Look At This Photograph

It's been a long long while (nearly two years?!) since anything that resembles a favourites list has been uploaded so I thought that it's about time for another. You would've thought my tastes would have changed a bit since the last one but it appears I'm still riding the brightly coloured and borderline y2k vibes.


Anna Dobos


'Wetware' by Anna Dobos, 2014

Although shot fairly recently - you can tell this photo series is obviously heavily influenced by the y2k futurism aesthetic by the style of eyewear, wet look hair and highlighting and the metallic blue tones. The yellow hair wefts have me itching to go down the afro hair shop to buy myself some extensions.



UNIF Kit Dress


The new UNIF kit dresses are nothing short of a surfer babe's wet dream. Unfortunately for me the last and only package I ever ordered from them got lost in the post and never arrived so I daren't try again, fingers crossed for it making an appearance on ASOS sometime soon. Variations on the site include one in blue and another in yellow.



Carly Rae Summers' Shoot Set


Pornography isn't usually my source of inspiration but this great set with the model pink flamingos, gaudy forest backdrop and the is totally doing it for me. It's taking a lot of willpower not to spend all my money fake grass carpet to cover my bedroom floor right now.


Coco Layne


If you're bored of your mates' awful Facebook statuses of chicken nugget dinners then you'll probably feel a bit more refreshed after feasting your eyes on Coco Layne's phantasmagorical food photography. That is unless you never want to see another food pic ever again, in which case I am sorry but your friends need to learn a recipe or two.


David LaChapelle


My forever favourite <3



Von Dutch


My ultimate find on Depop was this amazing Von Dutch patchwork jacket and after haggling the price down some lucky fucker swooped in and bought it before me. Hopefully I can bag myself something similar soon before I end up getting one of those ridic trucker caps. 


Parker Day


Another case of the backdrops and bright colours. Each of Parker Day's stills are a portrait of a different eccentric character and going through their Instagram makes me want to crack out the dress up box and spend hours doing my makeup. Be sure to check out their latest foot series 'Footwear For Foot Fetishists' on Polyester.




Tayler Smith


Look at this majestic canine friend, look how happy it is, if we lived in an equally magical maybe my face would be plastered with a grin that wide too. All of their photography is an absolute treat but Tayler Smith's meticulously curated feed for Othen is worth more than all the Instagram goals combined.


MTV's LiLi


Back in the 2000s, vivacious virtual VJs and 3D rendered cyberbabes were all over everything. In a collaboration with Sony Ericsson, MTV Asia launched the interactive cybernaut LiLi at the start of the new millennium. Viewers could call in and talk to their host in real time and have her take their music video requests. Have a look at the rest of the LiLi stuff over on Behance.

Secret 7"

That  badger one in the middle is nice.
If you're a fan of pretty pictures and good music then I don't know why you haven't visited the Secret 7" exhibition. A whole bunch of artists have designed their own record sleeve and they were all on display last weekend at Mother in Shoreditch. They will all be on sale for £45 each on Record Store Day this coming Saturday.

I'm usually the sort of person who goes round a gallery saying annoying things to my friend like "that one looks like you if you were part cheesewheel" or "my dog could draw that and I don't have a dog" but I enjoyed myself so much that I barely said anything, a rare occasion indeed. Although I was jumping up and down in front of a holographic picture of a mouth for a very long time before I noticed people were giving me funny looks. 

Anyway, here are some of my favourites from the show.

Big eye pillar man with two tentacles. 
Pretty sure Hattie Stewart did this one.
Totally radical pyramid dude, like woah.
A portal to another dimension, probably.
Me and my friends on a Saturday night.
The Queen on acid.
Pretty pyramid
Computer virus trampoline.
Rex from Toy Story + a blow up sex doll head = my new favourite thing.
Holidays in space.

Jon Burgerman's Tumblr Girls

Picture of a Tumblr girl standing in front of many pictures of Tumblr girls, probably should've posted this on Tumblr for the girls.
If you're one of those people who go to the beach to ogle the ladies* but don't like the feel of sand against your skin then I've got just the thing for you. The place in question isn't actually on the shoreline - Beach London is an art space just off Brick Lane and it's currently full to the brim of Jon Burgerman's illustrations of cool womenfolk. Although only one room large, it's easily my favourite gallery in the city as the work on display is always simultaneously funny and aesthetically pleasing. 

The cat on her right shoulder really speaks to me. No honestly, he won't shut up.
The above drawing was probably my favourite, firstly due to the cats but also because her lack of bodily detail gives off spooky ghost vibes. 'Tumblr Girls' ends April 26th so you still have ages to pop in but if you're not going to be in London any time soon then luckily for you he has posted some on Tumblr itself.

*Please don't actually ogle the ladies, nobody likes that guy.
