Settlements and City Strategies by Lekan Jeyifous
Lekan Jeyifo (tumblr / twitter)
This series contains abstracted planimetric drawings and eerily-serene cityscapes that suggest the changing contours of urban settlements. They represent an idea of a degenerate futurism, yet one might find similar typologies and scenes in places such as the favelas of Brazil and North Africa, and in overpopulated cities such as Lagos, Mexico City, and Mumbai. Though outputted digitally, the drawings possess a textured and painterly quality as a result of combining hand-drawn sketches, industrial textures, surfaces of deteriorated paper, and digital architectural models.
A constant interplay between digital and analog processes is important in my work, resulting in a highly layered set of documents. The drawings presented here started out as digital images that were outputted, sketched and drawn over, and scanned back into the computer in order to be retraced, textured, and layered

EYESCAPE BY RANKIN
London-based photographer John Rankin (tumblr) - “Synonymous with compelling portraiture, Rankin’s lens captures, creates and unveils icons. Rankin made his name in publishing, founding the seminal monthly magazine Dazed & Confused with Jefferson Hack in 1992. It provided a platform for innovation for emerging stylists, designers, photographers and writers. The magazine went on to forge a distinctive mark in the arts and publishing spheres, and developed a cult status forming and moulding trends, and bringing some of the brightest lights in fashion to the foreground.”
‘DECAYING FLOWERS’ WAS SHOT BY BILLY KIDD
Billy Kidd (tumblr | facebook) extremely talented photographer based in New York. - “When i was 6 we sold everything in a garage sale.I made an impressive $20 selling my He-Man action figures, Castle of Grayskull, G.I. Joe’s and every little thing. I thought it would be fun to put my money in a small wooden box and bury it with a small white string tied to it coming out of the dirt. I never found the money. We weaved around the US from state to state in an RV. I slept above the driver seat in a loft style bed, It was the coolest thing. Towards the end of our journey we went through Death Valley. A bag of ice cost us $3.49 in 1987. We settled down in Scottsdale, AZ.”
Extraordinary photos of young hitchhikers and freight train hoppers by Mike Brodie

PAINTINGS BY CRISTINA B
Switzerland-based, Italian artist Cristina B (tumblr / facebook) - “My work is basically led by the way I feel at the moment of painting. There is not a defined theme as I start; it develops as I draw lines and colours on the canvas. In a second moment, I define spaces and the colour palette: the dialogue between these two elements thus generates details and gives a shape to an as yet undefined concept.”

CHOCOLATE BY ORIANA FENWICK
Everyone loves chocolate
Germany, Frankfurt am Main based artist Oriana Fenwick (tumblr / behance) - “I have been living and working in Frankfurt since 2000 after having grown up in Harare, Zimbabwe. My work is and always has been greatly influenced by my fascination of the human form (ask my parents, who were unfortunate enough to have a daughter who insisted on practising her drawing skills on every available surface). Apart from this quirk I am the personified version of tidiness, a quality that probably helped me get the lines right with time. I have so far based my work on personal projects – what ever feels most comfortable at the time is what tends to have the best effect. As for the content, well lets just say I like to surprise myself.”
