Real insect carcasses merged with mechanical pieces to create innovative sculpture.
Haven't been this impressed with contemporary art since the first time I watched Baraka.

lasse damgaard.

I just wanted to feature the work of my good friend from Denmark - Lasse Damgaard.. Who could quite possibly be one of the the most skilled and intriguing young photographers I've met to date.
Technically sound, creatively genius, and endlessly adventurous, the perfect cocktail for a great photographer.
Check out his stuff here.
Always a huge inspiration.

New Photos - 35mm film.
The first is a double exposure.

My beauuuutiful Swedish friend Sessa.
She needs to be a model, but for now I'll keep her all for myself - the selfish photographer that I am!

danny roberts emanates brilliance.

I wouldn't be able to sing his praises enough if I tried. Danny Roberts of 'Igor + Andre' is an incredible artist who never ceases to amaze me. This video he recently created is fabulous beyond words.

raimilla.

I've been following Lady Orlando's work for quite some time now and she's the one fine artist that always takes my breath away. I love her style, use of color and often times bizarre subject matter. Check out more of her stuff here.

I did a series of designer shoe marker drawings during my time as a starving artist in Dublin last spring. I would have gotten a 'real' job, but for fear of being deported [again] I just stayed home/layed in the grass at Trinity and drew shoes while whilst drinking 45 cups of Barry's Tea an hour. Yes I was deported from Ireland.. and then went back. Good times. I also did a Marc Jacobs salmon patent leather flat piece, but I can't seem to find the scan on my mac, if I find it I'll put it up yoooo. I may start doing a few more, I've been feeling creative and have been seeing so many gorgeous shoes recently that could look sexy on paper. Being that I can't actually afford to BUY any of them due to impulsively deciding to buy plane tickets to Iceland/Sweden with some friends for August, I may just draw them instead. So, anytime I feel an impulse to pick up my debit card I'm going to reach for a pencil instead. This is healthy, why did I only think of this now?

I actually did finally buy some awesome black sandals and a dusty lilac bikini I've been coveting for some time now so I'll post photos up in the next few days.
