Hipster Dinosaurs?

 Just a funny link... hipster dinos


Gabi Trinkaus

  I really enjoy these pieces by Gabi  Trinkaus. On the exterior they may look like paintings but Trinkaus has taken photography and collage and created a beautiful surface with a wide range of textures/ tones/ text.

I would like to work with something like this soon.

Anthony Crossfield


Found Crossfield on beautiful decay. I enjoy the lighting and tones in these photographs as well as a suggestive narrative which is intriguing.

Lissy Laricchia



Laricchia is a Canadian photographer that creates dream-like imgaes by using props, digital manipulation and costumes. Location is another factor that plays into her scheme. I enjoyed her images because I cannot tell what she is digitally manipulating or what props she is using. She leaves me wondering and that is why and how she creates her photographs.


<--- Is that cloud of smoke photoshopped?Or is it simply made from cotton balls?









The figure being surrounded by trees gives this image a dream-like feel or perhaps even a fairy tale look to it.











This image reminds me of the Disney movies the Beauty and the Beast... the props/costume are suggestive of that. I don't think this photo has a cheerful ending like the childrens animated film does.
