Modern Dystopia
I was in the photographic gallery just next to my house today looking for a book about abandoned architecture, something that's fascinated me for a while now, and after a good half hour came away unfruitful, probably the flu making me feel slightly queasy wasn't helping, despite finding a good book by Edward Burtynsky.
So I returned home to turn on the 'puter and find out about this guy, Brian Ulrich.
I can recommend looking at all his portfolio but the set that did it for me was Dark Stores.
Run go see.

Absolutely loving these simple graphics by Simon C Page.
Time to get the plastic out and get these in my collection...

Christoph Niemann
Here's a guy whose artwork and social commentary you should really check out.
Mixing a great sense of wit with some very abstract concepts its no real wonder he writes a blog for the New York Times.

Visvim “A Cycle of Craftsmanship” film by Young Kim
Its only so long I can go without mentioning Visvim. And seen as I haven't posted on hear in a while its only fair that I get stuck in with some news form the F.I.L. camp.
In the search for a new shop in Kyoto, Hiroki Nakamura, head honcho of Visvim, came across a doll shop which had closed down after seeing generations of family ownership. Whilst not his usual style of shop there was some very tangible history to the store and a story that rang very true with the ethics of his own brand which helped in the decision to go with the store.
Rather than gut the store and strip it back to its basic elements, Hiroki decided to keep all fixtures and fittings, and even some of the old stock as a reminder of the history of the place.
To celebrate the opening of the store Young Kim has created a video for Visvim called 'The Cycle of Craftsmanship' which can be found at all F.I.L locations and a handful of select Visvim accounts...
Hopefully my copy should be here any time now...
