Print Society
The Print Society claims they are the best place to search for art that you can actually buy, and that they are the easiest and most effective way for artists and galleries to sell their prints.
While browsing the site weeks ago, I was drawn to this amazing and cute photographer named Joakim Boren. Joakim Boren is a Stockholm born photographer who documents historically significant architectural projects using the stark visual language of his large format camera to record socio-economic and political issues of contemporary society in the United Kingdom. His work can be purchased at Eye Buy Art at a reasonable rate. Go check him, and other artists out at Print Society and Eye Buy Art.
Objets Trouves Polaroid Scarf
Wear images of everyday life via these Polariod-esque scarves designed by Frenchman Philippe Roucou. Appropriately named Objets Trouves Polaroid Scarf, the collection offers a selection of Polariod images from balloons, a music show, a bed and French text. I love the look of these, Philippe is so clever, but I have to say, it’s kind of annoying that most of the scarves cost as much as a pair of (really decent) shoes!

Playboy: Helmut Newton’s Photography Book
Following Playboy’s celebrated fiftieth anniversary comes the retrospective Playboy: Helmut Newton. Newton is one of the 20th century’s most influential photographers. Renowned for his carefully composed, almost cinematic shots, Newton’s signature style makes for a dramatic counterpoint to the Playboy nudes known the world over. Collected between the book covers are more than 150 photographs. With a foreword by Hugh M. Hefner, an introduction by celebrated writer Walter Abish, and an afterword by Playboy’s director of photography for the past 30 years, Gary Cole, Playboy: Helmut Newton is the definitive book of Newton nudes.
