Lillian Bassman
PHOTOGRAPHY Lillan Bassman’s fashion photography is absolutely stunning. Other favorites are Robert Frank and Louis Faurer.
Smalltown

David Hockney
ART Big fan of David Hockney’s new work.
Deanna Halsall

Ai Wei Wei never sorry
FILMS Really interesting documentary about Chinese artist, Ai Wei Wei. I’m definitely putting this on my to watch list.
Vittra School
FINDINGS Came across these images of a new school in Stockholm. Even though it’s beautifully designed, I feel like there’s a lack of youthfulness. It feels a lot like tech company think tanks.
New JCPenney
FINDINGS I’m not sure if this is the exact mock up of future JCPenney stores but I sure hope it isn’t. Something about that logo is reminiscent of the failed GAP logo revamp.
