The photographs of Poland born Jan Cieslikiewicz got me by surprise when I saw a monkey in one of his pictures. Then I discovered that this guy has one sick portfolio of travel images. Maybe travel photography isn’t the right word, I think he’s uses traveling as a mere instrument to shoot his pictures. Most of my recent posts have been about people who set out to explore the world. I find it rather fascinating to read about the people that…Read More »
For most people Cuba is just one vintage postcard with old cars, old people and old buildings. Everything is old and on the verge of breaking down. But in reality that is just the facade (or the lack of in a way). London based photographer Mike Heath captured Cuba in a way I’ve never seen before. He makes it feel so damn crispy and clean! This is very high quality travel photography and a huge inspiration for me personally! “Arriving in Cuba…Read More »
Rezine is a ‘graffiti’ artist from Lyon, France. I say ‘graffiti’ because Rezine does a lot more than just Graffiti. You could describe his work as post-graffiti, or work that has derived from the French graffiti movement in the 90′s. Rezine isn’t afraid for any kind of medium; wall, paper, canvas, recycling art, volume, installations light painting photography or a combination of multiple techniques. In 2007 Rezine realised the book ‘lightgraff (edition Graff-it productions). Right now Rezine’s working on a brand new book which…Read More »
Street art sculptor Isaac Cordal continues to impress us with his Cement Eclipse series! The little cement sculptures he places in cities around the world always convey the right emotion. The latest cement eclipses update comes from the home of Isaac Cordal: the Galicia area in the North-West of Spain. In Pontevedra, Galicia there’s a big pulp mill which has been polluting the area and transforming the landscape into something hideous since 1957. Isaac’s cement eclipses don’t seem to be…Read More »
There are great things happening in Brazil! Our good friend Gui Chirst (interview here) will have a major exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, based on stunning series ‘Hoje é dia de folia’. If this sounds familiar to you, you might be right! In 2010 we did an exhibition in Amsterdam called ‘CFYE at the Wise Men Revelry’ based on the same series from Gui. Now it’s time for Rio…Read More »
We’ve received another great photography submission, this time from Pascal Felloneau. Pascal has been shooting a surprising series about the capital of Iceland: Reykjavik. These pictures show you a day to day life (and color coordination) that’s way more than packs of snow. About Pascal: Pascal Felloneeau is a Parisian, self-thaught photographer picked up a camera at the age of 16 and started shooting again when living in Iceland, 2003. Since then Pascal started to sell images to magazines on a regular basis. In…Read More »
Tags are important for graffiti. Ask a graffiti artist what the first thing he put up was, and it most likely be a tag with a shit Edison marker somewhere. Tags are a form of typography and the artists are highly specialised in the specific letters of their name. For most it takes years to create interesting hand styles. Yet tags are mostly just seen as acts of vandalism, even by the most open-minded art lovers.
So how do you show the beauty of tags?…Read More »

Like most people working in advertising though, he eventually got tired of doing things in taste of the client. In 2010…Read More »
Wherever there are waves, there are surfers. Wherever there are surfers, there’s that blonde dreadlock’d middle-aged dude that still has the body of a young god. And what a surprise, he’s also there in the beautiful on-going photo-serie of the surfer’s journey by Australian based Jonathan van der Knaap. Jonathan hails from Adelaide, Australia. Indeed, van der Knaap is a Dutch name as his father’s side of the family was from our little country. Since no-one but the Dutch can pronounce the name, Jonathan…Read More »
Meet John Kilar, photographer based in Venice, California. From the few questions I asked John I got the idea John is not a man of many words. Not that talking is a necessity in any way, as his intense photography is loud enough. Amazing portraits of life, the beaches and vanilla skies of the ‘golden state’, hippie festivals; it’s all documented in John’s travels and adventures. John: “Nature is my biggest inspiration and it never ceases to baffle me. Photography helps me remember the…Read More »
