R J Shaughnessy - Photographer

I live in the middle of England, we don't get much sun, if you happen to find a girl with her boobs out on a car it is likely she has just stumbled out of Yates and there is no chance Josh Beech is gonna randomly rock up (apart from that time he DID-true story) so here is some escapism for the winter months from LA photographer R J Shaughnessy.

Cosmic Animated Gifs From Ignacio Torres

Texan photographer Ignacio Torres  now lives in New York city. His work explores youth, identity and scientific theories through the use of photography, animated gifs and video. His most recent work 'Stellar' is based around the idea that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death.

These pictures are not digitally enhanced, instead Ignacio used dust and reflective confetti to create the impression of celestial galaxies.

DKNG - Design

I always get worried when I am producing my own design work that I am doing it wrong, taking influences from the wrong sources or overcomplicating the process. So when I found these videos from Los Angeles based design studio DKNG (it makes me sick too, where is my Los Angeles based design studio?) I was so pleased that I was actually designing pretty normally and although everyone has different processes it is always interesting to see how others work.

DKNG focus on the music and entertainment industries so their body of work is pretty amazing, have a look!

Erin Hanson - Photographic Artist

I really need artist and photographer Erin Hanson to nip round to mine and put up a big message saying 'WRITE YOUR BLOG' (I could also do with the GET UP one too and the BE ON TIME one and...basically just all of them)

Erin initially began taking photos to avoid laziness, but then it turned out she was really good at it. Check out more here.
