Nick Veasey

Veasey is an xray photographer. He built a $200,000 concrete building for his xray machines. After the image is taken, the film is scanned and completed by Veasey's team. I am fascinated with the variety of subjects that Veasey picks to xray.


Made from over 200 xrays, 26 of these were used for the handshaking skeletons

For this image the skeletons were added to the xray of the bus. Veasey even separately xrayed the fedora (on the man with the newspaper).

This was the one image I recognized of Veasey's work.

Shooting

Just came back from shooting today. I have a lot of images to go through from the last few days. Hopefully some of them will be usable. I will post some images soon...

Brad Woodfin

Woodfin paints animals. I do not find this to be particularly exciting, except for the fact that he has a series entitled The Holy Goat. Woodfin definitely gets points for that! Also included in the series are paintings done on antique books. The books are the most interesting part of the work, besides the title of course, adding a strange relationship between the book, the book title and the pictured goat. While looking at Woodfin's work I liked what Meighan O’Toole of Juxtapoz Magazine said about the work,

"Brad Woodfin really likes goats. At that is what we can only assume from looking at his intimate portrayals of...goats."





The way this one stares makes me nervous

Kate Hutchinson

Hutchinson has a couple of related series of photographs revolve around her relationship with her significant other. The fist series is called why am i marrying him? and consists of images that Hutchinson says documents her boyfriend's personality.

The second series is entitled model husband. Hutchinson draws from artists who used their wives as subject to add a twist to the idea of art in relationships.

Glamour Headshots and Sexy People

I found this on Yay! Everyday. Unfortunately the artist only has a flickr page, but he has a lot of fun similar pictures.

A comment on the original page said that they were reminded of the site Sexy People. Let me tell you that this site was even more fun to look through. Sexy People is an endless collection of the hottest images the Internet has to offer.

Robert Samuel Hanson

Hanson has some interesting illustration work. He takes common everyday objects and twists them into humorous representations. He has such a wide variety of work, it is really fun to go through his site.

Jeremy Novy

These are from Jeremy Novy. This reminds me of the subway gallery. I really like the inclusion of dog urine for the materials. The captions are great, I wonder if the years are true or just made up. I wish he had more images, and a better variey, dog urine seems to be in the majority of these.

Subway Art Gallery Opening

This must have been real fun! Improv Everywhere had created a gallery opening at the 23rd Street subway platform in Manhattan. They placed placards next to objects like electrical boxes and pipes, etc, and made them art. The gallery included a bar, a coat rack, and a cellist.
