A very nice webpage for photographer Peter Funch. Some really nice pictures in there as well. I like the way the format of each photograph make a black button. This reminds me of a poster for a publisher I picked up in Amsterdam. I think the name of the publisher is Artimo. The poster had tumbnails of the book covers on one side and on the backside/posterside it had black fields the sice of the tumbnail on the other side.

Edit: Found the poster. It is Experimental Jetset thats behind it.
The bookstore changed its name from Artimo to Artimo A-Z after Experimetal made this poster and then they asked them to do the whole profile.
Here is the poster:

Some interesting ideas

Peter Callesen

A common theme in many of my works earlier works is a reinterpretation of classical fairytales as well as a more general interest in memory in connection to childhood - as for instance in my performances Castle, Folding and Jukebox. These playful performances exist in the lost land of childhood, between dream and reality, and It is in this meeting or confrontation of these two conditions, in a kind of utopian embodiment, that these works of art becomes alive, often in a tragicomic way.

This interest for the romantic is extended in my later exhibitions White Shadows at Esbjerg Art Museum and From dust to dusk, but here with less focus on the confrontation between dream and reality leaving more space for the poetic aspect as well as the possibility of a reality behind or within the dream.

YUKO SHIMIZU is an illustrator, educator, and not-so-prolific-at-this-moment fine artist.

After receiving Bachelor's Degree in Advertising and Marketing from Waseda University, she got a position in public relations in corporate Tokyo, Japan. "It was a decent job that never made me happy and I was in mid-life crisis at age of 22. It still took me more than 10 years to figure out what I really wanted to do and to save just enough so I could go back to school full time for 4 more years. That is how I came back to New York where I spent my childhood, and enrolled in School of Visual Arts (SVA)." She received my Master's Degree from Illustration as Visual Essay Program in 2003 and have been illustrating freelance since. She also teach in Illustration Department at SVA.

"I work in SHY Studio in Midtown Manhattan, a space which I share with two wonderful artist friends whom I consider as my New York family."
"Art is a never ending learning process which often times can be painful, but I love everything about it, and I have never gotten into mid-life crisis since."
