Inspiration Elswhere

I can't stop looking at Kristina's (AKA the super talented Kris Atomic) Iceland photos. I get such a peacful vibe just by looking at the steamy water and the snow.





I think those photos of the enigmatic Tilda Swinton are some of her best ever. There is something so appropriate in the way they were taken - the frozen surrounding and the alien-like fashion styling - make me believe she felt very comfortable in this shooting.
Photographed by Tom Walker for August 2011 W Magazine, in Iceland (again! There is something so captivating in this place isn't it?)


More photos from the editorial and the full interview with Ms. Swinton here.

Toby Ng's World off 100 is a smart series of 20 intriguing posters that offer a sharp analysis of our world, if the world was a village of 100 people, by showing the statistics about the spread of population under various classifications. Each poster made me stop and question - could it really be? Is this is the world we live in?

Fauxgo.com is a new (tumblr)blog that archives fictional/fake logos that exist only in films. Brilliant! I'm looking forward to see more of those (and will sure pay more attention to the likes while watching movies!)

I'm kind of obsessed with Mathieu Hubert's flickr photostream. This is one of my faves.




I'm always enjoying Miss Moss fashion finds and her beautiful collages. This new idea Diana's playing with is simply gorgeous.

Matt Lyon is committed to create one fantastic drawing a day during 2011. I love his works. His latest is as great as always and his writing makes it very suitable for my day today - "Don't let the basterds grind you down". Ha!

Am currently reading way too many study notes and trying to also read 'The Good Doctor' by Carola Graham - its not grabbing me & its my second attempt, am thinking I should just give it up!! How about you, what are you reading at the moment?? Hugs to you, TK xx

  4. I'm so glad I bookmarked this post to come back to. Those first couple of images, you're right.. so peaceful and beautiful. And those posters! Thank you for sharing, I remember reading a forward email about if there were 100 people in the world, but it'd been going around for years and I wondered what an updated one would say. There's still so much this world needs to do.
