Amazing portrait photography by Madame Yevonde
Madame Yevonde was an eccentric female photographer in the early 20th century. Her works appeared in fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. She shot many famous stars and society celebrities in her time.
One of my favourite photography series of hers is ‘the godesses’ collection, where society ladies from back in the day were dressed in classical costumes impersonating Greek and Roman godesses. ‘Be original or die’ was her motto. She was a truly creative spirit and a role model for modern female artists.

Brilliant one line drawing series by Eemz
Eemz is an illustrator and mixed-media artist from Cairo. She has recently come up with a one line drawing series that I find quite adorable. Lots of her motifs look like minimalist doodling interpretations of characters from the Arabian Nights or the Pharaonic period. I would really love to see these turned into t shirt motifs or printed on postcards, so I can send them around to my friends. Read more
