If you are not familiar with Abe’s Penny, they pair artists and authors to create a small postcard series. I was so happy to work with them earlier this year.
Another new discovery for me, Deborah Hamon.
I love Juliana Beasley and her photos. Take a look at her limited edition book, Lapdancer, it is available for sale with a print on her website.
From SINGULAR BEAUTY, a haunting look inside cosmetic surgery offices, by Newsweek photo editor Cara Phillips. She’s funding her first solo photography book via public donations on Kickstarter, and is $2,500 shy of her goal with three days to go.
From Chicago based artist, Matt Siber’s Compare to… : Products
German artist Goetz Diergarten, a student of the Becher’s, has a modern approach to typology. I am especially a fan of his MERTOpolis series. His 2010 Hajte Cantz book, Photographs, is a good intro to his work.
Hank Willis Thomas is a favorite of mine. The way he incorporates social issues into his work is impressive and inspiring.
I got to know Mark Peterson’s work at my first photo related job. His body of work on the wealthy, Acts of Charity, has only grown in meaning with time.
Andrew Hetherington’s aka The Jackanory, A Room with a View, can be ordered on Blurb. Best looked at with a pint by your side.
From Johannes Romppanen’s Emil stor pojke, Emil kan hoppa (Emil big boy, Emil can jump), 2010
Don’t get me started on photo projects about Detroit, however here is one of the few artists whose work on the subject I respect - Dave Jordano.
