Anthony Kurtz recently sent me an update including imagery for his upcoming show at the W Hotel in San Francisco. This new body of work is a collection of photos he took while on a trip in India.

Says Melbourne-based photographer Morganna Magee on her latest series: ‘Tyler is a 5 year-old who had cancer in both of his eyes and now has glass eyes. He is the happiest little kid ever, and he and his family have managed to live a fairly normal life since he lost his last eye late 2006. I’ve been taking shots of him for a while, trying to get a full series showing what his daily life is like’. She’ll be having a show later in the year to raise some money for the guide dogs.

Ok, some random news and observations about this thriving, jiving metropolis that is New York City. 1. There are that many tattoos around Williamsburg, Brooklyn that I reckon I’m making more of a statement by not having one! Seriously.

San Francisco-based illustrator Luke Feldman has just had his first children’s book published, Chaff n’ Skaffs: Mai and the Lost Moskivvy, a collaboration with writer Amanda Chin.

When a lost mosquito interrupts Mai’s sleep, her friend Chaff suggests they escort Moskivvy back home to a faraway land. So begins a courageous girl’s voyage into a fantastic world’, all communicated beautifully through Feldman’s colorful, dynamic and considered illustrations. Read more
