While reading the blog NextNature, I was miffed to see that designer Femke de Vries made a design statement by creating a bag made of leather that appears to be the typical plastic bag. A quote from the statement on the site reads: “The most anonymous, brand less, recognizable ‘throw away’ bags made in leather [...]
Absolutely in love with the photographs of Maleonn, especially his Postman series.
Portraits of people by Jon Huck featuring their chosen breakfasts (I highly recommend checking out the entire series). The other project on his site, Couples looks great too.

more webby stuff = my strategy to post much more frequently.
The artwork of Midori is simple but eloquent. Detailed drawing, subtle watercolour tonalities, and the dramatic use of black and white. Check out more in her extensive gallery.

Hendrik Kerstens‘ series the Paula Pictures, takes his daughter as the photographic subject. I see many influences here, and find the relationship between father/photographer and daughter/subject to be a fascinating one. I wonder about the story behind each portrait - how it was set up, what she was thinking in that moment, whether [...]
