Tiphanie Brooke of Antigirl emailed me with the wonderful news that she has completed her latest collection of collage. This collection, titled Bleed Deeply, features ton of vibrant color. Like her work before, I remain totally in love.

Prints and limited-edition lithographs of her previous collections as well as her line of handmade books are available for sale on her site.

My coworker Aeon introduced me to the work of H.Craig Hanna who is an amazing painter. I love the way his paintings are composed, tons of negative space and interesting texture and pattern.

My boss showed me the Fotographie issue for fashion photographer Tim Walker and I immediately fell in love with his work. Glam, decay, fantasy, impressive lighting… it’s all there. See more of his work here.

Strolling through ICFF last weekend, I have to confess that not much really impressed me. The display from Lumas, however, stopped me in my tracks. Just what I was looking for: affordable photography produced in limited editions.

Each signed and numbered photograph is a part of a limited edition and the photographers range from new talent on the scene, masters, classics and scientific photography. The gallery also offers some photos in open editions which are more affordable than the limited editions.

The photos can also be bought as is or framed and mounted. Firsthand, those options looked to be very well done. Also, the sizes of the prints offered provide a big impact… sizes range from approximately two feet square and larger.

The prints are absolutely stunning in person. I am loving this concept. Lumas has a brick and mortar gallery in Soho in New York that I’ll be sure to check out.

(I’ll be going over the rest of my ICFF picks later this week.)

Got a sweet email from Alena Hennessy regarding her upcoming show this weekend in a tearoom boutique called Bouteaque, New York’s Lower East Side. Her work, called “A Little Gathering” looks absolutely amazing. I am planning on checking it out just to see it all in person. The show will be on display from May 5 to June 30, the reception is from 3-7pm on Saturday. Bouteaque is located at 226 East Third Street, between Avenue B and C.

I was fortunate to able to snag the above print from artist Kim Beury’s Tiny Showcase submission and wanted to share her work with you all. Her website shows more of her stuff… loved all the cityscapes (and I was happy to get the print of the Silvercup Studios sign in Long Island City… I pass that every morning on my way to work.) and use of color.
