Photos of Louis Armstrong

It's hard not to smile looking at photos of Louis Armstrong:

Akseli Gallen-Kallela

Just discovered Finnish late 19th, early 20th century painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela:


Boy and Crow, 1884, 80 cm x 70 cm

"The Defense of the Sampo", 1896, 125 cm x 122 cm, tempera

Kullervo's Curse, 102.5 cm x 184 cm, oil

The last two paintings are illustrations from the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic poem.

Reggae Record Covers

Love the typography and imagery on these covers.

Pavel Pepperstein

Saw Pavel Pepperstein at the Venice Bienalle last summer and decided to blog about his humorous, deceptively simple depictions of future landscapes (click for full sizes, you have to read the captions):

Gerald Incandela

Gerald Incandela creates his images using "hand brushed silver gelatin print(s) on photographic paper":

"The Bench", 2009, 42"x42"


"Irregular Triangle", 2008, 42"x43"

I most appreciate the small splashes of low color tones, that are surprisingly difficult to notice immediately despite being in great contrast to the black and white images.
