juul kraijer

not shy about juxtaposing a portrait and a creature in her photography juul kraijer is equally at home with charcoal and pencil

masahisa fukase

we like a corvid in our house so it's lovely to see a reissue for masahisa fukase's notoriously hard to get a hold of ravens

desiree dolron

after yesterday here's the luminous portraiture of desiree dolron.

suitcase joe

hte flipside of the dream of capitalism - suitcase joe's pictures don't pull any punches

mexrrissey

more dracula

i'm trying not to have bits lifted off an out cd on these things but i did like that last them sufficiently. if you've got a bit of time get the kettle on, sit down and luxuriate in this

nouvelle vague

ellen kooi

i love the andrew wyeth vibe in this. there's a lot of texture and individualism at work in ellen kooi - makes me want to spend more time looking at her work

pentti sammallahti

there's lots to like about pentto sammallahti's work but i find myself beguiled by his winter scenes

emmy andriesse

i guess emmy andriesse is possibly better known for portraiture but i love the serenity of this piece, in contrast maybe to the tumult of her life.

jimi hendrix

fan ho

i was lucky enough to be in hong kong when its old incarnation was giving up its last breath. fan ho captures a time and place now vanished. sublime

nico

brown sabbath

constantin mashinskiy

365 parisians - you'd think this sort of thing had been done to death but constantin mashinkiy keeps it simple and makes it breathe

aisha zeijpveld

it's easy to see more than a hint of fashion photography with aisha zeijpveld but looking beyond that, when she starts in about stretching her media, she really steps it up

solange

jorge mayet

not a wealth of info on jorge mayet but making trees out of wire and paper? that's always going to go down well with me

azuma makoto

apparently azuma makoto made this to teach his five year old about science. sublime

comet music

comet noise, inks - what's not to like? background here

the caledonian way

everybody has their reasons for being on the bike. these are lee craigie's.

medical wound man

public domain review scores again with medical wound man. it's amazing to think that he survives today in various guises in hospital.

more helen downie

not what i'd usually look at? maybe not but i love boldness of colour. you can feast upon more at helen downie's website

helen downie

which encompasses - it's never too late, yes you can, and why not....

i'm loving hger collection of inks also

a history of sound art

possibly not the most engaging format and, as seems to be the way with these things, terrible sound! but interesting nonetheless.

the field recordist

a rather lovely wee doco

phenomena over and under the earth

i am dazzled by these illustrations by josef gabriel frey of atmospheric phenomena. see the public domain review for details
