Vintage British Postcards

Well, what better way to celebrate the Colourschool 2nd birthday than with a few vintage British postcards?! These have been sitting in a massive unordered pile in our sideboard for quite some time. They occasionally see the light of day when I fancy sending a someone a ‘thank-you’, but I really should get a proper [...]

James Pearson Howes

I’m loving the intrinsic folkiness of James Pearson Howes‘ photography work at the moment. His unique choice of subject matter in each series is an acid commentary on the absurd twists and turns of modern British culture. I’m not sure if the work is supposed to be a ongoing catalogue of present day folk circles [...]

Marion Dubier Clark

Go on then… Just one quick post before bed then. I’ve been enjoying the work of photographer Marion Dubier Clark quite a bit today. She’s been popping up fairly frequently on the likes of ffffound and I have to say that I think if I ever got married, I’d like her to take the pictures [...]

There’s a whole jumble of interesting images in there, (most of them scanned in from other material), but what appealed to me [...]

JR’s photo art in Rio

French artist and opportunist photographer, JR has recently been involved in a large-scale project in Rio de Janeiro to recover some of the City’s forgotten façades. His ability to transgress social and physical caste boundaries with his huge poster-bill photos is amiable. The final pieces are without doubt expressive, captivating and engaging. I’m usually a [...]

But Does it Float

Another irrational day of warm June weather, which will no doubt be punctuated by a rather damp day tomorrow. Thus the cycle of a British Summer rolls. But alas, good things are afoot once more on the internet and whilst sheltering from heat-glare induced tunnel vision,  I came across ‘But Does it Float‘. I’m rather [...]
