Arabesque 2

Graphic Design from the Arab World and Persia 

Editors: Ben Wittner and Sascha Thoma

Publisher: Gestalten

To show this title off to its full potential we decided to pull up at a Mosque and use it as a back drop for this shoot.

After asking permission to wander the grounds, we managed to coax the sun into shining just enough to create the illusion of a gold cladded building to add to the already lush exterior of this book.

The book 'pops' with a vibrant cover of silver with its black and white scroll design which continues on the interior pages and with loads more glamour fixed to the spine.

The Arabesque style seems to be slightly more busy (by busy, we mean more going on) then their western counterparts. This culture's writing overlaps into their art. With 'busy' comes more work and the end result certainly projects quality artistic endeavours throughout.

What's in the Contents:

Handmade
Photo + Type
Pixel Pattern Mosaic
Editorial Design
Type Design
The 3rd Dimension

This book was an eye opener for us. There is a lot of fine work coming out of the Arab Emirates... don't ignore it, it's ace art!

Take a glance at the pages...

Flesh Cut Fridays With Luci Westphal

This relaxing beach is (yet again) not in Brooklyn, but Vilano Beach near St. Augustine in North Florida.

Florida is where I went for Thanksgiving (coming straight from that trip to Atlanta, where I shot the MLK Memorial) and this beach is where Scott and I had a few minutes of just relaxing. Actually I obviously did some filming - but in a relaxed manner.

The song is called "Butt Naked" - written and performed by my talented Florida friend Jason Matherne.

Feast your Eyes: A Holiday Photo Invitational about Food

Over the last decade, food culture in the United States has been transformed from simple meals of sustenance into an elaborate choreography of designer meals and presentations.

During the holiday season "normal" meals aren't good enough anymore. The home chef is under pressure to crank out awe-inspiring gluttonous feasts that showcase traditional family recipes while incorporating all of the hottest trends in cooking.

Our fascination with food embraces everything from celebrity chefs to 24-hour cooking channels, and reality competitions. But what does food mean to you?

We challenge you to send us your best photo of food, from raw to cooked, from preparation to presentation, and everything in between.

Artists selected for Feast your Eyes will be invited to participate in an exhibition of photography at the famed gallery and event space The Power House Arena in DUMBO (Brooklyn), starting on December 20, 2011.


Submission Deadline: December 8, 2011
