Travis Hodges has done an intriguing project here... He picked one of his favourite twitter friends and photographed them then they picked their favourite twitter friend and he photographed them and so on and so on... It's a fascinating visual thread of a group of virtually-connected friends.  Each caption is Travis's brief description of each person. Check it out on his site http://www.travishodges.co.uk/followme/

Nostalgic Food







Nigel Slater wrote a great book called Eating for England which is a sort of culinary portrait of the nation.  In it he describes the various foodstuffs he used to eat as a kid and the memories they invoke.  It's a shame that he didn't commission Joel Penkman to do some paintings for the book.  She uses egg tempura to paint with which means its not a quick process but the results speak for themselves.  Orange Club anyone? http://www.handsomefrank.com/illustrators/joel-penkman/

Colourtastic!






Don't know where Jessica Backhaus was when she found these wonderful brightly painted walls saturated in sunlight, but I want to go there.  Somewhere very hot, no doubt. She calls this series her symphony of shadows.  Simple and beautiful!  http://www.jessicabackhaus.net/symphony_of_shadows/images10.htm

Street collage





Been away for a few weeks so it's the first post in a while.  Came across Sandrine Estrade Boulet's work today whilst doing some research and it made me smile...  Just goes to show that other people's detritus can be turned into someone else's treasure...   http://www.lebookmaker.com/artist/4/sandrine-estrade-boulet/portfolio/?image=969
