Kourtney Roy

Kourtney Roy's images seduced me at first glance. They are the photographic forms of everything I want my illustrations to be. I'm all for these patterns and vibrant colour combinations. Roy's photographic talents are put to great use in a tantalising fashion spread in issue1 of Soup Magazine. Get hold of this now at Artwords.

Givenchy Haute Couture

I've been left feeling a little romantic at the sight of these Riccardo Tisci creations. 'Hauntingly beautiful' is completely overused but hey, feeling lazy. Dazed and Confused have done a feature on the man and his collection for Givenchy A/W10. The exquisite detail and masterful combination of textures make these frocks everso sexy. All I need is an occasion to sport it. Pub anyone?

New work from Gregory Crewdson

Gregory Crewdson takes a more subtle approach in his new series of black and white photos. All the black and white photographs in 'Sanctuary' are taken in Cinecetta film studios in Italy (this is Crewdon's first project outside the US). These photos capture something other than jaw-dropping moments in Hollywood films, as with Twilight, and look in great detail at this false and confusing landscape. I love the continuation of the cinematic theme throughout his work, projected in a different way. I have a feeling that this book is going to fly like a hot cake.
