PORTA-RETRATO

i'm all wrapped up in this stunning series of photos from new york street photographer daniel featherstone. 

it's all about eccentric characters that capture his attention, in a city that continues to capture everyone's attention.

from featherstone: "Such a mix of transient diversity from the plastic surgery nobility to paraplegics to overwhelmed, zombie-like tourists. Every person I shoot is never staged, they are completely candid, I wouldn't have it any other way. The naturalness is what gives us all this common thread of knowing."

NYC GIFATHON

this is awesome. london-based animator, james curran, spent a month in nyc last year and created a gif for each day's (mis)adventures. through the thirty gifs he captures places and people and things we all know and love about new york. he strung all of the gifs together and it reads like a video journal slash extensive instagram travel post slash love/hate letter to a new york. i love the use of color, the consistency, and the fun. and i love that it really feels like a story. check it out.

CITY LOVE

new york. sf. seattle. this one's for you. 

creative director and illustrator kirk wallace created these really fun minimalist illustrations of the three different cities. don't they feel like icons a little? he then worked with designer latham arnott to animate them and i love the result. always a fan of minimalist, playful design.
