Photo Bliss 22

Photo Bliss 22

Forgive me. It has been a while since the last Tumblr Photo Bliss set but I’m pleased to have a new one online. The Tumblr Photo Bliss is a selection of great photos which I posted or reblogged on my own Cloud Cuckoo Tumblr.

Feel free to hook up and follow if you are on Tumblr as well. I’ll treat you with daily fresh photos on your Tumblr dashboard.

Ok, here’s the 22nd set and from now on I’ll try to post a Photo Bliss at least once in every two weeks.

 



S-Magazine iPad app

S-Magazine iPad app

Leica Camera released a new iPad app named S-Magazine, is a new platform for professional photographers to freely publish their latest pictures. The S-Magazine presents current ad campaigns and editorial photo series from international photographers.

Beyond that, the S-Magazine reflects current trends in modern commercial photography – from fashion and beauty to interior design and still lifes. This essential guide for professional photographers and a great source of inspiration for me is available through iTunes. But first I have to get my hands on the next iPad to enjoy these nice publications.



Haroshi skate art

Haroshi skate art

What to do withall those broken skate decks? You might want to give them to Japanese artist Haroshi because he creates truly stunning art by solely using these skateboard decks.

HUF and DLX invited Haroshi to set up an art show related to skateboarding. Haroshi responded with amazing pieces representing stories behind some of his favorite skaters.

His creations are born through styles such as wooden mosaic, dots, and pixels; where each element, either cut out in different shapes or kept in their original form, are connected in different styles, and shaven into the form of the final art piece.

See his work and a video in the full post.

 



Money Green Leather Sofa

Money Green Leather Sofa

I got the book The Selby is in Your Place and spotted the coolest sofa. The sofa features the complete Biggie Smalls’ Juicy lyrics written down all over it. So dope!

The book has some of the best outtakes from the digital The Selby website. Great read, great source of inspiration.

The sofa was shot by Todd Selby in Neistat Brothers’ place.



Achielle Sam

Achielle Sam

Len told me about this bike a friend of her has. Turned out it was a minimal fixie like bike by Achielle.

Achielle is a Belgium producer of no nonsense vintage and nostalgic bicycles. I personally very much like the Sam model all stripped down to the minimum. very nice! Inspired by the track (pathracer model from the 30′s), ready for the city. It comes in a Naked or Deluxe version and has a Sturmey Archer 2-speed gear.

Over the last couple of months I’m leaning more and more towards a new bike. I’ll have this one on my short list for now.

 



Freunde von Freunden book

Freunde von Freunden book

Freunde von Freunden recently released their selfentitled book called Freunde von Freunden. The book has lots of inspiring photos and captures the lives of creative people from around Berlin.

Freunde von Freunden (FvF) is an international interview magazine, that portraits people of diverse creative and cultural backgrounds in their homes or within their daily working environments.

As a sucker for nice photography and good stories from nice people I totally appreciate this book release. It makes a perfect gift for the holiday season. Speaking of… I hope Santa gets me a copy.

 



A lot of dots

A lot of dots

This sounds insane. 3.2 million dots to create just one image, wow!

Miguel Endara made a portrait called ‘Hero’ of his father of 3.2 million little tiny dots of ink. He used just one Sakura Pigma Micron pen and took him 210 hours spread out over a year to complete the outstanding image.

With that much ink dots you can figure it has such great detail. And a mather of fact, it has. It’s an amazing work of art. His dedeication really pulled of. Bravo Miquel!

Camera nightlights

Camera nightlights

Flickr user jayfish converts few old cameras from the 50′s & 60′s into these dope nightlights.

He doesn’t modify the cameras if they are in prisitine condition or if they’re rare. He prefers them to stay usable as cameras in those cases. The ones he does convert are lightweight plastic, produced in huge numbers and easily found for sale at flea markets/ garage sales/ ebay.

Awesomely done. Go see.

 



LESSCUAP

LESSCUAP

Sergei Sviatchenko is an artist born in the Ukraine and living in Denmark. He caught my eye with his LESSCUAP artwork series.

The art work is based on his CUAP fashion photography and were created with the purpose of taking the attention of the spectator away from the elements which are commercial objects and into the direction of abstract composition. He wanted to interrupt the normal line of thinking: “suit-tie-shirt” and instead of this use another line of thinking: “suit-tie-what is that?”.

Go see.

 



Dave Murray

Dave Murray

Dave Murray is an illustrator and designer, currently based in Toronto, Canada.

I’ve been seeing Dave’s work quite a lot over time and it’s about time to post something about it myself.

Love his work! Go see.

 



Need Supply F/W Video

Need Supply F/W Video

I’m a big fan of Need Supply and love the way they communicate and present their products. I would place a lot orders if it wasn’t for the extra costs (shipping, customs, tax) that comes with every order since I live outside the US (the Netherlands that is). Yet I’m a recurring vistor to the site for the blog, photos and other treats.

A good example is the Autumn Winter 2011 video. This truly is a way of adding value to the user experience. Looking forward to the Sping Summer one.

Go see.

 



Paper Donut

Paper Donut

Paper Donut is a french collective founded in September 2009. Directed by Alexis Facca it’s results from work of many hands: Justine Ricaud, Fanette Guilloud, Benoît Brulbault have already given their time to the collective.

The concept of this collective is based on geometrical paper volumes and space scenography. Have a look at a couple very nicely executed projects such as the 3D triangle representation in 2D on differents walls.

Visit Paper Donut for the stories behind them.
