I am currently working on a secret fashion project for next summer and while looking around for inspiration, I looked at some breathtaking Guy Bourdin Photographs.

It reminded me how much I love that man’s work. These are so modern and sensuous as well as extremely playful and cheeky. It makes me want to draw each and everyone of them…Enjoy!

I just discovered this very sexy alphabet illustrations by London based artist Jo Ratcliffe. Cheeky, playful and very hot! **Disclaimer that this is a bit forward art… but it’s worth the view!

Jo studied Fine Art at Central Saint Martins School of Art and she has worked for f British Vogue and internationally for publications such as The New York Times, Dazed and Confused, Wallpaper, Another Magazine, Uniqlo Paper and Vogue Nippon.

While digging out my favorite images, I also found these really interesting photographic experiments. I love the abstract quality of those.

I love a simple brilliant idea. And Mr Bingo’s Hate Mail project is just one of them : Bingo, as he calls himself suddently decided about a year ago to start sending abusive postcards to anyone who wished to receive a bit of hate. It seemed popular and Bingo has now sent over 400 of those offensive yet very funny postcards. Each poscard features a lovely hand-drawn insult for you to enjoy.

And after a year and a bit of insulting the whole of the uk and probably most of the world, he just turned his favorite 100 postcards into a book published by Penguin Books and here are some one my favorite ones :

The launch night was all about hate down to the Camden beer bottles ; ) Brilliant.

The book is now on sale and I made sure to get myself 2 copies. Great birthday present for my loved ones. Grab one quick they are selling like cupcakes…
