Kristin Scott Thomas as you've never seen her before...




Love the random array of characters portrayed here in these shots that Max Farago did of Kristin Scott Thomas in the last issue of Double magazine...  French pop legend Johnny Halliday, Amy Winehouse, la bourgoise typique and I guess the French equivalent of an Essex girl.  See more here: http://totalworld.us/artists/galleryportfolios/Photographer/Max+Farago

Amazing continuous line drawing...


These drawings are awe-inspiring...  Would be lovely to see the line brought to life in animation. Rachel Ann Lindsay is the lady responsible.

Brick Lane life

Tilly aka Running for Crayons loves people watching, getting a new sketchbook and pen shopping.  I can't resist anything London-inspired and I love the characters the artist has included in this charming imaginary snapshot of Brick Lane life. http://www.runningforcrayons.co.uk

Childhood dreams





 Joanna Paterson is another new and absurdly talented photographer whose work Jacq at Black Dog showed me the other day.  I love this series exploring children's dreams and nightmares.  She has also done the most beautiful series of still life objects in watery dank basements.

Chignons





First post in a while... it's been a busy time lately.  I resolve to do this much more frequently....  Met up with Audrey from Total over from Paris today and amongst other gems, she showed me the latest artist to join their roster, Zoe Ghertner.  She's a young photographer but so accomplished.  Her still life work is reminiscent of Man Ray whilst I just love this story of hair knots she did with fab hairdresser Peter Gray for the new Gentlewoman magazine in the summer.... http://www.zoeghertner.com

Beautiful brickwork




Frank Laws makes the banal beautiful.  His paintings celebrate the care and workmanship that went into these 1950's social housing blocks in London borne out of his experience as a bricklayer's mate.
He has an exhibition coming up soon with more to show: http://www.franklaws.com
