honey please

keep on

why?...

Kelly Allen is an artist to know, understand & admire. With the onset of photoshop's cut & paste ease, you may assume her pieces are prints. Look again. All details are applied directly from Allen's hand to her choice of medium. Even more impressive than her technical skill is the thought behind her work; combining images, symbols & creatures your thoughts & sight would never partner, Allen shoves a new perspective of life & relationships in your face with graceful & enticing execution. In a world where artists are falling victim to cliched marketing schemes, Allen is a refreshing talent whose pieces radiate the essence of art.

always,

nic.

Gavin Smith: using skills behind the lens in fashion, sports, media & charities

You've seen his name before, & you've most definitely seen the sick photo's Gavin Smith (Gavin Smith Photographies) shoots for Vividbraille. What you may not know is that he's also living the sports-addict fantasy life as the Detroit Lions team photographer - & this doesn't begin to mention his list of other clients (TLC, Detroit Red Wings, Crest, ESPN...it's as long as it is expansive). Most recently Gavin was asked to donate his skills to the "When They Come Back...We Give Back" (WTCB) campaign.
