Only the brave playbook
The blacks and yellow/oranges are glorious in this campaign, but fire is a worrisome symbol. Therefore not sure.
Roberto Cavalli is celebrating 40 years of his brand (and animal print domination) therefor Mert and Marcus who delivered some pretty stunning photography for Cavalli’s Anniversary book also photographed one of the last standing supermodels daring us with her environmentalist status: Gisele Bundchen on fighting wildfires!

First covered by the Guardian who ran this story back in 2009.
Invasion: ‘What I feel I am trying to convey is a sense of an aesthetically pleasing shape that clearly does not belong in that particular place or area,’ says Bosanko. Based in Cardiff, most of the light art is drawn either in the empty urban night spaces of cities like Newport and the artist’s home town, or in the more desolate landscapes of the Breacon Beacons.
He spent the past five years developing his technique. These images were taken with a long exposure on a digital Canon camera. Thirty-nine-year-old photographic artist Michael Bosanko has made these pictures, which have not been Photoshopped, using colored torches at night in the same way that an artist uses a paintbrush. His digital camera stays on a long exposure, ranging from 10 seconds to one hour to create the images against the backdrop of Cardiff, Newport and the Brecon Beacons in south Wales

Great slideshow in today’s Guardian featuring David Lynch sketches. Gorgeous artifacts of visual thinking.
This year the acclaimed director of Mulholland Drive turned to publisher Steidl to collate his new book, ‘Works on Paper’, featuring more than 500 of his drawings dating from the 1960s onwards.

You are looking at a snapshot of what haunted my own 9/11 experience in New York. For many nights after that terrible day downtown I endured the worse kind of feelings/dreams about mutually assured destruction.

Tokyo Photographer ‘Levitates’
Natsumi Hayashi makes flying look easy. But the self-portraits that seem to show the Toyko photographer levitating above the ground are actually the result of a lot of hard work.
“Sometimes I need to jump more than 300 times to get the perfect shot,” Hayashi told MSNBC.com on June 8. [Photo of Hayashi levitating]
Hayashi blogs a levitating picture-of-the-day each day on her website, http://yowayowacamera.com/. Either working with an assistant or using a self-timer, she uses photography to freeze herself hanging in the air in diners, phone booths and on Tokyo sidewalks.
Hayashi makes no bones about her levitation being an illusion,

Coffee cup drawings by Cheeming Boey. Designs that could be seriously cool tattoos. Simple non recycleable objects elevated to new heights with creativity.

Liking this sketch. Bizarrely reminded us of those odd and unfortunate up in the air scenes where Clooney appears to be holding the wedding couple.
It looks to be a great day in New York City for venturing out into the wilds. Follow these great explorers (consider climbing).

Great article from NYTimes about Inakadate.
Every spring in the rice paddies of the small town of Inakadate, Japan, locals work together to painstakingly plant and groom different hues of rice to create massive, intricate works of art before harvesting the rice in September.
This year’s masterpiece, a depiction of a samurai fighting a warrior monk, is in its full splendor. A tradition since 1993, the rice art attracts thousands of visitors every year. Amazing sight I would imagine.

They refer to him as the Grandfather of Japanese Graphic Design. Yusaku Kamekura is considered one of Japanese greatest first generation designers.
Uncompromising perfectionist, visionary and the profession’s first undisputed leader, Yusaku Kamekura worked all his life to shape his reputation.
