Inspired by the beauty and tragedy of fairy tales and myths, Polish photographer Laura Makabresku creates images that are beautiful, thought-provoking and, more often than not, disturbing. “My [photographs] are like screenshots from beautiful but cruel fairy tales. Their narrations are not straight. Images that appear are more like feelings that come during a lecture of an… Continue reading Laura Makabresku
I've featured the work of inspiring artist Bill Crisafi before, but I happened upon his wonderfully creepy and deeply atmospheric art again the other day, and felt the need to share some of his newer works.
Blackened is an Etsy store providing unique, hand-painted black metal inspired art. Owner and creator Silvia G uses wood, canvas, marble dust, plaster cast, paper, and everything that her mind dictates. I'm particularly taken with her paintings on wood.

My favourite pieces from Gareth Pugh's 2015/16 Fall Collection.
I'm rarely seen without my rucksack. If I leave the house without it I tend to feel naked. People regularly ask why the hell I bother...and I list everything of importance that's in there: notebook, pens, reading material, water...my spiel usually quietens them down. However, I'm rarely able to find rucksacks I like in 'the… Continue reading Dressing Darkly This Summer : The Best Rucksacks
