John Stezaker



A couple of weeks ago I visited the John Stezaker exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery. Being a big fan of collage art, I was excited to see these for real. It was indeed a treat to see such striking images most of which are achieved with a simple cut, fold, or juxtaposition. Very refreshing to see amongst our photoshop-world. Sadly, the exhibition finished a few days ago, but do look into his work!

Craft by guys


GRAIN & GRAM: The New Gentlemans Journal
has some truly beautiful photography and page layout. The few craftsmen they have interviewed so far definitely fit a certain aesthetic but you can't deny what they are doing and making and producing has a high quality perfectionist touch.
My only itch is that its aimed at men, crafty gals like us at The Nest get just as much joy and satifaction from wood grain and welding!
