    Today Helen McLean and I met up to take some photos at her place. That was until we had a streak of craziness and decided to uproot the whole shoot and head into the city. You certainly get some strange looks when you lug around a red armchair on a saturday afternoon amidst hundreds of city goers. Anyway, Helen is slowly getting through all the post production and as each shot goes up I’ll add it to this entry rather than clogging everyone’s activity monitors. Until I get the files via CD later this week, I’m just posting the low res versions. I Heart Collaborations! Enjoy! / 50s Mannequin / Candy Man / Rockabilly Diner Baby / Wish You Were Here / Dine In Or Take Away

    I recently had the pleasure of working with a ridiculously fun model, Nicole, on a retro pin up shoot. It’s funny how some shoots I walk away from shaking my head and praying for some decent results, and then others I freak out of the way home about how much space it’s going to eat up on my hard drive. This shoot falls into the latter category. Nicole was so easy to work with and everyone involved was relaxed and up for a laugh. We were working outside after some heavy rain which ruled out many of the ‘usual’ pin up poses which require getting down on the ground, but the energy of the shoot was such fun we hardly noticed the restriction. It’s been a while since I’ve shot anything in this genre, but there is something about the ridiculousness and humor of it which I really genuinely love. Here are a few more images from the shoot: There’s a handful more over here if you’re interested.

    Retro Futurism refers to depictions of the future produced in the past. Inspired by the surge in new technology after the Second World War, artists, science fiction writers, film makers and other visionaries predicted what our space age future would be like. Robot maids, space vehicles, rocket packs, ray guns and flying cars were all predicted to be a part of life by the year 2000. Everything from architecture and fashion to transport and tourism has had the retro futuristic treatment. Here are just a few images to inspire: Retro Futurism Artworks by Klaus Bürgle Retro future Illustrations featured on the ColourLovers blog Meet George Jetson … Jet and rocket packs.

    Check out these amazing robot models from Japanese 3D artist Kazushi Kobayashi. They’re described as something from “a parallel 50s where the robots are the most popular transport system”. Apparently you can buy the kits to build your own, but only if you live in Japan. They have so much personality … If I was in the market for a robot I’d definitely invite Chubu 01 to come and live at my house. More info here.

  • history patchwork and brown paper
    by Karin Taylor

    PATCHWORK HISTORY / !http://images-0.redbubble.net/img/clothing/backgroundcolor:fafafa/bodycolor:brown/size:large/style:womens/view:prev…

    PATCHWORK HISTORY / / Patchwork Elephant I have a real fascination for/with stitchery and after getting a whole dose of it through a good friend, my work started to take on more of that stitched and bound look… as you see about in Patchwork Elephant but i’ve had the fetish for as long as i can remember…probably because my mum is a super sewer and the sound of the sewing machine or watching her thread a needle are impressed deep in my psych Patchwork Quilting goes back many years. Examples of quilting have been found in tombs of Pharohs dating back to 3400BC. Joseph’s coat of many colors was probably patchwork. Even armour was made by quilting heavy fabrics together. Quilted bed covers were recorded in household inventories from the 17th century. Patchwork quilting has even evolved into an art form known as art quilts. The Amish have developed the quilting traditions of other immigrants into America, into their own style. / excerpt taken from Ezine articles Thank you to the buyer of this tshirt this morning, I really appreciate it… ..... + HISTORY KRAFT BROWN PAPER+ / / Smile Baby – Retro Tee This tee (Smile Baby) is great for photographers and camera lovers of all ages, began as a marker pen drawing on a huge piece of Kraft Brown Paper torn from a large role I’d purchased for the purpose of wrapping and sending original artworks through the post (after they’d been appropriately packaged in bubblewrap then cardboard, but i found that i had excess brown paper, and one day, while waiting for my computer to wake up, got bored, grabbed the paper and started experimenting. I played around with the paint drips and making butterflies and crowns and dresses by folding the paper in half…..but eventually just started drawing quite quickly without much though, and began a whole range of new characters all drawn onto brown paper, I made them into a couple of calendars, and they are all available here on redbubble in card/print/calendar or many of them as tshirts also. Thank you to the buyer of Smile Baby – Retro Tee your purchase is greatly appreciated by the artist Here’s the Brown Paper Creations 2010 Calendar and you can see where the brown paper is left to show through, i’ve also used white gesso in large brush strokes across their faces and bodies and a combo of pastels and ink to achieve the outcome Here’s the Children of the World brown paper girl calendar for 2010 – all the images on the back are available separately also / Kraft paper is paper produced by the kraft process from wood pulp. It is strong and relatively coarse. Kraft paper is usually a brown colour but can be bleached to produce white paper. It is used for paper grocery bags, multiwall sacks, envelopes and other packaging / excerpt from* Wiki / The kraft process was developed by Carl F. Dahl in 1879, and a pulp mill using this technology started (in Sweden) in 1890.[2] The invention of the recovery boiler by G.H. Tomlinson in the early 1930s, was a milestone in the advancement of the kraft process.[3] It enabled the recovery and reuse of the inorganic pulping chemicals such that a kraft mill is a nearly closed-cycle with respect to inorganic chemicals, apart from those used in the bleaching process. For this reason, in the 1940s, the kraft process surpassed the sulfite process as the dominant method for producing wood pulp.[2] / excerpt from Wiki Last, but not least, here’s the Love is a Big Hug 2010 calendar, which has a selection of brown paper creations with a mix of other sweet loving artworks for girls of all ages
