seems such a comfort to sit on – would love to own quite few for my future household, a possible commission perhaps.

Chris Scarborough
Chris Scarborough’s illustrated work is intricately detailed but accentuated by beautiful and fluffy toning and his photography work is highly distinctive with his retouching on each.

Poses I by Red de Leon
Poses I is a reference book made by Red de Leon, a photographer based in Brooklyn, NYC. Made for photographers, models, editors, art directors, and stylists to aid in the previsualization of fashion shoots. It contains more than two hundreds images illustrating a variety of standing, laying, sitting, crawling and kneeling poses, with subtle differences in mood and gesture. By showing several variations of shot types, the book attempts to show the importance of framing and articulation of the body. The end goal is to provide the photographer and creative team with a selection of different shots that can serve as a starting point in preproduction discussions.
