LOOKING
Flora Borsi is a Hungarian artist who I’ve followed for a while. I love her self-portrait photography. So surreal and clean. Ants for eyelashes <3
Banksy Bob Ross made me smile - and reminded me of the Mountain Dew ad (which I love)
Insane drone shot film of a bowling alley by JayByrdFilms
“Beyond Noh” by Patrick Smith Very cool short that flicks through thousands of masks to the beat of a drum.
Cosmo Illustration – Illustrations with humour; my favourite kind. Comic-like in design – eyecatching and just lovely. Lots of very cool album covers. A new girl crush is born.
Also this chick! Helena Hauss creates incredible illustrations with ballpoint pens. Also French (as is Cosmo, and my ultimate favourite Carine Brancowitz) there’s something in the water in Paris and I want to drink it.
